Our church has been doing this whole "Born Identity" thing since the beginning of the year, basically teaching us to know who we are in Christ. Pastor Dave talked tonight about how when the Israelites were in the desert on the way to the promised land they saw the miracles of God but they didn't know Him. They were so rebellious in fact that God said He grieved over their behavior. What I took from this was that I can't look to the miracles and healings in my life as God's approval of who I am and what I am doing. God wants to do good things because He is good. He wants to heal people because He loves them. It's not because I am good enough, or the televangelist is good enough, or the preacher is good enough, it is because God is good enough. He can use a talking donkey if He needs to in order to get what He needs accomplished.
It is so important that I just spend time with Him in His presence and get to know Him for who He is. I do not want to hear Him say, "depart from me, for I never knew you."
I got to pray with two wonderful women today. God blessed those prayers because they have great faith and they believe that they received what they asked for ( Mark 11:24) and I know that God heard those prayers and is working on their situations even as I type this.
I love that this prayer and love journey has taught me so much already and I am still in the first month!
Be BLESSED!
