THAT’S NOT ME 8-30-26 VIDEO
This is a message to remind us of the reality of how God sees us. How He has created us to be. The real us. Sometimes we get a wrong image about ourselves and then we act accordingly. But remember you are more than your actions. You are more than your behavior or misbehavior. You are a Spirit being and the real you needs to be made manifest. Things you have done in your past that were not from God that was not you not the real you.
NABUCHADNEZZER
DAN 4:32 You will be driven out of human company and live with the wild animals. You will eat grass like an ox. The sentence is for seven seasons, enough time to learn that the High God rules human kingdoms and puts whomever he wishes in charge.”
33 It happened at once. Nebuchadnezzar was driven out of human company, ate grass like an ox, and was soaked in heaven’s dew. His hair grew like the feathers of an eagle and his nails like the claws of a hawk.
34 “At the end of the seven years, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked to heaven. I was given my mind back and I blessed the High God, thanking and glorifying God, who lives forever. “His sovereign rule lasts and lasts, his kingdom never declines and falls.
35 Life on this earth doesn’t add up to much, but God’s heavenly army keeps everything going. No one can interrupt his work, no one can call his rule into question.
36 “At the same time that I was given back my mind, I was also given back my majesty and splendor, making my kingdom shine. All the leaders and important people came looking for me. I was reestablished as king in my kingdom and became greater than ever. MSG
PRODIGAL SON
LUKE 15:15 He signed on with a citizen there who assigned him to his fields to slop the pigs.
16 He was so hungry he would have eaten the corncobs in the pig slop, but no one would give him any.
17 “That brought him to his senses. He said, ‘All those farmhands working for my father sit down to three meals a day, and here I am starving to death.
18 I’m going back to my father. I’ll say to him, Father, I’ve sinned against God, I’ve sinned before you;
19 I don’t deserve to be called your son. Take me on as a hired hand.’
20 He got right up and went home to his father. When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him.
21 The son started his speech: ‘Father, I’ve sinned against God, I’ve sinned before you; I don’t deserve to be called your son ever again.’
22 “But the father wasn’t listening. He was calling to the servants, ‘Quick. Bring a clean set of clothes and dress him. Put the family ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. MSG
PETER LUKE 22:56 And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, “This man was with Him too.”
57 But Peter denied it, saying, “Woman, I do not know Him!”
58 A little later someone else saw him and said, “You are one of them too.” But Peter said, “Man, I am not!”
59 After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, “This man was with Him, for he is a Galilean too.”
60 But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you are talking about.” Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed. AMP
ACTS 2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be explained to you; listen closely and pay attention to what I have to say.
15 These people are not drunk, as you assume, since it is [only] the third hour of the day (9:00 a.m.);
16 but this is [the beginning of] what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: AMP
ACTS 4:8 Then Peter, filled with [the power of] the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people [members of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish High Court. AMP
MOSES ACTS 7:27 The one who had started the fight said, ‘Who put you in charge of us?
28 Are you going to kill me like you killed that Egyptian yesterday?’
29 When Moses heard that, realizing that the word was out, he ran for his life and lived in exile over in Midian. During the years of exile, two sons were born to him.
30 “Forty years later, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, an angel appeared to him in the guise of flames of a burning bush. MSG
EX 14:13 Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch God do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again.
14 God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!”
15 God said to Moses: “Why cry out to me? Speak to the Israelites. Order them to get moving.
16 Hold your staff high and stretch your hand out over the sea: Split the sea! The Israelites will walk through the sea on dry ground. MSG
DAVID BASHSHEBA
1 SAM 13:14 But now your kingdom shall not endure. The Lord has sought out for Himself a man (David) after His own heart, and the Lord has appointed him as leader and ruler over His people, because you have not kept (obeyed) what the Lord commanded you.” AMP DR EBY GOD CANNOT SEE SIN

JUDGES 6:12 The angel of God appeared to him and said, “God is with you, O mighty warrior!”
13 Gideon replied, “With me, my master? If God is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all the miracle-wonders our parents and grandparents told us about, telling us, ‘Didn’t God deliver us from Egypt?’ The fact is, God has nothing to do with us – he has turned us over to Midian.”
14 But God faced him directly: “Go in this strength that is yours. Save Israel from Midian. Haven’t I just sent you?”
15 Gideon said to him, “Me, my master? How and with what could I ever save Israel? Look at me. My clan’s the weakest in Manasseh and I’m the runt of the litter.”
16 God said to him, “I’ll be with you. Believe me, you’ll defeat Midian as one man.” MSG
SLATE CLEAN COL 2:14 His body nailed to the cross hung there as the document of mankind’s guilt; in dying our death he cancelled the detailed hand-written record which testified against us. Every stain on our conscience, reminding of the sense of failure and guilt, was thus fully blotted out. MIRROR
HEB 10:17 This is final: I have no record of your sins and misdeeds. I cannot recall them. MIRROR
1 JN 2:12 The reason of my writing is to remind you to live your lives in the innocence of an infant! The name Jesus means that you can rest assured in your salvation from sin’s harassment! MIRROR
1 COR 11:28 To see oneself associated in Christ’s death and declared innocent in his blood is the only worthy manner in which to examine one’s own life in the context of the new covenant meal. MIRROR
1 COR 4:4 even though I know of nothing against my conscience, I am not thereby acquitted. The point is not how self righteous I appear in my own eyes; the Lord’s judgment is the only valid reference to our innocence. MIRROR
1 THESS 3:13 The dominion of the Christ life establishes you in blameless innocence, face to face before our God and Father, in the constant awareness of his presence in our mutual togetherness with all the saints! MIRROR
1 COR 10:31 Live your life overwhelmed by God’s opinion of you! Your eating and drinking is certainly a constant reminder that you are his glory. Every meal proclaims the fact that the life of your design is redeemed again in Christ; salute life! MIRROR
1 JN 1:6 This is the real deal! To live a life of pretense is such a waste of time! The truth has no competition. Truth inspires the poetry of friendship in total contrast to a fake, performance-based relationship! Light is not threatened by darkness! Why say something with darkness as your reference?
7 We are invited to explore the dimensions of the same light that engulfs God; when we see the light in his light, fellowship ignites! In this light, we understand how the blood of Jesus Christ is the removal of every distortion and stain of sin!
8 To claim innocence by our own efforts under the law of personal performance, is to deceive ourselves and to deliberately ignore the truth. The truth about us, does not mean that we now have to go into denial as if we haven’t done anything wrong! The light of the gospel does not reveal sin; it reveals our freedom from it!)
9 Our conversation takes on a brand new dynamic when we take sides with what God believes about us! So, instead of telling God about the detail of your sin, you remind yourself about the detail of your redemption. God doesn’t need the information, you do! God’s faithfulness and righteousness is the basis of our forgiveness and cleansing from every distortion. Jesus removed every bit of condemning evidence against us! MIRROR

1 JN 1:7 But if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. AMP
2 COR 5: 17 Now, in the light of your co-inclusion in his death and resurrection, whoever you thought you were before, in Christ you are a brand new person! The old ways of seeing yourself and everyone else are over. Acquaint yourself with the new!
18 The idea of mankind’s co-inclusion in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is entirely God’s doing! To now realize that God has indeed brought final closure to the old and for us to see everything and everyone in this new light is to simply see what God has always known to be true about us in Christ; we are not debating human experience, opinion, or their contribution; this is exactly what God believes. In Jesus Christ, God exchanged equivalent value to redeem us to himself. He went to the highest extreme in this act of reconciliation to persuade us of our original worth! This, God has given us as the mandate of our ministry. MIRROR
2 TIM 1:3 I love the constant thought of you; I am aware of our union in Christ 24/7. Prayer is such a permanent thing when we discover God’s grace-echo in our worship! Our conscience celebrates our pre-creation innocence before God! MIRROR
ROM 8:20 Every creature became subject to a frustrating life of vanity and futility, because of a lost identity. Creation involuntarily fell prey to a mindset imposed upon everyone. Yet within this stark setting, hope prevails.
21 With eager expectation, every creature yearns to be released from its slavery to this wearisome, perishable existence; trapped within a fragile time frame of fading glory, into the glorious freedom of discovering their true sonship. They are indeed children, and not mere ‘creatures’ of God. MIRROR
1 COR 15:49 Just as we have borne the image of the earthly [the man of dust], we will also bear the image of the heavenly [the Man of heaven]. AMP
