TOPIC: HOW DO YOU SEE YOURSELF?

KEY SCRIPTURE: II Corinthians 3:18 AMPC

"And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit."

COMMENTARY:

Think of someone who has been married to a tyrant. They were hateful and did terrible things to their spouse. Then they died and the wife remarried. She is going to have the same thought patterns and actions toward her new husband as she did with her old. Until she renews her mind, she will expect this present mate to treat her the same way as her previous mate.

I have dealt with many people who are destroying their second or third marriage because of prior relationships. They cannot renew their mind to their new spouse. In the sexual relationship, they bring their old habits into a born-again marriage and cause lots of problems. Although that old mate is gone, they still retain the knowledge of what went on—and it affects their present relationship.

That is the way it is with us. Our old man is gone. A part of you is not the devil anymore. That part is dead and gone. But you still have a mind that remembers all that junk. Since most of us do not understand that the old man is gone and we are wed now to a new husband, we see that we still have these thoughts and assume we are still the same old person. We think that there is still a part of us that is bent on doing wrong and we identify with it.

You cannot consistently perform contrary to the way you see yourself to be (Prov. 23:7). How do you see yourself? That is the way you are going to be. Do you see yourself as a loser trying to win? You are going to lose. Do you see yourself as a winner that Satan is trying to make lose? You will win. There is a huge difference! Do you see yourself as the sick trying to believe God for healing? You will be sick. Do you see yourself as the healed that Satan is trying to steal health from? You will be well. Do you see yourself poor trying to become prosperous? You will be poor. Do you see yourself as the prosperous—already done through Christ Jesus—that the devil is trying to hinder? You will be prosperous. 

Change what you see and you change what you receive. What you behold is what you become. “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” II Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) You see! You are transformed into the image you behold. The choice is yours to either see yourself how God sees you from the scripture or you choose to see yourself from the perspectives of your circumstances, environment, bad history or Satan. You have to get it on the inside before you get it on the outside. Everything you receive from God comes on the inside first.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, I thank You for Your word today. I receive the grace to continually renew my mind to the reality of the wondrous things written about me in Your word, in Jesus' Name. AMEN!
