I AM BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE GOD SAYS I AM!
Janis Smith
"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs -
heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ."
Romans 8:16-17b
“But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord,
are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory,
just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”
2 Corinthians 3:18
I am beautiful because God says I am! This powerful true statement says it all doesn’t it? You are beautiful because God says you are. “PERIOD.” When you walk in that kind of word, there is nothing, no nothing that will change your mind or sway your thinking otherwise. You are Beautiful because GOD SAYS YOU ARE!
At times our thinking is turned upside down and inside out as the Holy Spirit continues to line up our thinking to the Thoughts of God. He wants us to see ourselves through His Eyes, Through His Perspective.“Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.” Psalm 40:5 God formed us and breathed life into our tiny little bodies. He designed us to be beautiful reflections of Himself and from our reflection He would receive the Glory.
From the time we are born, the world and people around us begin to either encourage or destroy who we are and everything in between. The one thing that is stable and sure is the WORD OF GOD. The Bible is Truth spoken by Almighty God Who is the ALPHA AND OMEGA, The Beginning and The End. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus said, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
It is when we read His Word, Listen to His Voice, embrace and believe God is Who He says He is and we are who He says we are that we become who He says we are! LISTENING, MEDITATING ON HIS WORD, EMBRACING AND BELIEVING ARE THE KEYS.
As born again believers we have a special privilege given by God Almighty. The Holy Spirit Illuminates His Word in a very personal way as we read it! Rhema Words suddenly pop up on the page as if they are highlighted…and they are…they are highlighted by the Holy Spirit. When you were a sinner through the reading of the Word and the Illumination of the Holy Spirit your sinful nature was revealed. This was what drew you to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. It was at that moment the two of you began a living breathing relationship. It was at that very moment that the Word of God became ALIVE! IT BECAME THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY! James 1:25 You were given a new perspective on life. Beginning your journey into His heart. Learning to “Live and Move and Have Your Being In Him.” Acts 17:28 At that precise moment, the Word of God became a mirror. Reflecting in your spirit the Words GOD SPOKE ABOUT YOU BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD. SO YOU COULD BECOME WHAT IT SAID! As HE IS, SO ARE WE because HIS DIVINE NATURE IS WITHIN US!
We no longer have to try to train the flesh because we cannot! That flesh is dead and gone. It no longer exists unless we go back and pull it out of the grave. We are a NEW CREATION CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS!!!!! We are the TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! Because of this revelation of change, the DIVINE NATURE OF GOD is what HE SEES WHEN HE LOOKS AT US!!!! We are SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES! Let the “LAW” become your friend. Look in it to see the reflection of who God sees you to be! Simply Believe who God says you are!
Here are just a few of the reflective things God says about you! Decree them daily and allow the Holy Spirit to empower you to become who He says you are:
I am Loved with AN EVERLASTING LOVE
“The LORD has appeared of old to me, saying:“
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.”
Jeremiah 31:3
I am the Temple of the Holy Spirit
“Do you not know that you are the temple of God
and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
I Corinthians 3:16
“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit
who is in you, whom you have from God,
and you are not your own?”
I Corinthians 6:19
I have been given the Keys to the Kingdom to open doors to my future
“And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,
and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 18:19
God has given me AUTHORITY AND DOMINION over the enemy
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true,
“He who has the key of David,
He who opens and no one shuts,
and shuts and no one opens”:
“I know your works.
See, I have set before you an open door,
and no one can shut it;
for you have a little strength, have kept My word,
and have not denied My name.”
Revelation 3:6-8
I am SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS
“But God, who is rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and raised us up together,
and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come
He might show the exceeding riches of His grace
in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:4-7
I AM SUPERNATURAL
Then God said,
“Let Us make man in Our image,
according to Our likeness;
let them have dominion over the fish of the sea,
over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
over all the earth
and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:21
I am BLESSED
“Now it shall come to pass,
if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God,
to observe carefully all His commandments
which I command you today,
that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come upon you
and overtake you,
because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:
“Blessed shall you be in the city,
and blessed shall you be in the country.
“Blessed shall be the fruit of your body,
the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds,
the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.
“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
“Blessed shall you be when you come in,
and blessed shall you be when you go out.
“The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you
to be defeated before your face;
they shall come out against you one way
and flee before you seven ways.
“The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses
and in all to which you set your hand,
and He will bless you in the land
which the LORD your God is giving you.
“The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself,
just as He has sworn to you,
if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God
and walk in His ways.
Then all peoples of the earth shall see
that you are called by the name of the LORD,
and they shall be afraid of you.
And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods,
in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock,
and in the produce of your ground,
in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
The LORD will open to you His good treasure,
the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season,
and to bless all the work of your hand.
You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail;
you shall be above only, and not be beneath,
if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God,
which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
So you shall not turn aside from any of the words
which I command you this day,
to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.”
Deuteronomy 28:1-14
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing

to them He gave the right to become children of God,
to those who believe in His name”
John 1:12
“ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God.”
I John 3:1
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God.
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of adoption
by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit
that we are children of God, and if children,
then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him,
that we may also be glorified together.”

I am BEAUTIFUL, WONDROUSLY MADE

But the night shines as the day;
The darkness and the light are both alike to You.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.”
Psalm 139:12-14

having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way which He consecrated for us,
through the veil, that is, His flesh,
and having a High Priest over the house of God,
let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience
and our bodies washed with pure water.”

And the ruler over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loved us,
And washed us from our sins in His own blood,
And has made us kings and priests to His God and Father,
To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."

GOD CREATED ME WITH A PLAN AND A PURPOSE

says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me,
and I will listen to you.
And you will seek Me and find Me,
when you search for Me with all your heart.”
