CONFIDENCE OF INNOCENCE

God’s Word says that Christ is the head and we the church are His body. So Christ and the church are one. Christ and you are one! You cannot say that God sees Christ the head perfect but His body imperfect. Or that Christ is accepted but His body not accepted. The measure of Jesus’ acceptance with God is the measure of your acceptance with God!
So it makes no sense to say that the head is well but the body sick, that the head is rich but the body in lack, or that the head is at rest but the body full of stress. My friend, what Jesus is before God, you His body are. As He is, so are you in this world (see 1 John 4:17)!
Today, God wants you to lay claim on Christ being your head. Start believing that all His perfections, and the delight and joy that He brings to the Father’s heart, He has set to your account. And you will begin to realize that as Jesus is a sweet-smelling aroma to the Father, so are you!
The more you begin to see that you are one with Christ, the more you will realize that whatever you need right now, He is dispensing to you. If you are sick in your body, Christ your head imparts His health and healing to you. If you lack wisdom, Christ your head freely imparts His wisdom to you. If you have any lack, Christ your head gives you His exceeding riches.
Beloved, have this rich revelation that Christ and you are one. You can never be separated from Christ your head from whom comes all the supply for your body—all the power, wisdom, provision and health. So declare, “As He is, so am I in this world!”

"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU" EDITOR'S NOTE

Knowledge is power, that's how the saying goes. Many believe that the more you know, the better off you are. But be clear, the knowledge of the things of this world are nonsense to God. The knowledge we need is the truth about Jesus. The more you know about what Jesus did for you, the better off you are. One of the very best truths about Jesus is that when He died for our sins, every one of our sins, past, present and future, they were paid in full. Now, in God's eyes we are innocent and blameless. All of our sins are gone, all hung on Christ's cross. There is a certain confidence that comes from being innocent. There's a certain innocence that comes from being blameless and there's a certain comfort knowing that Jesus, your savior will take care of you because He is the head of your life. Today, pray to God Almighty that you know fully what Jesus did and begin to feel the power and the confidence of being innocent.
