It's Our Destiny To Be Just Like Jesus

"For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:29-31

It is the desire of our Father to reveal His Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ the Lord, within us. Our Father has predestined us to be conformed to the very image of Jesus. Our Father has not destined us to be conformed to some vague resemblance of Jesus; He has predestined us to be exactly and completely like Jesus. God has called us, He has justified us, and He has glorified us, so that we may be just like Jesus, a member of His body and flesh of His flesh. The blood of Jesus has now purged our consciences from all dead works. Because of this, Jesus is now able to glorify us with all of Himself, so that we are able to be used perfectly by God to preach the fullness of the salvation of Jesus Christ to the world!

That they all may be one, as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us,: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are One.” John 17:21-22

Jesus prayed that He would be glorified by God so that He could glorify God, and then Jesus gave us the same glory, so that we too may be used by God to glorify God! We have been empowered with the exact same Godly force as Jesus to serve our Father. We are one with Jesus and His glory is revealed through us as He is glorified within us!

God chose you and I. He called you and I, He justified you and I, and He glorified you and I! Our Father is for us and there is nothing that can be against us as we preach the freedom of Jesus Christ with power and demonstration of the Spirit! Today is the Day of Victory in Jesus and our Father would that all men be victorious through Jesus!
