Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the
day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (1 John
4:17).
Being born again, you’re a new creation in Christ Jesus (2
Corinthians 5:17), having the life and nature of God in your spirit.
See His description of you in 1 Peter 2:9: “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light.” You’re peculiar, chosen, royal,
supernatural,and one of a kind! See yourself in this light.
The
Word of God is God’s mirror, which He gave to you, so you can look and
see who you really are. For example, in His prayer to the Father, Jesus
said “...the glory which thou gavest me I have given them...” (John
17:22); that’s God holding up His mirror for you to see that you’re a
partaker of His glory. You’ve been glorified with Jesus.
Ponder
again on His description of you in 1 Peter 2:9: “But ye are a chosen
generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that
ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light.” You’re chosen, royal and peculiar;
you’re unique and special. You’re the most celebrated of all God’s
creation; you’re born of His Word, and full of the Holy Ghost. He chose
you to be the one to show forth His praises and manifest His glory in
the earth. What a calling!
When the Lord Jesus walked this earth, even though He laid aside His
glory, He walked gloriously. He lived and manifested the supernatural.
He walked on water, talked to the wind and the waves, unstopped deaf
ears, opened blind eyes, healed lame legs, restored maimed limbs, and
even raised the dead. He was extraordinary. He did all that He did to
let us know that we have the same ability within us to function
likewise.
The same Holy Spirit that was the power and essence of
Jesus lives in you today. That means you can think, talk, walk, and act
like Jesus. What a life!
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you
for your Word that has lifted and placed me on a pedestal beyond the
ordinary. I acknowledge my special place in Christ and declare that my
life is a manifestation of your glory even as I live and walk in the
supernatural today, and always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. [Exod.
19:5, 6.]
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of

we may be also glorified together.
