Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I am Sherry Mackeye at his time, right now for
- 0:03Speaker 1: today's word, see yourself the way God sees you. Genesis
- 0:09Speaker 1: thirty two twenty eight says, and he said, your name
- 0:12Speaker 1: shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel in the scripture.
- 0:18Speaker 1: For much of his life, Jacob lived up to the
- 0:21Speaker 1: meaning of his name. Swindler, supplanter, deceiver. Thoughts told him, Jacob,
- 0:27Speaker 1: this is just who you are. You're a fraud, You're
- 0:29Speaker 1: a con man. Think about it. Jacob tricked his older
- 0:33Speaker 1: twin brother Esau out of his birthright and his father's blessing.
- 0:39Speaker 1: But Daddy God still loved him some Jacob and whispered, no,
- 0:44Speaker 1: you're better than this, Jacob. I've put greatness on the
- 0:47Speaker 1: inside of you, and that's what he's whispering to you today.
- 0:51Speaker 1: You're better than this. I've put greatness on the inside
- 0:54Speaker 1: of you. Years went by, y'all. Years went by, and
- 0:58Speaker 1: finally the night came when Jacob's rendered to God and
- 1:01Speaker 1: asked him to take away the condemnation and the feeling
- 1:04Speaker 1: of being a failure. God came to Jacob and gave
- 1:08Speaker 1: him a new name, Israel, which can be translated prince
- 1:13Speaker 1: with God. When Jacob saw himself the way that God
- 1:19Speaker 1: saw him as a prince. He started making choices that
- 1:23Speaker 1: honored God. He started living like a prince. He started
- 1:27Speaker 1: thinking like a prince. See, the enemy would love for
- 1:31Speaker 1: you to go through life seeing yourself as a failure,
- 1:35Speaker 1: feeling like you're unworthier, you don't measure up. Why don't
- 1:38Speaker 1: you choose to see yourself the way that God sees you.
- 1:41Speaker 1: He sees you as fearfully and wonderfully made. He sees
- 1:44Speaker 1: you as restored, He sees you as redeemed. Yes, I
- 1:47Speaker 1: get it. You may have failed in the past, but
- 1:50Speaker 1: that's what you did. It's not who you are. When
- 1:56Speaker 1: you confess your sins, He's faithful and just to forgive
- 1:59Speaker 1: you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Y'all, failure is
- 2:06Speaker 1: an event. It's not a person. It's not who you are.
- 2:10Speaker 1: You are a childhood, the most hot God. He calls
- 2:13Speaker 1: you a prince or a princess. So see yourself the
- 2:16Speaker 1: way that he sees you. Father God, thank you that
- 2:23Speaker 1: you have a new name for us, that by your
- 2:26Speaker 1: grace we are going to reign in life. Thank you
- 2:29Speaker 1: that we can take negative labels off of our lives.
- 2:32Speaker 1: And proudly where the name of prince or princess and
- 2:36Speaker 1: become all that you called us to be. We're not
- 2:39Speaker 1: a failure. We have favor, we have blessings on our
- 2:45Speaker 1: life because of who you made us to be. We
- 2:47Speaker 1: believe that you're gonna bless us in amazing ways. In
- 2:51Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Now that's your word for today. I want
- 2:54Speaker 1: you to take that apply it to your everyday life
