TRUTH #20
Truth #20- Your personality contains a lot of good qualities but it also contain your vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Your heavenly persona (how God sees you) involves NO negatives and cannot hold any frailties because none exist in heaven.
TRUTH #21-
Truth #21- If we choose to see ourselves as fat, lazy, as procrastinators, as chronically late, as underachievers, while these things may be TRUE, that is how we will respond to life as we live it and also how others will respond to US as they live life with us. Proverbs says "as a man thinks in his heart, so he is."

TRUTH #23
Truth #23-
How foolish it would be if you were moved up to first class on an airplane but you choose to stay in economy. You're thinking that economy is all you have ever known. Your friends are all in economy. You don't want to be thought of as favored or privileged. Maybe you feel you don't deserve it. Maybe you do not feel worthy. COME ON! Take the upgrade!!!! It's free. Walk your sorry self up there and take advantage of the favor extended to you.
Now apply this spiritual principle to your life.....

TRUTH #24-
Truth #24- Graham Cooke says, "The worst thing about you, your deepest flaw is irrelevant in heaven. Once the Holy Spirit speaks to you about your persona-your job is to shift your filter/your lens/how you see yourself from that negative to the truth the Holy Spirit reveals. The negative side of your personality is being killed by the Holy Spirit. Having it come to light is great. Deal with it and move on. LET the Holy Spirit kill your personality, allowing your heavenly persona to grow and thrive and breathe."- Persona of Heaven

TRUTH #25
TRUTH #25-
How you see yourself is everything. You can believe what the world says about you which contains some truth, but as Graham Cooke says, there is a BIGGER truth here that we must believe. (see the 119 things God says about you).
While it may be true that you are an enormously fearful person, the BIGGER truth is that God hasn't given you a spirit of fear, but of power-love-and a sound mind.
It may be true that you are lonely and desire a mate, but the BIGGER truth is that God says you are complete in Him.

TRUTH #26
Truth #26
Do you need an answer to a problem or difficult situation? You may need to commit yourself to some genuine times of worship and humility before God. Spend time revering God. Putting yourself in a place of submission to Him brings results!

TRUTH #27
Truth #27- A mighty warrior knows how to abide.
What does this word- abide- mean? It literally means to camp, to tent, to dwell.
Through worship, we practice remaining or abiding in His presence for longer and longer periods of time. This is how we practice being mighty warriors. Worship (abiding/camping out with Him/living in His presence) precedes and prepares us for battle.

TRUTH #28
Truth #28-Mighty Warriors in the Bible rarely stand alone. David has his mighty men. Moses had Aaron and Miriam. Jesus had His disciples. Paul had Silas and Barnabas. Gideon had his 300.
Who do you trust to pray with you, to pour yourself into, and to help you along the way?
Mighty warriors rarely stand alone.

TRUTH-#29
Truth #29- Is there anything that remains an idol in your life? Is there anything that is gilded in gold and set up in your heart or mind that you literally or figuratively bow down to and that takes the place of God in your life? It can be food, money, education, your job, dreams of the future, your children, a man, a woman- it is anything that takes the place of God in your life.
Being a mighty warrior might take work, you know. You mighty have to commit to something or someone or take a stand that might be unpopular.
Mighty warriors are idol smashers.

TRUTH- # 30
Truth #30-
If you believe the lies of the world, the lies of the flesh (it'll be too hard, it'll be uncomfortable, it'll be too much work), the lies of the devil who says in your ear, "Just who do you think you are anyway???"....If you chose to believe those things, then you are compromising and bowing down to the lie. The lie has become an idol in your life that you are allowing to take the place of God's authority in your life. Anytime you chose to live according to your personality/your frailty/the lies, you are bowing down to something other than God and what He has already said about you.

TRUTH-#31
You are not bound by the lies of the enemy.
God is your deliverer.
In Him and in His Word alone, will you find the strength to snap the chains and shackles that make you THINK you are bound and weak.

Identity Crisis
"God doesn't care about your personality issues or about your old worn out excuses for not believing that you are a mighty warrior. He understands that you feel shy, timid, fearful, ashamed, easily offended, or have a quick temper. Those negative issues simply show you where you need more of Him."-Marjie McWilliams, Day 8, "You Are A Mighty Warrior- a 31 Day Study.

HEY YOU!
Yeah you.....You Are Complete in Christ.
What if this were true? How could this potentially change your life?
Are you living your life assuming that you are 50% complete in Christ and 50%
complete in what you make your life to be?
Think this one over for a moment. There are no strings attached. You are
complete right now....nothing broken and nothing missing.
