THEME: Mirroring Yourself in the Word
Todayâs Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
THE MESSAGE
The term âglassâ in the scripture above is the Greek âkatoptrizomai,â and it means to mirror oneself. The New International Version says, âAnd we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lordâs glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.â Itâs talking about the mirror of God, which is the Word of God.
As you study and meditate on the Word, youâre mirroring yourself! What you see in the mirror is the glory of God. Through meditation, the Word takes root in your spirit and becomes one with your spirit; it creates a picture in your mind: the image of Godâs glory.
For example, you may have thought you were a dirty sinner, but then you looked in the mirror of God and saw that youâre the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus; youâve been declared not guilty; divinely acquitted! Blessed be God! This should completely change your perception and cause you to become immediately righteousness-conscious, and walk henceforth in righteousness.
Perhaps you were told you wouldnât amount to anything in life; youâre a poor, wretched nobody. But the Wordâthe mirror of Godâshows otherwise. It shows you belong in a chosen generation, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar peopleâ handpicked by God to display His manifold wisdom and express the virtues and perfections of divinity (1 Peter 2:9). This is the truth about your personality that you must accept and endorse. Hallelujah! Maybe for several nights, Satan has been
oppressing you in your sleep, and you thought you needed âdeliverance.â But you look in the mirror
and see, âGiving thanks unto the FatherâŚWho hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Sonâ (Colossians 1:12-13).
Immediately, that truth should get a hold of your spirit and you begin to exercise dominion over Satan and the forces of darkness. Thereâs so much that happens to, and in your spirit as you meditate on the Word; youâre transformed to become what you see. Hold on to the picture, the image of you thatâs projected by the Word; thatâs the reality you must keep affirming, regardless of circumstances.
CONFESSION
Iâm perfected in Christ, and Iâm the glory of God; I can do all things through Christ and no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper. Iâm eternally triumphant and can never be disadvantaged. Therefore, I fix my gaze on the Word and accept only the image and reflection of me that it projects. Blessed be God!
