A few years ago I was traveling as the Tour Pastor for 'The Revolve Events', a Christian event for young girls, which was birthed out of the Women of Faith Organization. The night before our event, God laid on my heart the importance of 'Being Real'.
I've always loved our devotional times together before each event and on this day, as the team sat down around me, I sensed something special happening in the room as I shared with them what the Lord had impressed upon my heart about 'Being Real'.
My prayer the night before was, "Father, help me Be Real".
In my heart I heard this response. "You must first know the POWER of BEING...BEING in Me and Me BEING in you."
I remembered the scriptures in John 15 about abiding in the Vine. Then, this began to just flow from my pen as a personal declaration and I would like to share it with you.
BEING REAL
By BE-lieving His Word...I Know I am His BE-loved.
I have BE-come the Righteousness of God through Christ Jesus.
I BE-long to my Heavenly Father and the family of God through the Blood of Jesus.
Everything is BE-coming New in my life...BE-cause I am a New Creation.
His plans are so far BE-yond my Dreams.
I can BE-gin to rise Higher in my understanding of Him...BE-cause He goes BE-fore me and stands BE-side me.
He is BE-neath me...My Rock on which I stand.
He is BE-hind me...My Rear Guard.
I can BE Real BE-cause HE Is!!!
HE is BE-yond Description! BE-yond Words! BE-yond Comprehension!
HE is Be-yond this World! BE-yond Hatred! BE-yond Evil! Be-yond Impossibilities!
BE-yond Failure! BE-yond Fear!
Oh, to Rise to Where He Is! BE-yond Myself! Oh, that My Lord would BE More Real to Me than my Greatest Reality!
More Real than Pain or Grief! More Real than the Greatest Pleasure I've ever Known on this earth!
More Real than what I can Touch or See! More Real than my Senses are to me.
I know now that when the Love of Jesus is Real to me...His Love is what truly Transforms me...Into 'BEING REAL'.
Webster's dictionary states 'Real' as True, Genuine, Not Artificial, or Counterfeit.
The Word of God says in Colossians 2:17b "Reality is found IN Christ."
