THE REDFINITION OF YOU! A Time to Regroup # 6

The Redfinition of You!
A Time to Regroup Part 6!

Saints, I pray you come to know the richness in the Faith of Christ Jesus, and the love to which you are deeply anchored, securely grounded, as you experience the unfailing, unending supply, and overwhelming love of God for you! PRAISE GOD!

In a Time to Regroup in August, God has His people Redefining their identity, as they know who they are in Christ Jesus. In the new book "The Forbidden Fruit, the Spiritual Disease," in Chapter 1 Eden, God has me extensively get into the

Image + Environment = Form (identity)

Your self-image is a perceived reality, coming from an environment, either the Kingdom of Heaven or the kingdom of the world.

All day long we're projecting onto others our own reflection, of who we believe we are, seeing them through love's eyes or the eyes of fear, searching for ourselves.

You can only love others as you love yourself. Jesus spoke of this, as is recorded in Matthew 22.

37 "And He replied to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (intellect). 38 This is the great (most important, principal) and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as [you do] yourself. 40 These two commandments [f]sum up and upon them depend all the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 22:37-39 AMPC

God is love, and it is only Him inside of us, by the power of The Spirit of Christ, and the Holy Spirit, that we're able to perceive who we are, having our living, moving and being in God.

So many times, we don't realize that the distractions of this present age, cause us to look to circumstances and people's reaction of us, for our definition of "self," instead of looking to the Author and Finisher of our faith, Christ Jesus.

Redefine means "to define again differently." Define means to "state or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of." This word comes from the Latin word definire, which comes from two specific Latin words de meaning "expressing completion," and finire meaning "finish."

The Word of God shows us that Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He knows the beginning from the end! Saints, God already sees the finished work of who you are, but do you?

I know this well with my own sons. I encourage my youngest son, Matthew, continually of the finished work I see in him, of being a Pulitzer Prize winning author, an amazing young man in the faith, and a humble person who is highly favored everywhere he goes. It doesn't mean that he sees what I see, but as much as I hope for him to see through my eyes of how I view him, how much more does God do that for us?

GLORY TO GOD!

Saints, read Jeremiah 29:11-13 and find the God of Abaraham, Isaac and Jacob, looking to find Him and find loves eyes to see yourself! PRAISE GOD! Then you will look for that reflection in others, believing the best!

Self-hatred merely looks for the reflection of the badness of yourself in others, whereas self-love, looks for and believes the best!

God bless!

11 "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. 12 Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. 13 Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13 AMPC

"Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]." 1 Corinthians 13:7 AMPC
