If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;The most important thing we have to know when we pray is who we are in Christ. And we know that by meditating on the Word of God.
the old has gone, the new has come!
(2 Cor. 5:17)
Think about how Jesus came to see Himself as the Savior. He was the Son of God, but He was human too, just like we are. He came to earth as a baby who had to be taught to walk and talk. He also had to be taught the things of God, just like you and I do.
Jesus had to study God's Word to see what the prophets of old had said about Him. We know He studied even as a child because in Luke 2:47, at age twelve, Jesus was found teaching the elders in the temple. Everyone was astonished at His understanding. Jesus saw who He was when He meditated on the Scriptures, and this is exactly how we will see who we are in Him! You're not a weak sinner saved by grace. You are the temple of the living God. As such, take your place in Christ and walk in the authority that is yours.
Find one verse, such as the text verse, that tells you who you are in Christ. Throughout the day today, see yourself in light of that verse and take your place in Him.
