"I am a child of the King"

Because of who Jesus Christ is, and because He is my Savior and Lord:

I am a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, (Rev. 1:8, John 1:12)

seated with Christ in the heavenly realm. I am chosen, accepted,(Eph 2:6, 1 Pet 2:9)

and included - a citizen of heaven and a member of God's household. (John 14:1-6, Eph. 2:19)



I am loved by God unconditionally and without reservation. (Rom 5:6-8, 1 John 4:10)



I belong to Him, having been bought by Him with the (1 Peter 2:9, 1 Cor. 6:19)

precious blood of Jesus. I have eternal life and will be (1 John 5:11-13, John 3:16)

saved from all of God's wrath to come - guaranteed! (Rom. 5:9, Eph 1:13-14)



I am a Christian. I am not just different in what I do. (1 peter 4:16)

My identity has changed. Who I am has changed. Everything has become brand new. ( 2 Cor 5:17, Gal 2:20)



I am a dwelling place in which God lives by His Spirit. (Eph 2:22, 1 Cor. 6:19)

I have access to Him anytime, anywhere, for any reason. (Eph 2:22, Phil 4:6-7)



I am God's creation - His workmanship. I was created (Ps. 139, Eph 2:10)

by Him and for Him, so who I am and what I do matters.(Col. 1:16, Gal 6:7-9)

I am spiritually alive. I have been set free from the fear of death( Rom. 6:8-11, Heb 2:14-15)

and have been given life to live and enjoy to the full. (John 10:10)



I am forgiven - completely, totally, and absolutely. (1 John 1:9, Ps 103:8-13)



I have been rescued from the dominion of darkness and

brought into the Kingdom of light - the Kingdom of the Son. (Col 1:13)

I have been set free from the penalty of sin and the power of sin. (Rom 6:16-23, Gal 5:1)



I am an enemy of Satan and at war with spiritual forces of evil, (1 Peter 5:8, Eph. 6:12)

but greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)



If God is for me, it doesn't matter who or what stands against me,(Rom 8:31, Eph 1:18-23)

because nothing and no one can separate me from the love of Christ

-not hurt, pain, loss, problem, or brokenness;

not persecution, trouble, difficulty, or danger;

not abandonment, abuse, addictions, or appetites;

not desires, food, sexuality, or relationships;

not life or death, angels or demons;

not my past, the present, or the future;

no power, no person, no place, not anything in all creation; (Rom 8:35-39)

not even Satan himself shall prevail. (Col. 2:15)



I am in the hands of Jesus, in the hands of God, and nothing and no one

can snatch me out of God's hands. (John 10:27-28)



I will fear no evil because God is with me, (Ps 23:4, 2 Tim 1:7)

and He has promised to never leave me nor forsake me.(Heb 13:5)



God's presence is with me everywhere I go - (Ps 139:7)

to the heights of heaven, through the valley of the shadow,

to the ends of the earth - forever and always. (Matt. 28:19-20)



I am a child of the King and choose this day to live as one.

(All of is directly taken from scripture!) =)

A light that barely flickers.

I can't sleep.
I really want to though.

I feel like crying.
I don't like who I am.

Tonight at breakaway the speaker told a story of a boy who accepted Christ at the age of 8, and lived his life fully for God until his death at the age of 15. How after his death, because of the way he lived his life, people continued to come to Christ.

It makes me stop and think, where is my passion?
Can anyone even see that I love Christ?
Am I being a light to the world?
Am I being salt?

If not, why not.
Am I bringing or pointing people to the savior?
What areas am I not giving over to God and why am I not doing so?

I feel so lost and confused. I don't want to live my life for myself, but I don't know what I am doing, or what He wants to do through me.

God, help me. I want to live for You, I am so lost as to how. Break my heart for You. Teach me to follow You, to take up my cross daily.
Help me Lord, please please help me.
With love, to Love.
Amen
