Our Spiritual Lineage

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves.
Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you
as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.
Romans 8:15-16 (NLT)

Do you know who you really are because of Jesus Christ?
According to the Scriptures, you are a son or daughter of the Most High God!
Do you see yourself that way today?

Oftentimes we do not expect God's goodness
because we are walking around feeling defeated, depressed, weak and unworthy.
We need to remember that God has given us a royal robe of righteousness
through His Son, Jesus Christ.
We are already approved by God.
We are already accepted by Him and adopted into His family.
We are of a royal lineage!

I know a lot of Christians who say of themselves,
"I'm just a sinner saved by grace."
The truth is, we were old sinners,
but when we came to Christ,
we were made new.
We are not sinners anymore!
We are sons and daughters of the Most High God.
We have been changed!
We have been born into a new family!
We are new creatures!

The next time you find yourself feeling defeated,
rise up and say,
"I am royalty!
I am the head and not the tail!
God has but me above and not beneath!"
Remember, you are a child of the Most High God,
and He has victory and blessing in store for you today!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
Kendall

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me.
Thank You for making me an heir of Your promises.
I choose to stand in Your righteousness and walk
worthy of Your high calling today.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
