YOU ARE THE WILL OF GOD

You are the will of God! How does that grab you? Ever thought of that before? Ever thought of yourself as being the will of God? Wow!

James 1:18 says, "Of his own will begot he us with the word of truth." OK. If His own will brought us forth, we're born of His will, aren't we?

Say it out loud: "I am the Father's will." Say it until your ears become accustomed to it. Say it until your spirit absorbs it. Don't you like the sound of it? Doesn't it do something to you just to know that YOU ARE the Father's will? Bet you never thought of that before!

Repeat that phrase over and over not as a mantra of some sort, but as a confession. We've talked about confession in some of our recent blogs. You know you can never rise above your confession. And if you always confess your failings, your weaknesses, your lack of ability, etc., your lack of ability and your weaknesses will rule you. You can never enjoy anything beyond your confession. Your faith will never be stronger than your confession. So freely confess, "I am the Father's will."

So now that you know you are the Father's will, find out how He wants to use you in His great harvest field, what He wants you to do.

Oftentimes people think they are useless as far as working for the Lord is concerned. But I'm here to tell you that just as there isn't a uselss member in the physical body, so there isn't a useless member in the spiritual body, in the Body of Christ.

You have a place. And with that place comes responsibility. If you don't take your place in the Family of God, the Body of Christ becomes weakened because of it. Just don't set yourself up as a critic. Some people feel it is their calling to criticize everyone and everything! Not so.

My challenge to you today is to find your God-given place in the Body of Christ and fill it.

Remember, you are the will of God!
