Have you looked in the mirror and felt like a failure? Do you have a low self-esteem or even worse do you believe the reports that you will not amount to anything? Are you telling yourself the lies they said? Who’s the enemy now? We can be our own worst nightmare.
Have you ever seen the comedy skit with Bob Newhart where he is a Psychiatrist and the patient has a fear they are buried in a box? His answer to this phobia is two words. The patient asks “should I write them down?” The Doctor says, “if you want, but generally most people can memorize these two words.”“ Then he shouts at the top of his lungs, “STOP IT”!
There many today who need to here this! You are A1 in Christ not 4F. For those who have never served in the military, that means you are physically and spiritually qualified to serve in the Army of Yahweh as His ambassadors of reconciliation. You are qualified because He made you that way. You are new! Amen? So “Stop It!” Speak the truth to yourself, “you are loved!”
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 AMP
“So from now on we regard no one from a human point of view [according to worldly standards and values]. Though we have known Christ from a human point of view, now we no longer know Him in this way. Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. But all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ [making us acceptable to Him] and gave us the ministry of reconciliation [so that by our example we might bring others to Him], that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting people’s sins against them [but canceling them]. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation [that is, restoration to favor with God]. So we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us; we [as Christ’s representatives] plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God. He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].”
