Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. - Romans 8:37 The Bible calls us kings and priests (Rev. 1:6) and world overcomers (1 John 5:4). For many of us, those phrases are still becoming real. Were still learning who we really are. If youll look in 1 Chronicles, chapter 14, youll see that David had a similar problem. Hed been anointed king by the prophet Samuel when he was just a teenager. Hed known for years that someday hed rule over Israel. Yet somehow, it hadnt really sunk in. But look what happens in verse 2: And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. Finally, it dawned on him! David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king. I can just imagine David saying to himself, Im king. Im actually king! I AM KING! At that moment, being king ce ased to be something David had only thought about. It became something he really was. He could see himself king. What does that have to do with you and me? Much like David, you and I have been given a royal office. But its not until we believe it that we can exercise the power or authority that goes with that office. If youre sick, you can yell, By His stripes Im healed, 50 times a day. You can hope for healing. You can try to believe for healing till your hair turns gray. But if you dont really perceive yourself as whole and healthy in Christ Jesus, if you dont see yourself as the healed instead of the sick, you wont get any supernatural help. Yet once that realization hits you that you are, in fact, the healed, no one--not even the devil himself--will be able to keep you from getting well. Step over the lin e from trying to believe to actually knowing by dwelling on the Word of God. Read it and think about it. Practice seeing yourself through the eyes of the Word until the reality of your royalty in Christ rises up in you!
