POSITIVE SELF TALK (2)

                 It is not enough for us to study the bible everyday in search of God's promises for our lives.

We must understand that there is a big gap between what the Bible says about us and what we feel about ourselves!"so,just like the car that has been loaded with enough fuel and horsepower to go anywhere it wants to go, we have potentials in us that won't be released until we hold the keys in our hands.Not just holding the keys but to turn it in ignition by using our mouths to profess our identities in Christ Jesus.We must pay a very close attention to the word acknowledege in that verse. This word is from the Greek word epignosis, which describes a well-instructed, intensive, deep knowledge of the facts.

  But how do we obtain such knowledge of the facts? No one becomes this knowledgeable acci­dentally.
For example, consider this blog you are reading. The information contained here didn't come  while sleeping. It is the result of many years of study and very hard work. It is conscious effort of reading widely and gathering information from various sources that has brought this piece together.Now Paul uses this same idea when he says we are to "acknowledge" every good thing that has been placed in us by Christ Jesus. Of course, this means we are to confess the truth about ourselves - but before we can confess the truth, we must first know the truth!

      A key in the ignition switch does no good unless it is turned. Likewise, the truth in your life does no good until it is spoken! The moment you open your mouth and start confessing the good things that are in you by Jesus Christ, a supernatural connection is made between your faith and all that Jesus has deposited inside you. At that moment, the gifts and treasures God has placed inside you become supernaturally activated. The confession of your mouth - your acknowledgement of the truth - is what sparks these spiritual blessings and causes them to become operative, activated, and manifested realities.
Sadly, many people who know the truth remain in bondage because they never align their mouths with the truth. Instead of speaking what God says about them, they ridicule themselves, put themselves down, and speak badly of themselves. They possess all the potential that God has placed inside them, but they never experience that potential because their mouths have never sparked and activated those spiritual blessings into becoming manifested realities.
      
       To make these truths real in your life, you have to put the key in the ignition switch.
