Know who you are and what you have in Jesus

"That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus." (Philemon 1:6 KJV)

Have you given much thought about the many good things from Christ Jesus which are in you according to the Bible? Well, you have an amazing amount of powerful resources at your disposal. If you don't know what they are and if you aren't using them, you are really missing out!

The knowledge of what you have in Jesus is powerful

"Acknowledging every good thing which is in you in Jesus" is a very powerful exercise to do, and it has the power to make "the communication of your faith effectual!" Just think about what you have as a Christian! If you have received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, your list will begin with Jesus, Himself, (Christ in you - Col. 1:27). Then, you have the Holy Spirit - (Spirit-filled - John 14:16). And then there is the Spiritual fruit which He produces in your life (the fruit of the Spirit - Gal. 5:22-23). And, of course, there are His many gifts that He gives to believers - (Spiritual gifts - Rom. 12 & 1 Cor. 12). And, don't forget the Word of God itself, that you have hidden in your heart - (Psalm 119:11).

The devil is a liar so dont listen to him!

The devil deceives God's people by telling them they are helpless and powerless! Nothing could be further from the truth! "His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to His own glory and excellence." (2 Peter 1:3 ESV). Do a personal survey to discover who you are in Jesus and what you have according to what He says you have! That knowledge is empowering!
