You Are Because I AM

Little children (believers, dear ones), you are of God and you belong to Him and have [already] overcome them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is in you is greater than he (Satan) who is in the world [of sinful mankind]. I John 4:4 (Amplified Bible, AMP)

God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” Exodus 3:14 (Amplified Bible, AMP)

The devil works overtime to convince us all of what we are not. He says we are not smart enough, not rich enough, not talented enough, not pretty enough, not young enough, not old enough, not strong enough. He lies to us, and says we aren’t important, aren’t valuable, aren’t loved, aren’t needed, aren’t called. He uses people, situations, and thoughts to try to convince us that we are losers and not worthy of anything good. The devil is the king of the inferiority complex because he is inferior to God- and to born-again mankind- so he tries to project that inferiority onto us.

But, God has another message He is sending to us- and He is saying it all the time:

“You are mine. You are blessed. You are more than enough for the situation at hand. You are my child, my masterpiece, my treasure. I have made you to be higher than any other thing I have made. You are the crowning jewel of my creation. You are valued and cherished by Me. You are fearfully and wonderfully made because you are handcrafted by Me. You are unique and individual because I made you one of a kind. You are beautiful, and you are loved with an everlasting love.”

“You have more than enough talents and ability. You have more than enough intelligence, insight and wisdom because I have given it to you. You have the strength to pursue and overtake the enemy and to recover all that has been stolen. You are full of My power and authority. No one can stand against you as you stand in my Name. You are the victor, the winner, because I am the ultimate Victor. You are respected and honored in my sight and therefore, men and women cannot help but admire you and see the gifts I have placed in you. Take your place and shine for Me. You belong, and you are ordained for the place to which I have called you. You are an important, integral part of my plan for this world. You are all that I have called you to be because I am in you and I Am that I AM, the Creator and Master of the Universe.”

“Do not believe the lies of the ultimate loser. Instead, believe My voice. Receive My love. Receive My power. Walk in all that I AM. You are mine. IAM Yours. You are all that I have declared you to be because I AM.”
