Today's Confession: “I am special to God. He has hand-picked me. He hears my prayers. God will see me through!”

Ephesians 1:4 says, “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in the love.”

The Amplified Bible says it this way: “Even as (in His love) He chose us (actually picked us out for Himself as His own) in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.”

The Apostle Paul used the world “elect”. We are the elect of God. Do you know what that means? It means “hand-picked by God.” God hand-picked each and everyone one of us!

When you fully understand what Paul is saying, then it causes you to walk in your true identity. You begin to think, “Why wouldn’t God bless me? Why wouldn’t God heal me? Why wouldn’t God give me victory? I’m chosen by God. I’m hand-picked by God. I’ve been set apart by God!” That should make you feel special and have great confidence that God is going to see you through, no matter what you might be facing.

The Bible says in Psalms 34:15 that: “The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.” The Bible also states that: “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16).

You are a righteous man or woman of God, and He hears your prayers. God’s eyes are over you and His ears are open to your prayers. When you pray, heaven stands at attention. When you pray, God says, “That is one of Mine. They are the righteousness of God. Let’s answer their prayer!”

I want to tell you today that when you know who you are in Christ, Satan will flee from you! Satan is a worthy opponent, but he is a defeated foe. Jesus has already beaten him. He has already stripped him of his power. He cannot defeat you any longer.
