Bible says in proverbs 28 verse 1 it says that the righteous man is as bold
as a lion when you have righteousness you have courage when you have
righteousness you have strength when you have righteousness your head is up you
have boldness to cast out devils you have boldness to pray for the sick when
you've done all right if you remember the the weeks that you had things that
you did write your prayer is even bolder you like Lord I know it's been only
three days that I read the Bible but I sure feel very confident today imagine
standing on the righteousness that Jesus has accomplished and finding
boldness that God looks at you as though you have all the accomplishments all the
brownie points of Jesus you can pray with boldness you can live with boldness
you can dream big dreams you can pray dangerous prayers you can
step out of your comfort zone why because there's boldness that people
look at you and say well is it because you fasted for so long oh yeah I do fast
but I stand as a righteous man and the righteousness of Jesus I seek His
righteousness and he blesses me oh it's as though God looks at me and he
recognizes Jesus so he go ahead and blesses Jesus not realizing that
it's actually me the same way that he looked at me on the cross and saw me and
punished Jesus now he looks at me and he sees Jesus and he says I'm gonna add
blessing to you because you're wearing Jesus's righteousness you are Paul
because you're carrying Jesus's righteousness
in Proverbs it says that a wicked man falls by calamity but a righteous man
falls seven times and gets up that means that when I carry his righteousness
I'm never protected from temptation but I am protected from living in a failure
I am pulled up even if I fall I rise back up why because his righteousness
pulls me back up his righteousness in Ephesians chapter 6 it says it's a
breastplate if a human righteousness is just a bloody cloth his righteousness is
a weapon his righteousness is bulletproof and why does God make his
righteousness a breastplate because it protects the heart see your heart will
judge you because your heart operates based on knowing only what you did but
God's righteousness puts into account what he did and sometimes the Bible says
in first John that our heart will judge us but God is greater than their heart
that means when my heart judges me I have a breast plate that says hard sit
at the feet of Jesus because there is more than what I did he did something on
the cross he spilled his blood he became sin that I will become righteous
don't listen to your heart my friend listen to God's Word let God's
righteousness cover your heart don't let take clues from your heart because your
heart is not the best indicator of true information your heart only knows you it
doesn't think about the cross but the breastplate it protects my heart it
tells my heart God is bigger than you I know you made a mistake I know you don't
measure up I know you were doing good until you realize your neighbor's doing
better now you realize you're not doing good and the breastplate says clings
close to me and says it's not about you doing good it's about God becoming a sin
that you can become righteous the Bible says that God delivers righteous from
all affliction when you are walking in who you are as a righteous person God
will deliver you from all your affliction it doesn't mean you won't
have affliction the affliction won't have you God has you no weapon formed
against me shall prosper every tongue the rises against me I shall condemn the
Bible says this is the heritage of the Lord and their righteousness is from God
what does that mean that means I go to a courtroom of my consciousness and my
consciousness execute judgment and say you messed up you're horrible you're not
good enough and the enemy when he releases his voice he attaches his vice
because all of the demonic weapons are voice activated
and I get up in that Court and I am shaking and shivering because the facts
are against me but I remind myself I am the heritage of God I am his child
I am his offspring and my righteousness is from God so devil it is true that I
got bitten by a snake it is true I don't measure up it is true but that
is not the truth that truth is Jesus became sin that I become righteous
somebody give God some praise
