We are walking in today: You Are Valuable!
Psalm 8:4-6 4) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5) For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6) Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet. The devil wants you to question yourself. Let us learn to value ourselves by the word of God. You care for what you value. When we look at this vast expansion of creation, we wonder how God could be concerned for people who constantly disappoint Him? Yet God created us only a little lower than Himself. The next time you question your work--remember that God considers you, highly valuable! We have great worth because we bear the stamp of the Creator, Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. We can see the great work that He has places upon all people. Because God has already declared how valuable we are to Him. We can be free from feelings of worthlessness. Psalm 139:14, 17-18 14) I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 17) How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18) If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. We are living by the value that scriptures speak of. That is what has earned us a good reputation and makes us worthy. God made us in His own image, so He must value us highly! He also emphasizes how important our souls are to Him. What makes us worthy? 1 Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. You must honor God with your body. Long ago even before He made the world, God loved us and choose us--in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes. His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family--by bringing us to Himself, through Jesus Christ. This gave Him great pleasure so we praise God for the wonderful kindness that God has poured out on us, because we were restored by His dearly beloved Son. He is so rich, in kindness that He purchased our freedom through the blood of His Son and out sins are forgiven!! Ephesians 1:4-7 4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
I don't know about you but God preserves me because I am valuable to Him. You are valuable! The value of a thing is determined by how much some one would pay for that thing. God paid for you with the blood of Jesus. Revelation 1:5-6 5) And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6) And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. That makes you special and costly--believe that because as a man thinks, so is he. We must meditate on our new selves. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 17) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18) And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation. All things are of God who has reconciled us unto Himself, by Jesus Christ--and given us the ministry of reconciliation. Look at the price God has paid for you!
We are children of the most high God! He gave us dominion over the earth! Let us yield to the spirit of the Lord, fiveamprayer. His word tells us that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church! God has preserved us for such a time as this. We have to know who we are in Christ. We have been given God's approval, because we are covered in His precious blood! Thank You Jesus! God comes to remind us that we have already been given dominion over the earth-- We have gotta know how valuable we are to Him! No longer be a part of the devil's plan to kidnap one of God's own children. Jesus paid our ransom on the cross, it is finished and done! Once you have been freed, who goes back into the prison? The prison that has the door wide open, that you have already been rescued from? No more believing the devil's lies!! We are so important to God that He gave His only begotten Son to redeem us! That is how valuable you are! Why be cast down when God is mindful of you! He told us yesterday that even a sparrow dropping to the ground does not escape His notice, how much more does He note everything about us, His beloved?! He gave the most while we were at our least--there is no greater love, than this! While yet sinners, even while on the cross, asking the Father for forgiveness, that we know not what we do. It is time to wake up and know what you are doing!! Who do you belong to, Your Father in heaven? No longer seek man's approval over God's! The mercy, grace, love, peace, joy are all found in Him, who has plans for us! Why would you wander around lost and struggling when you have a home?! Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Psalm 90:1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. Luke 15:16-23 16) And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17) And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18) I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19) And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20) And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.21) And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22) But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23) And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry. Look at us, we are very similar to the prodigal son--living life all out of order and then finally coming to realize our mistakem come in seeking to be valued lower than we really are. But God is and was watching for us, and saw us a long way off, as we made our return home. He has compassion for us and receives us with love and great joy! While the son is looking to be placed lower, the father restores his place. All of this speaks to the value, He has for us! That is not something we can always find in man, so why look to man for approval that can change from moment to moment?! Or is conditional based on performance. We can see by scripture, God's love is not based on performance, the son took the inheritance and lived a wild life, yet was received back home with love and joy! We know that any one of value to us receives great care! How a mother is watchful of her sleeping baby. As a father is watchful of his child playing. God has that same kind of eye watching us! God is ready to receive us when we come back, repair us if needed from the damage we get from the world. Once restored we are to go back out, doing His work!! You know that things stolen are things of value. That is why the devil comes to attack our minds, to get us to believe his lies--we are valuable to the Lord, so that makes us a target for the devil to steal. That is why angels are encamping us and we have a hedge of protection around us! God does not put more on us than we can bear! Things that are not worthy of protection usually aren't valued. Thank You God for showing up this morning, to let us know that we have value. Too many times in the world we are told we don't have any value--in our families, jobs communities--all lies of the devil. The enemy is persistant, but God is more!! He keeps showing up with His love, mercy and grace. He is even keeping us--even while we are unawares. Yesterday He told us that He is perserving us! That means that He has kept us and perserved us to reach the expected end that He has for us!! Just think of the things that are perserved, great manuscripts, ancient artifacts are often protected with special cases, temperture control, special air filters to keep out dust and dirt. We have all of these measures of protection too! We are sealed in the blood, filled with the Holy Spirit and have the Bible to be our filter to only allow in the things that are God, holding back the non-sense of the world. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 21) Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22) Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Thank You God for keeping us and letting us know that we have worth in Your sight. Fiveamprayer we are valuable!! The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy--he knows that you are valuable, that you are a weapon and are chosen by God. We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us. That the Greater One lives on the inside of us! God has given us weapons to take out the enemy! The word tells us that no weapon formed agaisnt us shall prosper! The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church! We are valuable! We have God on the inside of us, we are to walk by faith and not by sight! We can stand on and trust His word--Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? We are blessed and highly favored and chosen for this fight! Don't be held captive by the lies planted in your mind! God comes to let us know that He will keep us with our minds stayed on Him. Hold to the truth, stand on His word. He is true and His word never fails!! Cast off your flesh and the lies of the enemy!! We are so valued that He gave His only begotten Son, for us to be able to fellowship with Him again! Let your focus be on the Almighty, for He has already overcome the world--making us more than conquers! Bind up depression and loose the joy of the Lord, it is your strength! We must really come to know and stand on the knowledge and understanding of who our Father is! His grace is sufficient! Great is His mercy! He is not a dad that only comes around on the weekends, He is ever mindful of us, keeping watch over us always! It is time to stop acting like you don't know who you are! A child of the Most High God!! A child of the kingdom of heaven! We have been adopted in and have full rights and access to our heavenly home! Thank You Jesus, praise His name! He has given us the power to speak His words, here on the earth and the earth is subject to us! We had already been given dominion, why are some of us bowing down to things in the earth. Our humility is only for the Creator of all things! No more submitting to things or people for approval. Our only approval comes from God, He has deemed us valuable and of great worth! Think of it, He created us in His image, breathed the breath of life into us, gave us dominion and authority. When you really look at it God is giving unto us so much--won't you give yourself back to Him!? You have not done that well on your own, but look at this, He is ready to receive you when ever you return home! With a great celebration of cheers and love! How could you think that you are not valued!! Luke 15:4-7 4) What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? 5) And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6) And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7) I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Since many of us are not shepherds, let's look at this as if you had a lost child, would you not search for them until you found them!? Rejoicing when they are safe in your arms?! That is the same thing God is doing with you, looking for your return into the safety of His bosom! The Lord that we serve can speak a word, that will turn things around! We must stand on His word in confidence, He has reconciled us to Him. There are so many believers that are murmuring and complaining. God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. No test, no testimony--fiveamprayer, God has the winning hand! We must suit up for battle! He goes before us, making the crooked places straight. He brings us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Do you know who you are in Christ?! You are dangerous and unstoppable!! We are so valuable, He never slumbers or sleeps! We are valuable! God loves us! He calls us friend! He left the Holy Spirit with us. We are so valuable, He is always mindful of us, protecting us! God knows the plans that He has for us, plans to give us an expected end! He knew that you would be in the place that you are in right now! Hold on, joy comes in the morning! His strength is made perfect in our weakness! We can call on Him, "Lord rise up, let your enemies be scattered!" We can speak a word, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper!! Call on the name of Jesus. God is mindful of us!! He will come by, late in the midnight hour, He is sitting by your bed! You are not by yourself, He has left us with the Comforter. We were made a little lower than the angels--know who you are in Christ! Pick up the playbook--read it! He will preserve us, we are valuable to God!! The devil fears us--God has given us so much power, do you know who you are?! Stop acting like you don't have dominion--God has put all things under our feet!! Take back all that the enemy stole--go in to the camp and take it all back!! Even if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, He is with us! We have to walk it out. He has put it all under our feet! Know who you are! It is a fight! Suit up with the whole armor of God. All things can be done through Him!! The greater One lives on the inside of us! The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Get up and fight for your marriage--speak God's word over your life! We are valuable to God. Know who you are, fiveamprayer!! The devil knows who you are and he is trying to tell you, that you that women can't do that in ministry, that it will fail, that you don't have the right skills. The devil is still a liar!! Mary carried the word--Jesus! We are valuable!! Know who you are! God has overcome the world! We are not of this world!! Stop looking for God's recognition--man doesn't have a heaven or hell to put you in. Have a relationship with God. Stop putting all of your focus on your relationships with people Don't wait on on man to justify you. Don't have no rocks crying out for you! You are valuable to God Really get this! The Spirit will fall on all flesh, don't miss it, because you don't know who you are!! God anointed the whole church--we are valuable to God. It is under our feet!! Fiveamprayer, take back your mind, peace, and joy! Hallelujah God! Thank You God, we have dominion, He never took it back. We stopped operating in it, stop waiting for someone to tell you your worth. We are to listen to what the Spirit of the Lord says. God telling you be still--listen only to Him! Get your relationship right with God, now!! It is He that orders our steps. Time out for playing church! Know how valuable you are to God. He knows the number of hairs on our heads! We are a little lower than the angels. I am so glad that God made us in His image!! We are fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank You Lord, what is man that You are mindful of us?! God is thinking about us all the time, when will our focus be on God all the time?! Take your focus off of the storm, put it back on God! Stand on His word, He will deliver you out of what you are in! We are not worried about the storm or the fire, we know that the greater One lives on the inside of us. Wow God! We have been preserved because we are valuable. That is enough to set you free, every bondage in your life has just broken off just on the weight of that revelation! Hallelujah God! We have value and have been freed, by the blood of Christ. Put your eyes back on God, not the situation. He is Alpha and Omega, He knows the beginning from the end, is the Author and Finisher of our faith. The Lord values us! He is the great I AM that I AM! The devil thought that he had us--God comes to let us know that we have value! Keep getting up and seeking His face and praising His name! Go visit us on facebook, it will encourage you. We are valuable to God--fearfully and wonderfully made! We must walk the walk and talk the talk. Walk in this word this weekend! Have a supernatural and blessed weekend!
