Reminded by the Spirit of My Identity in Christ - July 7, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, July 7 - Reminded by the Spirit of My Identity in Christ   Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are the Way to Heaven; and You’ve made Your way into my heart and life by Your Holy Spirit, who reminds me every morning and throughout the moments of my day that I am a child of God. ...   “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a Spirit of Adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we in fact suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Romans 8:14-17).   Simple but profound and forever true -- Your Spirit bearing witness with my spirit that I am saved, I am forgiven, I am free. I am a child of God.   Every now and I then, I just need to take a moment, take my morning time here in the silence of surrender before You, here in my morning communion of prayer with You, to remember my identity. Secured and assured by Your Spirit that You are with me, that You are for me, that You have given me Your Spirit of Adoption to know and not doubt that I am a child of God.   I’m an heir of Heaven, as a joint heir with Christ. And my inheritance is my identity, that God himself is my Father -- a Father who never leaves me nor forsakes me; a Father who loves me and looks out for me; a Father who even takes whatever sufferings I endure on my journey through this sliver of time I have in this world on this side of Heaven, to make me more like Jesus every day in the glory of His identity.   As Your Word goes on to say in the next verse: “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us” (v. 18).   Yes, Lord. My Father God, I am Your child. Lord Jesus, I am Your joint heir, even as I am also Your disciple and servant. Holy Spirit of the Living God, I am living in constant communion with You as You abide in me and bear witness to me of who I am in Christ.   Nothing I ever encounter and overcome, nothing I suffer through on my journey through this broken and fallen world, will ever separate me from Your love (v. 38-39). “No, in all these things (I am) more than victorious through Him who loves (me)!” (v. 37)   Thank You for reminding me of Your written Word and sending it into my spirit by Your spoken word this morning -- simple, profound, and forever true. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays My friend, may you be reminded by the Spirit of your identity as a child of God, forgiven and free, secured and assured of His forever love for you, in Jesus' name. Please pray the same for me. God bless you, my friend! Tommy Hays | Messiah Ministries Messiah Ministries Mailing Address: 412 S.
