For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself (John 5:26).

 

Nobody ever talked like Jesus. He spoke the most profound and sublime words ever, with such confidence and audacity that beats the natural mind. Think about what we just read! In John 6:38 He said: "For I came down from heaven…." He was unapologetic about His identity and origin, and that’s how we ought to be.

 

1 John 4:17 says, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” This is how you must think, talk, and live. Be conscious of your divine heritage and identity. 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children….” That means you hail from God.

 

So, like the Lord Jesus, boldly affirm who you are. In John 8:12, He said, "...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." Confidently declare the same truth about yourself because He also said in Matthew 5:14 AMPC, "You are the light of the world...." Be conscious of who you are in Christ; be bold to call yourself what God has called you.

 

Let your consciousness of your divinity control everything about your life. You can live as successfully as Jesus did by following His example and the principles by which He lived. Become conscious of the God-life in you and boldly speak accordingly.
