1 John 3:2. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
The moment you received and believed in Jesus as the Christ, you were given the right to become a child of God (John 1:12).
Your identity changed from a child of the devil to a child of God (1 John 3:2). This transformation was not due to any human desire or effort, nor was it something you earned. You were born of God Himself (John 1:13).
God chose you before the creation of the world—before you did anything right or wrong! (Ephesians 1:4). Even before Adam and Eve broke the covenant with God and fell under the curse of Satan, sin, and hell, He had already planned your redemption.
God has known you from eternity past. He called your name while you were still in your mother’s womb (Isaiah 49:1).
Do not worry about anything! The Holy Spirit dwells within you (1 Corinthians 3:16), securing your position in Christ.
The eternal light of God has also been restored in you (Genesis 1:3, John 1:9). No more chaos, emptiness, or darkness in your life (Genesis 1:2).
You are now a child of light (John 12:36). God made you the light of the world (Matthew 5:14) so that you may live as a child of light (Ephesians 5:8).
Through Christ, you have been set free from the law of sin and death by the law of the Spirit of life (Romans 8:2). You no longer have to live in fear under the old law.
God has given you a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Do not rely on your emotions, but stand firm on the everlasting promises of God’s Word.
You also have the right to receive answers to your prayers. The name of Jesus guarantees it. He said, “Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete” (John 16:24).
God answers your prayers simply because you are His child. Like a loving father, He bends down to listen when you call upon Him (Psalm 116:2).
Now, you are no longer bound by Satan, sin, or hell. Eternal life is yours—no more condemnation. You have crossed over from death to life (John 5:24).
A permanent change took place in you when you believed in the One who died for you on the cross and rose from the dead. Through His one sacrifice, Christ has made you perfect forever (Hebrews 10:14).
You were once a child of the devil (John 8:44), and you lived under his power (Acts 10:38). But now, he has become your enemy (1 Peter 5:8).
The devil attacks you with flaming arrows, and his favorite weapon is causing you to doubt God’s Word.
Therefore, put on the full armor of God to stand firm in your spiritual battle against him. Above all, pray continuously in the Spirit, seeking strength from above (Ephesians 6:10-20).
Use your God-given authority to bind “the strong man” (Luke 10:19, Matthew 12:28-29). Do not be afraid, for no one can snatch you out of your Father’s hand (John 10:28-29).
Move God’s army of angels through prayer (2 Kings 6:17, Hebrews 1:14), and claim the victory already won by Jesus, your True King.
Since the day you believed in Jesus, “the Anointed One,” you have received an anointing from the Holy One and know the truth (1 John 2:20).
Just as Jesus was anointed as the True King, you have received the anointing of a spiritual king. Just as Jesus was anointed as the True Priest, you have the anointing of a spiritual priest. Just as Jesus was anointed as the True Prophet, you have the anointing of a spiritual prophet. You are part of the royal priesthood, called to declare the goodness of God (1 Peter 2:9).
With the anointing of a spiritual king, demolish the strongholds of Satan and set the captives free, in the name of Jesus, your True King.
With the anointing of a priest, break the forces of disaster and calamity that have come upon people through sin, in the name of Jesus, your True Priest.
With the anointing of a prophet, proclaim the goodness of God to those trapped in darkness and bring them into His marvelous light, in the name of Jesus, your True Prophet.
Prayer. Father, through the faith You have given me, I believe that Jesus is the Christ. By believing, I have life in His name. Help me to fully enjoy every spiritual blessing You have given me and to proclaim the only true gospel to all nations. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
