I AM the righteousness of God in Christ

Hi everyone,

  The home school convention was just awesome and, hopefully, sometime this week I'll have time to post about it with pictures.  However, seeing as I have a client coming here soon, and 3 others today, I will leave you with Pastor Princes' devotional for today.  Ever so slowly I am starting to see the person that I am in Christ.  I don't have to DO anything, but get out of the way, and my life WILL be the life that I have always dreamed of being--abundant and rich!

Praying that you'll be as blessed as I was by today's devotional.  If so, you'll want to sign up to receive Pastor Prince's FREE email to keep you revelling in the richness of God's love.  Here's the link to sign up: grace.inspirations@josephprince.org>

Happy today,

Dawn

Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God

Romans 10:6 6... the righteousness of faith speaks...

Every time you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”, God the Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become righteous. Also, by making you righteous, God is showing Himself righteous — “to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus”. (Romans 3:26) Each time Jesus hears you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ,” it brings much pleasure to His heart too, because you are laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you. The Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (John 16:10), also rejoices when you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” He is pleased when you flow with Him. The delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you declare, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” The Bible tells us that when you “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness… all these things shall be added to you”. (Matthew 6:33) Whether it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, “all these things” will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness. You don’t need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just need to use your faith for one thing — to believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you seek to come after you and overtake you!
