1 John 4:17 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.

1 Corinthians 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Your deep consciousness of your oneness with Christ will cause you to be victorious and unstoppable as a child of God. God the Father loves you the same way He loves Christ and He has sent you into the world the same way He sent Christ because He has made you just like Christ. Right now the Holy Spirit is opening your eyes and heart more to this truth. God Himself is testifying by His Spirit that the same life that is in Jesus is in you, 1 John 5:9-11. He wants us to believe His testimony about us more than any other testimony about us more than any other testimony about us or even our experiences. We are new creatures. This world does not really know who we are, because it does not really know who Jesus is, 1 John 3:1. The Bible says that just as we bore the image of the earthly man (Adam), we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly Man (Jesus), 1 Cor. 15:49.

In the same way Jesus was bold enough to declare that He and the Father are one, you and I must also be bold enough to declare that we and Christ are one. We must meditate on these truths until they take a hold of us and transform our entire being. Do not be conformed or live in the mold of this world, but continue to be transformed more and more into the image and fullness of Christ by continually renewing your mind with the revelation of Christ, Col. 3:16. Allow your consciousness of your oneness with Christ to change the way you see and carry yourself and the way you behave and relate with God. You will see yourself like Christ and relate with God just as Christ does. You can have and do whatever Christ can have and do.

Faith Declaration:

Because I am one with Christ, His reality is my reality. I can have and do whatever Christ can have and do.
