Our Inheritance part 1

WHO I AM IN CHRIST - JESUS MY LIFE

Right confession = speaking only what God says

Hearing only what God hears

Seeing only what God sees

Doing only what God does

Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing: for whatsoever things He does, these the Son also does in like manner.
(John 5:19)

Whatever you fix your eyes upon grows within you.
Whatever grows within you, you become. What comes out of your mouth determines your life; what you do changes your life.

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.
(2Co 3:18)
