No Labels for You

Let’s talk about labels! All kinds of things have labels…designer clothes, cans in the supermarket, even tennis shoes and handbags and that’s just to name a few. The one thing that should never have a label is people! The world loves to stick “labels” on us according to how it judges our “condition”: stupid, failure, defeated, broke, crazy, disorganized and the list goes on and on. Do you know that labels are lies that the enemy sends your way to bring you down and keep you down. But God doesn’t look at us that way! He sees what we CAN be not what we are or what we were. Thank Heaven for that!! Remember Gideon? He was hiding from the Midianites in the bottom of a winepress and God called him O Mighty Man of Valor. Nobody would have called him mighty. He was a coward! But then, that’s a label and God doesn’t like labels. God will always call you by your POSITION and your position is Son or Daughter of the Most High God…Child of the King…and in that “position”, you are joint heirs with Jesus. You, my friend, are living in a kingdom with kingdom rights and privileges at your fingertips. He says “ask and it shall be given”. How does it feel to be royalty? From today forward, don’t accept the labels people put on you. Recognize the lie. Speak truth over yourself. It goes something like this. “I am not defeated. God says I can do all things through Him. He says I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony”. You’re somebody special according to the King. You better believe it! And then walk and talk like it!
