Day 7

Today we are fasting from the thought that says: "MY LIFE IS NOT THAT SIGNIFICANT." "What kind of difference can I make?"
1. The first thing you have to do to overcome this thought is believe in your importance to God. You are important to God BECAUSE you are God's highest creation. Psalm 8:5-8 says, "Lord, you have made man a little lower than Elohim (God-Himself). And you have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet. All sheep and oxen; Even the beasts of the field. The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas."
2. You are important to God BECAUSE He values you as much as He values Jesus. The value of a thing is determined by how much someone would pay to purchase that thing. God purchased YOU with His own Son. That brings your value up to the same level as Jesus!
3. If you had been the only person in the world, Jesus would have died for you. That makes you significant.
4. You are His workmanship. (Ephesians 2:10.) This is an amazing verse as the word, "workmanship" is translated best as "work of art". You are an original with no one else like you. You're not a copy. You're a work of art to God.
5. You add something to the Body of Christ. Romans 12:4-5 says, "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."
THINK THIS: I am signficant. I bring to value to those around me. I have a specific part in the body of Christ. My life counts for something. The people in my life are better off because of my relationship with them. I am a work of art.

SAY THIS: Lord, I thank you that I am your workmanship. You have made me a work of art. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, according to Psalm 139:14. I am the crown of your creation. You provide for all my needs. If I was the only person on earth, you would have still sent your Son to die on the cross. I bless everyone I come in contact with. Remember, there is no stopping the man or woman who is set free from wrong thinking!
