Do you know who you are? Do you realize the prototype man you are created from is Jesus not Adam? Do you realize that Christ in you is the hope of glory? Are you aware of how much power is locked up inside of you and is wanting to be released through you? Did you know that Luke 4:18 is you, the spirit of the sovereign Lord is in you, He has anointed you to preach good news, to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim freedom and the favorable year of the Lord? Do you know this is who you are?

I am reading my bible this morning and the Holy Spirit keeps nudging me with Acts 10:38 saying, this is who my people are called to be, what they are called to do. “Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He did wonderful things for others and divinely healed all who were under the tyranny of the devil, for God had anointed him.” We are anointed by God with great power.

What we have experienced, what we have not experienced, does not nullify, justify or verify the truth about who we are. We as the church are called to be Acts 10:38 people. We are anointed for the anointed one lives inside of us. We have great power in us. We are to do wonderful things, a variety of things for others. We have been given authority to heal the sick and set people free from the oppression of the devil (Mark 16).

Friends, Jesus is our prototype, we are created in His image, His Holy Spirit is inside of us, we have been given great power, authority and anointing. This is not something you can do in your own strength, this is the work of God through you. It is time for the church to believe we are who He says we are, so we can do what He said we can do. It’s time for golden glory!
