Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: It's your early morny praise party. I am a Sherry
- 0:03Speaker 1: Mackie at its time. For today's word, Live like you belong,
- 0:10Speaker 1: Live like you belong. Robins eight fifteen says, so you
- 0:16Speaker 1: have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead,
- 0:20Speaker 1: you received God's spirits when he adopted you as his
- 0:25Speaker 1: own children. Now we call him Abah Father, y'all, that's
- 0:29Speaker 1: Daddy God. Come on, have you ever stopped to ask
- 0:32Speaker 1: yourself this question? Am I living like a child of God?
- 0:35Speaker 1: Or am I living like a slave. As a child
- 0:38Speaker 1: of God, you have rights of sonship, you belong to him.
- 0:41Speaker 1: You are loved, you are accepted. You are chosen not
- 0:45Speaker 1: because of your performance, but because of his grace. God's
- 0:49Speaker 1: word reminds us that it is the Father's good pleasure
- 0:53Speaker 1: to give you the kingdom. That means he delights in
- 0:56Speaker 1: blessing you. He isn't looking for reasons to withhold his goodness.
- 0:59Speaker 1: He's looking for opportunities to pour out his favor, his piece,
- 1:03Speaker 1: his provision, and his love on your life. But so
- 1:06Speaker 1: many believers continue to live beneath their inheritance. They walk
- 1:10Speaker 1: through life feeling guilty, feeling a shame, feeling unworthy, believing
- 1:15Speaker 1: they have to earn God's approval. They think one more
- 1:17Speaker 1: mistake has disqualified them from his promises. That's exactly where
- 1:22Speaker 1: the enemy wants to stay. Yes, the battle has already
- 1:26Speaker 1: been won. Jesus defeated sin, he defeated death in every
- 1:30Speaker 1: power of the darkness on the cross, the oppressor has
- 1:33Speaker 1: been defeated. But don't think for a moment that the
- 1:36Speaker 1: enemy has stopped talking. He'll work over time trying to
- 1:40Speaker 1: remind you of your past. He'll whisper you're not good enough,
- 1:43Speaker 1: you'll never change, you'll always struggle. God can't use someone
- 1:48Speaker 1: like you. But the devil is a liar and those
- 1:51Speaker 1: are lies. What he's really saying is you're still a slave.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Just accept your limitations. But today it's time to answer
- 2:00Speaker 1: the truth of God's word. Tell the enemy you've got
- 2:03Speaker 1: the wrong person. I'm not a slave, I'm a son
- 2:06Speaker 1: of God. I'm not rejected. I'm accepted. I'm blessed. I'm favored,
- 2:10Speaker 1: I'm prosperous. I'm called by God. I am more than
- 2:14Speaker 1: a conqueror through Jesus Christ. I am here to make
- 2:16Speaker 1: a difference. Remember, you don't become God's child. After you've
- 2:22Speaker 1: finally done good enough, you've done enough deeds, you've reached
- 2:25Speaker 1: some level of spiritual perfection. No, you became His child
- 2:29Speaker 1: the moment you place your faith in Jesus Christ and
- 2:32Speaker 1: accepted him as you're a savior. Your identity isn't based
- 2:35Speaker 1: on your performance, It's based on His finished work. So today,
- 2:39Speaker 1: let go of the slave mentality, stop believing the lives
- 2:43Speaker 1: of the enemy, and live it beneath what God pray
- 2:46Speaker 1: for him across. Lift your head, walk with confidence, and
- 2:50Speaker 1: embrace an abundant mindset. Live like someone who knows they
- 2:54Speaker 1: belong to the King of kings, because guess what you do.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, thank you that Jesus Christ, through him, you've
- 3:02Speaker 1: not only forgiven our sins, but you completely defeated the
- 3:06Speaker 1: enemy on our behalf. Thank you that we no longer
- 3:09Speaker 1: have to live in guilt, fear, and condemnation. We are
- 3:12Speaker 1: not a slave to our past, our mistakes, or our weaknesses.
- 3:15Speaker 1: We are children chosen, loved and accepted by You. Help
- 3:19Speaker 1: us to silence every life of the enemy and replace
- 3:21Speaker 1: it in the truth of God's word. Teach us to
- 3:24Speaker 1: walk confidently in the inheritance that You've already given us
- 3:27Speaker 1: to live with boldness and joy and freedom of your
- 3:30Speaker 1: sons and daughters. Oh God, today we choose to embrace
- 3:35Speaker 1: an abundant mentality, knowing that your favor rest on our
- 3:38Speaker 1: lives in Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Take it applied to your everyday life, and you continued
- 3:44Speaker 1: to be encouraged and inspired. It's your early morning braise party.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackie.
