My dog, Dixie, already has the authority to herd sheep; she is in the process of learning her power. In the video, you see her hesitate or doubt herself. When she gets in tune with her identity and authority, she won’t hesitate as much. I identify with this, so I keep refocusing my thoughts to receive God’s gift as real every day.
I start with understanding how God is pleased with me. His utmost desire is to bless me, not curse me. God is pleased with Jesus before he even began his public ministry. Since God is pleased with Jesus, this is transferred to me via His promises. My continual work is to believe, to acknowledge righteousness is not generated from self-effort, but from the Father granting HIS real promises to me upon my daily focus/belief.
When hanging on the cross Jesus declared forgiveness towards his killers, for they know not what they are doing. This forgiveness is already given; it is I who needs more understanding on power of His forgiveness. Jesus forgives the sins of that man lowered by his friends through the roof, and I’m noticing forgiveness came first.
My faith admits I’m incapable of obtaining anything unless I believe in Him and imitate Him. Father, Holy Spirit, and Jesus act in concert to bless us through their promises. Abraham believed in the promise and obtained it. That is the key.
