I would like us to "Connect our hearts to God's" in 2012 and know "God's Heart for " us by learning these ABC verses as we examine them in God's Word and perhaps some times by looking at Holley Gerth's precious heart in "God's Heart for You"A. MY IDENTITY IN CHRIST JESUS tells me...
I AMEphesians 1:6 (NKJV) "...to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved." (NIV) "...to the praise of His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One he loves." |
I noticed that many of the ABC verses (bigger version shared last Monday Manna) of Dr. Dan Cheatham were from Ephesians and for the many that are doing the Ephesians Study that Good Morning Girls (GMG) starts(ed) on Jan. 15th for this week, these verses will work great. Either way, both the Bible study and these verses of "Who I am in Him" are good medicine and blessings to your soul, if you put your heart in it and try.
Holley shares "Accepted" as number ONE in her 40 but she's not doing them alphabetically or in any specific order (I like hers because the verse starts with ACCEPT which helps as a cue):
[source: Heartlight Gallery]
Romans 15:7 Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. |
But you really need to read what Holley's writes as she shares from her heart on being "accepted". I can't share all of her book but she did here from her blog here.
Then in her HEART book, each of the 40 are set up for us to Reflect and Respond,
I'm adding: REPEAT over and over, either Bible verse until it sinks deep down within and you not only believe in God and His Word, His promises, but that you believe HIM and know you are ACCEPTED!

READ and REFLECT:
Read Romans 15:1-7 and Reflect. Complete this sentence: Being accepted means that I… How is conviction different from condemnation? |
RESPOND (this is Holley's)
| Lord, I’m so grateful You love and accept me just as I am. Sometimes that truth is hard to understand and embrace, so I pray You’ll help me learn to walk fully in it. I thank You for showing my heart… from "God's Heart For You" by Holley Gerth. |

Just in case that you needed more confirmations from God's Word in knowing that
YOU ARE ACCEPTED
I added the above verses that "Freedom in Christ Ministries" uses in many of the books on WHO I AM IN CHRIST... Neil T. Anderson has written many of these... cannot think of a better way to start 2012, then renewing our minds with these Truths!
Ohhh, I already gave up on the FIGHTER VERSES, on the second verse... too tough for me to get in my head... but it's still a great program to follow...
