Day 30: What’s wrong with Me

LET’S CHANGE IT TODAY

1. Understand the gift of righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He who knew NO sin, was made to be sin FOR US, that we would be MADE the righteousness of God.” This is the greatest EXCHANGE in human history! Jesus took our sinfulness and imparted to us His righteousness–which means we are RIGHT in God’s eyes, not wrong.

2. Awake to righteousness. 1 Corinthians 15:34 (AMP) says, “Awaken to righteousness; and you will not sin.” When God thinks of you, He thinks of a victorious, conquering, strong, powerful, wise, and holy son or daughter. He sees you as a mighty champion—the head and not the tail. Righteousness means: to stand in His presence without a sense of guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation.

3. Reject sin-consciousness. When you are always conscious of what’s wrong, you will DO wrong. When you are always conscious of BEING the righteousness of God—you will DO right. You’ll act on the outside how you see yourself on the inside.

Right Thinking Leads to Right Speaking4. Ask the Holy Spirit to do what He does best. 1 Corinthians 2:12 says, “…We have received the Spirit of God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.” A key ministry of the Holy Spirit is to REVEAL what is already yours (NOT TO REVEAL TO YOU ALL THAT IS WRONG IN YOUR LIFE).

5. Dwell on what’s right rather than what’s wrong. Go through the Scripture regarding who you are in Christ, what is yours in Christ, and what you can do in Christ. It’s staggering. Flood your mind with this new way of thinking.

THINK IT AND SAY IT

I am the righteousness of God, through the blood of Jesus. I stand in the presence of God without guilt, shame, inferiority, or condemnation. I awake to righteousness and believe it will lead me to a victorious life. I am a joint heir with Jesus. When God looks at me, He sees His blood. He thinks of me as a conquering, powerful, and holy son or daughter. I will not think of myself as anything less or more than what God thinks of me in Jesus’ Name!
