    Before when I'd look in the mirror I'd see a scared little boy.
    But now I see a lion and courage is reflected,
    I've got new ways of thinking and a different perspective.
    Thank you Lord.

      God sees us as wretched sinners deserving of hell.
      “All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."
      Romans 3:12.”
      That’s why we all need Jesus to save us.

    If you guys would please keep me in your prayers. At the end of June, I was told by my boss that my job of the last 3 years was ended and I had 1 month left with the company. I honestly thought I would retire from this place. Since then I have struggled with depression and anxiety. 2 things that ive never had that big of an issue with. I sometimes force myself to go out so that I can show myself I'm strong though I don't feel like it. I and up anxious the whole time and just want to go back home. Luckily my husband has a great job and I've been getting unemployment. I accepted a new job which starts soon. I've just been struggling mentally and emotionally. I just need all the prayers so can get. Thank you so much.

    The way you see yourself is so important that it can actually create a reality that is contradictory to your true identity.
    Why would you choose to see yourself through the eyes of your enemy?
    Why would you give your enemy a mirror to show you who you are?
    If whats in front of us that God has called us to fight is that big, i wonder what's within us that God put there to cause us to triumph?
    If God gave me a challenge this great,
    If God gave me a mountain this big,
    If God gave me this situation to overcome,
    i wonder what God knows about me that i don't know about me but my Maker is my Mirror.

    Pastor Furtick said a powerful and greater, yet better understanding when he said, until you see yourself as “made” in the image of God...meaning I am as Jesus was and still saying My Father has sent me and it is His Words that I speak, and not of mine own. I and the Father are One!!! As Christ Jesus is to God, so am I! I’m joint-heir to the throne! I am a child of God, so should I have the DNA of my biological father and it’s strong in genes, then how much powerful and awesome I am in Christ with these 🧬 genes?!?!?! The earth is the Lord and it’s my inheritance too. Walk the length and the depths of it because I can! Seed of Abraham!!!! Oh this Word is food this morning!!!!

    This preaching is so powerful that will give strength to listener who may feeling powerless. But I also wonder, do we as a listener, understand that we need to live a life like Christ? Do we recognize our mistake or sin and ask God forgiveness and repent and obey God? If so, then praise the Lord for this preaching, but if we are not transforming into Christlikeness after hearing and hearing God’s word then we are living false Christianity. Examine ourselves if it is mirroring the gospel as we continue to listen and study His word.

    We are the harshest critics when it comes to ourselves. We are his imagine, and should feel as such. Dont ever let your peers define who you are. We often forget that in this, peer acceptance world. Surround yourself with God and love, he will do the rest. Spread his love and he will multiply what you give out.

    This message is the best I have been opportune to hear this year. I have come to understand that seeing or knowing how others define of me is the biggest distraction that is trying to recreate me into who I was not created to be. It is an attempt to limit who I am.
