Get real understanding from the Bible. It is more important to chew on --meditating on the word of God --chewing it, swallowing it, bringing it up and chewing some more.
It is chewing on the Word and digesting it and chewing it some more and more and more. When we talk about revelation versus hearing a verse.
Who do people say that I am -Jesus to Peter.
Jesus' next question was: who do you say that I am?
Peter without hesitation said you are the Christ the Son of the Living God.
Blessing comes when you have a revelation of Who Jesus is and who you are in Him. Flesh and blood hasn't revealed this to you but My Father in heaven revealed it to you.
You didn't just repeat what somebody else said. What matters is what you say about God. It does not matter what somebody says about you. Like yourself and love yourself in a healthy way.
You're not easily persuaded by the opinions of others. Many ways of applying a verse of scripture and one way of interpreting a verse of scripture.
1. My Father revealed that to you.
2. 2. You are Peter, a little rock and upon this Big Rock: The Revelation you have of Me, I will build my church.
The gates of hell can prevail against a church that is just about the building, or just feelings, about being popular, or intellectual. But it cannot prevail against the church that's build upon the revelation of Who Jesus is and who you are.
Once Peter declared from revelation of the Father.
Peter had a revelation of Who Jesus is and Jesus gives Peter a revelation of who Peter is.
Once you have a revelation of Who Jesus is and who you are, you cannot be stopped, you cannot be defeated. Corona cannot beat you, financial problems cannot beat you.
Acts 19 -- the seven sons of Sceva tried to cast out demons from a demon possessed man. They said, I adjure you in the name of Jesus that Paul preaches, come our of this man. The devil answered back, Jesus I know and Paul I know but who are you.. the description about them were sons of sceva not sons of God.. They ran of the house naked, they lost their house, they lost their clothes and they ran in fear for their lives .. the devil knew Jesus, Paul and Peter..
We are not running from the devil. you know who you are. You are the righteousness of God. You are a joint heir with Jesus. You are royalty.
Royalty destroys inferiority . You have been delivered from who you were in the flesh, into who you are in the spirit . Where you go, devils tremble.. The difference between a Christian who doesn't know who you are and the one who does is everything. The devil is afraid of Christians that love one another, that have authority and understand authority, that know the Scriptures and the power of God . The mentality of royalty, of your priesthood before God, of being the head and not the tail. When you understand who you are, you're gonna share the gospe with people
