Disable and Remove the Label

Since we are little we hear you're too small, tall, fat, poor, rich, ugly, beautiful, skinny, etc................. When we get to adulthood, we continue to hear you're too bossy, spoiled, high maintenance, not talented, not smart enough, not good enough, not worthy, unfriendly, fake, quiet, rude and the list goes on.....

We hear all this all our lives that get rooted in our thinking, perception, and heart. it is so rooted that it is all we see and it is how we identify ourselves; it becomes part of us. We hear it, believe it, and speak it. However, It is time to stripe all the negative labels people have spoken over you and remove them completely.  

When I was younger I once was told to be careful what words I say out loud into the air because it may come true which I honestly thought that it was just being suspicious or just some Chinese mumble jumbo. But in a sense, that phrase has meaning because in the bible says, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit". Proverbs 18:21” The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit” proverbs 15:4  which means speaking words have the potential to produce positive or negative consequences. they have the power to give life through encouragement and honesty or to crush and kill through lies. That’s why more now than ever I believe we need to stop mind, self, and others to speak negative words to you. Stop the condemnation and stop those negative labels take root in our hearts and minds; start to believe it and speak the word of God over them. Proverbs.12:6 "The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them”. Let God's word rescue you and uplift you. 

No matter what box society has put on God says I'm his masterpiece. The definition of Masterpiece is a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship. translates God took his time to create you. He took all our broken pieces and made them into a work of art. You're one of a kind; You are His greatest piece of work. So, do not diminish the work our God made in believing in those words. Don't allow other people’s opinions to define who you are. Even when we can't stop people from labels us STILL overcome and Let God remove the labels, believe me, God can and will break the labels that have held you hostage.  2 Corinthians 10:5 says, We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Once again, God will remove it all. 

Therefore, the only way is by diligently guarding our hearts: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” (proverbs 4:23).
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14) Protect your heart with God's word, meditate, apply and live it So when those words come you can speak out the truth. God will give you the strength to crush those lies and free you from the labels.

So, today if you are believing, feeling, seeing negative labels in your life I encourage you to let God be the only defining factor in your life. Seek to know Christ above all things. The question should not be “Who are you?” but rather “Whose are you?” To be Christian is to believe in Christ and know him personally, seeking to love and obey him all your life. Christ will always be the dividing line. Therefore, may we find ourselves not with the correct label but with the correct relationship to Christ. In the end, when we stand before God, we will all be defined by this alone.

Remember,
Know who you are and whose you are...............
