” 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
Prov 23:7 says, ” As he thinketh in his heart, so is he”. That means the things you acknowledge about you are the things you can express. You are not going to live out your best by thinking negatively about yourself. Until you begin to see what God has made you and walk in the consciousness of it, you will not live out your best. You are to acknowledge that there is eternal life at work in you, and you are to acknowledge that divine health is at work in you, acknowledging that the life in you is indestructible. Until you do that, your faith will not be effective. Instead of knowing all the bad things people say about you, get to know and acknowledge the good things in you in Christ Jesus.
Don’t believe you are hot tempered like your grandfather. You are born again with the life of Christ in you now. Instead , the wisdom and beauty of God are now in you. You are to see that you have righteousness, love, patience, and glory inside you. Instead of thinking you have asthma, begin to think you have the disease destroying life. See yourself the way God sees you. You may be looking weak and defeated but acknowledge the truth about you, and the truth is not what society or circumstances say but what God says. You may have been labeled a failure but define yourself according to the word. You are what God says you are. Don’t acknowledge defeat and anything that’s inconsistent with God’s provision for you.
There is more than intestines and kidneys inside you. The life of God is resident in you, but until you acknowledge it, confess it, and walk in the consciousness of it, it will not work. Faith is operative through your acknowledgment of spiritual realities.
