“Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5 “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God,” 1 John 5:1
Are you born of the Spirit? Are you born of God? If so, you are a powerful spiritual being like your father. You are not merely a physical being. This is important because seeing yourself as a powerful spiritual offspring of God gives you power over the flesh. Your true identity is no longer determined by your earthly parents or any other human. It is determined by your Heavenly Father. As an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ, we have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, therefore we resign in life through the one Christ Jesus. “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” (Romans 8:9, NKJV) “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14
Say it, “I am a powerful spiritual being. I am born of The Spirit. I am a son of God led by the Spirit of God. I have authority and power over the flesh because I am of The Spirit. I walk in The Spirit.”
