I Am . . . Accepted!

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

Hello Ambassadors . . .

Sweet, sweet greetings to Beautiful You in the Amazingly Amazing Name of our Darling Lord & Savior!

I am so excited about the Word of God. Why? Because the Word of God is spirit and it is life! And I have made the decision that I will on purpose choose to believe the Word of the Living God above all other words. Above all other words!

How about you?

Can you dare to believe the Word when it comes to incredibly incredible you?

And if not, it’s time to believe. It’s time to make the decision to only be moved by what God Himself has to say about you or your situation, and not be moved by the opinions of men, or by the natural and obvious “evidence” of your circumstance or situation.

Let’s believe our God! Let’s believe above all else, the Word of the Living God! Oh, let’s believe indeed! For He’s the only One Qualified to tell us who we are and why we are!

So, from here on I will be posting truths that I want you to personalize for yourself. They will all begin with two very small yet potent words: “I Am”. They are prophetic proclamations or divine declarations right from the Word of God, and each one will comfort, edify and exhort phenomenal you.

Our word for today is found in Ephesians 1:6, which states: “To the praise of the glory of His grace wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

Oh, my Beautiful Sister, what an amazing, astounding, magnanimous truth: God has already accepted us in the Beloved. It does not matter who has rejected us. God Himself has accepted us.

We are accepted in the beloved!

Do you have any idea what that means?!

It means, my Precious Sister, that it doesn’t matter how many or how often people may reject you, even if the number is ten thousand times ten thousand and a thousands times more, nothing and no one can change the way our Beautiful God feels about us. He proved His endless love for us by sending Jesus to die for us while we were yet sinners. Almighty God saw our immeasurable worth and paid the price for us.

Jesus was willing to pay that with His Blood and with His very Life because He wanted us.

Jesus kept His eyes in the future: For the joy that was set before Him, He endured the cross.

We were the joy that was set before Him. Oh, my sweet, sweet Sister, you were the joy that was set before Him. You are His beloved!

And Jesus unashamedly demonstrated that you were worth the price He paid.

Why don’t you say that for yourself? “I am worth the price Jesus paid for me!”

Oh, say that again, my Sister: “I am worth the price Jesus paid for me!”
Oh, my Father’s Darling Daughter, you are worth the price, indeed!

Again I say, what an amazing, astounding, magnanious truth: God loves us completely and has accepted us as His very own, and we are worth the price, indeed, that Jesus paid for us!

Now, settle it for yourself, just as your Father and my Father has settled it for Himself: You belong to God and He belongs to you. You are loved unconditionally, outrageously and so eternally, and there is absolutely nothing that enemy of your soul or anyone else can do about it. So don’t embrace his lies or the lies of anybody else for that matter. You are who your Father declared you to be: Accepted in the beloved!

Now please review a very special video just for Phenomenal You. Just click link below and you will most assuredly be edfied, comforted and exhorted:

Boldly hold your head up high, and never ever bend to the negative words of anyone. Never, ever bend again. You hold your head up high because your Lord held Himself up on the cross for wonderful, significant you! Don’t you dare allow anyone to make you think less of who you are!

You are not your yester-pain or your yester-shame.

You are a Divinely Framed Woman of God who is royally and eternally . . . accepted in the beloved! And you are worth the price Jesus paid for you!

Blessings,
Rev. Ora ~

“I ask that each day our Father will give you a vision of who you are . . . and of the greatness that is encased in the frailty of your body.
