Know Me

Meditate on the fact that God chose you and He knows everything about you.  Ps 139 states that He knew us before we were even formed in our mother's womb, all our days were written in His book before one of them came to be.  We are no surprise to God!

If God chose us, loves us, and desires a close and intimate relationship with us why do we continue to believe the lies of satan. Why do we not walk in the power and authority that God gave us?  I know I want to totally shake off the past and the old mind sets and start walking in all the good things that God has for me.  I want to lay hands on the sick and see the sick made whole, I want to see people set free from the chains that bind them.  I want to step up in being a doer of the Word.

Today in church I heard something that is not new but got my attention.  We cannot change the past so we just need to stop trying.  We are new creatures in Christ and ALL things have become brand new.  My slate was wiped clean.  The past may have said I was worthless and could do nothing but God's word says I can do ALL things through Him.  People may have rejected me but God chose me.  I may feel small and insignificant at times but God has called me great and a mighty warrior.  I am ready to step into the authority as a daughter of the most high God and know that I AM an atmosphere changer.  Those I come in contact with daily may be serving other gods but my God is greater.

Stop believing all the negative things from your past and know that God knows you, He loves you, and He pursues you with an everlasting love.  When you gaze at His beautiful face all that junk fades away and becomes no more.  I read online that strongholds that have been built up in our lives are things we have focused on.  Stop focusing on the past, on past failures and past mistakes.  It is time to shift our focus to the God who knows us, who knew us before we were even formed.

I am going to shift my focus off of my problems, off of my frustrations and just focus on the one who knows and loves me.
Please take time to listen to this song:  You Know Me.  Do not fear that God knows every detail about you.  He loves you just as you are and wants every part of you.  Give yourself to Him and enjoy the journey.

  1. OMG Psalm 139 is one of my favorite all-time verses. The other week, I was leading a Bible Study for 15 and 16 year olds girls and just read it over them. My favorite part is Psalm 139:17: "How precious are your thoughts concerning me, were I to count them they would outnumber the grains of sand." Just ask God for an image or word of one of his thoughts for you...someone had us do this as an excercise during a worship conference the other week. Also, "You Know Me" is one of my favorite songs!!!
