"That's My King!" Who Grants You Your True Identity!

You're justified and have peace with God!
You died with Christ and died to the power of sin's rule over your life!
Your enemies should not rejoice over you for when you fall, you will arise; when you sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to you.  You will bear the indignation of the LORD because you have sinned against Him, until He pleads your case and executes justice for you.  He will bring you forth to the light; You will see His righteousness!
Your God is unlike any other, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage.  He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.  He will again have compassion on you, and will subdue your iniquities.  He will cast all your sins into the depths of the sea!
Your sins have been removed from you as far as the east is from the west!
Your sins have all been cast behind the LORD's back!
Your sins have been blotted out for His own sake, and He will not remember them!
Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow!
Jesus was wounded for your transgressions; bruised for your iniquities; and the chastisement for your peace was upon Him!
You're free from condemnation forever!
Where your sin abounds, grace abounds for you all the more!
Your God is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm!
You're kept as the apple of God's eye!
Your God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live!

That's who you are in my King!  I wonder if you know Him today?!

If you come to Jesus, He will by no means cast you out!
You'll not perish, but you'll have everlasting life!
You've been saved from the fierceness of God’s everlasting wrath in hell where the fire is unquenchable and where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth!
You have Christ as your wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption and have been made righteous!
You have the mind of Christ!
You're the temple of the Holy Spirit, were bought with a price, and are not your own!
You've been established in Christ, sealed, and you have been given the Spirit in your heart as a guarantee of your inheritance!
You've been crucified with Christ; it is no longer you who live, but Christ lives in you!
You've been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ!
You've been chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, that you should be holy and without blame before Him in love!
You've been predestined to adoption as sons of God!
You've been made alive together with Christ!
You've been made to sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus!
You have access by one Spirit to the Father!
You have boldness and access to God with confidence through faith in Him!
You've been delivered from the power of darkness and conveyed into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins!
Christ is in you!

That's your blessed identity in Him!

You're complete in Christ!
You've not been given a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind!
You're sanctified and one with the sanctifier, therefore Jesus calls you his brother!
You can come boldly to the throne of grace, that you may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need!
You've been given exceedingly great and precious promises, that through them you may be partakers of the divine nature!
You're the salt of the earth and the light of the world!
Jesus calls you His friend!
You were chosen by Jesus and appointed by Him to go and bear lasting fruit!
You're a slave of righteousness and a slave of God!
You're an heir of God and a joint heir with Christ!

You're a new creation!
You're a saint!
You're holy and righteous!
Your life is hidden with Christ in God!
You're the elect of God, holy and beloved!
You're a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, the people of God!
You can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you!
You have all your needs supplied according to God’s riches in glory by Christ Jesus!
You have the LORD as the strength of your life and as your confidence!

That's the truth about you as a son or daughter of the King!  Are you content in Him alone today?!

You shall always be led by God to triumph in Christ!
You can cast all your worries, fears, and anxieties on God because He cares for you!
You're never alone for Christ is always with you!
You should boast in your weaknesses that the power of Christ may rest upon you because His grace is sufficient for you, for His strength is made perfect in weakness!
You're not a lot of things you should be, but take heart:  God has chosen the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are that no flesh should glory in His presence!
You have your sufficiency from God!
You have God working in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure!
You'll do valiantly through God for it is He who shall tread down your enemies!
You'll have fullness of joy and pleasures forever more one day forever in God’s very presence!
Your momentary and light affliction, which is for a moment, is working for you a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!
Your present sufferings are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in you!
One day you shall have no more tears, no more sorrow, no more pain; there shall be no more death and no more sin!
You shall not be separated from the love of Christ for any reason in the universe!
You have certain and unshakable promises causing you to be strong, courageous, and fearless because God is with you and He is your God and will strengthen you and help you and uphold you with His righteous right hand!
You'll one day enter into the joy of your LORD!

That's what you'll get in my King!

Your hairs are numbered and if not even a little bird can fall to the ground apart from God’s will, you should fear nothing for God loves you much more than little birds!
In His book they all were written – every detail of every day fashioned by Him for your good before even one came into being!
All your times are in His hands!
As your days are, so shall your strength be and underneath are the everlasting arms!
All things work according to His will!
If you sin, you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous!
If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness!
You can never be defeated because if God is for you, who can be against you?!
You're more than a conqueror through Him who loved you!
All things, even those things meant for evil against you, are working for your good!
You are loved by God with an everlasting love!
Your right hand is held by God, and He will guide you with His counsel!
God satisfies you with the fullness of His house and gives you drink from the river of His pleasures!
God delights in you and as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so shall your God rejoice over you!
God will rejoice over you with gladness, and He will quiet you with His love!
You're God's special treasure!
Your heavenly Father, like the Hound of Heaven, is pursuing you relentlessly with goodness and mercy all the days of your life!

"That's My King!" Who's Got The Name Above All Names!

According to Philippians 2:5-11, the name that is above all names is the name of Jesus, Whom God has exalted and given the name that belongs only to God: "Lord." Jesus is Lord! Jesus is God! He is the LORD Jesus Christ! He has that name which is above all names!

Moises Silva writes:

What is the name that Jesus received: "Lord" or "Jesus"? Moule (1970: 270) gives us a satisfactory answer: "Because of the incarnation, the human name, 'Jesus' is acclaimed as the highest name; and the Man Jesus thus comes to be acclaimed as Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Peter T. O'Brien writes:

The name greater than any other that God conferred on Jesus as a gracious gift is his own name, ("Lord"), in its most sublime sense, that designation used in the LXX to represent the personal name of the God of Israel, that is, Yahweh.

The name "Jesus" means: "Yahweh (the LORD) saves".

The Bible is full of names for Jesus! These (over 200!) names of Jesus were compiled by Clinton N. Howard after he was challenged by a Muslim nobleman whose rosary included 99 names for Allah. Mr. Howard published these names in 1925 under the title Pearls of Paradise, at the request of William Jennings Bryan. The names were also published by Greater Europe Mission as a bookmark.

May Christ Be Great, Not Us!

Spurgeon wrote:

Young person, seeking great things for yourself, Christ counsels, "Do not seek them."  I remember that as a young man I was ambitious.  I was seeking to go to college, to leave my congregation in the wilderness that I might become something great.  As I was out walking, this text came with power to my heart, "Do you seek great things for yourself?  Do not seek them" (Jer. 45:5).  "Lord," I said, "I will follow Your counsel and not my own plans."  I have never had cause to regret that decision.  Always take the Lord for your guide, and you will never be wrong.

Charles Spurgeon, Beside Still Waters, Ed. Roy Clarke (Nashville:  Thomas Nelson, 1999), 361. 

"That's My King!" Who's The Supreme, Sovereign, Indomitable Root Of Joy!

He's the biggest, deepest, strongest, most enduring root of joy that has ever sprouted in this world!
He's the most joyful of the joyous!
He possesses joy like no other in the everlasting bliss of the Holy Trinity:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
We sing:  “Joy to the world!  The Lord has come!  Let earth receive her King!”
He's joy to the world!
He's joy in the world!
He's the joy of the world!
He's the universe's joy Whose songs of praise are heard in every corner of the world, and will be heard in every tribe, tongue, language, people, and nation for all eternity!
He's the ultimate source of all joy in every pure enjoyment of this world!
He's the all satisfying, blazing sun Who gives heat and light to the all the lesser sunbeam pleasures of this universe!
Without Him there's no true, deep, lasting joy to be enjoyed in all the joyful joys you ever have enjoyed, ever are enjoying, or ever will enjoy!
Throughout His life and especially on that cross He faced the greatest tribulation and persecution this world has ever seen and more and triumphed over it all for the joy that was set before Him!

That's my Root of Joy!  I wonder if you know Him today?!

He creates in us unshakable, enduring roots of joy that last forever in the face of all manner of tests, trials, temptations, and traumatic tribulations!
He Himself is the joy Who is our strength!
He's worthy of more wonder than any wine or woman!
He accumulates more adoration than any accolade or achievement!
He measures out more mirth and merriment than any marriage or ministry!
He's treasured above all toys or triumphs!
He's coveted more than any children or champion!
He's more satisfying than any sport or serenade!
He generates more gaiety, glee, gladness, and gratification than any greatness, gold, or glory!
He produces more permanent pleasure and peace of mind than any prestige or power!
He IS the joy above all joys!
This great Joy of joys Himself became joyless on that cross when the very joy of His happy heart, His heavenly Father, punished Him for the joy-killing sins of all those who would ever repent and believe in Him!
But God raised Him up from the dead, ushering in everlasting joy for His people that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has conceived of since the foundation of the world!

That's my King!  That's my King!

"That's My King!" Who Humbles Hard Hearts And Destroys The Deeds Of The Devil!

He's the Rock harder than the hardest of hearts!

He's the ultimate heart-breaker Who breaks your heart of all lovers except Himself!

He's the most passionate heart-healer Who delights to bind up the broken hearted and proclaims liberty to the captives!

He's the only safe keeper of your heart because out of Him flow all the pleasures and treasures of life!

He's the Chief Cornerstone Who grinds to powder all He falls upon!

No one He finally aims to bring to Himself can harden his heart against Him and succeed!

He'll win every heart He goes after through His irresistible beauty, love, grandeur, and greatness!

He melts the hard heart with the gentle warmth of His incomprehensible love!

He was counted as the worst of the hardhearted who has ever lived on the cross and punished so that we could be saved!

He removes hearts of stone through His power to atone!

He bought hard hearts for Himself when He died on the cross and rose up from the grave!

He has the mercy-heart of mercy-hearts, and He will have compassion on you if you hope in His mercy!

That's my King!  Do you know Him?!

He's the ultimate demon killer!

He's the superior serpent crusher!

He's the deadliest dragon slayer!

He's the decisive devil destroyer Who came to forever set us free from the bondage of the evil one!

He came into the world to destroy the works of the devil!

He more than conquered the devil's temptations in the wilderness!

Where the first Adam failed to kick Satan out of the garden of paradise and so the world became a cursed and barren wilderness; the second Adam Jesus was victorious over Satan, bore the curse of sin in His own body on the tree, and will finally cause this sin-sick, barren world to become an unimaginable paradise forevermore!

Though the devil, through Peter, tried to turn Jesus away from His God-given purpose to die on that cross, Jesus commanded the devil to get behind Him and relentlessly, perfectly, and perpetually obeyed the will of God!

Though the devil did everything in his power to cause the Son of God, on the night He was betrayed, to pray:  “My will be done!  I will not become despicable sin!  I will not go to that dreaded cross where I will be separated from my Father Who is the greatest lover this world has ever known!;”  Jesus more than conquered the devil and cried to His Father:  “Not My will but Yours be done!”

Though the devil thought he won by entering Judas and moving him to betray his lord and master, it was through Jesus' apparent defeat, defamation, and destruction on that cross that He won salvation for all those who would ever repent and believe in Him!
He's the strongest Strong-Man Who bound the strong man once and for all!
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer!

Though the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour; Jesus is the greater Lion of the tribe of Judah Who rose up from the grave so that He might roar both death and the devil all the way into the lake of fire where the torment will burn hot day and night forever and ever!

Oh my friends!  When Jesus roars, the beasts of the field are silent!  When Jesus roars, the devil's roar sounds like a kitten's whimper!

That's my King!  That's my King!
