When you choose a horse to send to the track you don't  send just any old horse.  You choose one with a proven pedigree, perfect confirmation and heart!  Well friend; that's what God does when He wants to get His will done here on earth!  First; we are of a royal liniage; we are from a proven line!  We have been adopted into the family of God and now have all the rights, priviledges and abilities of our brother, Jesus!  I'd say that's the best pedigree going; wouldn't you!  Unbridled Elaine (2001 Breeders Cup Dystaff Winner) had a sire who won the Breeders Cup (Unbridled Song), a grandsire who wone the Breeders Cup (Unbridled) and her damn, Carol's Folley produced many millions of dollors in off-spring.  That's nothing compared to our Bloodlines!  King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Messiah, Conquering King, All Sufficient, Alpha Omega, Creator, Deliverer, Healer, Pure Love, and on and on and on!  All He has is ours because of the finished work of the cross...WOW!  We're qualified by that alone!  We're in the most elite group of 'runners' going!  We'd all make the Keenland Select Sale...we are the best of the best!  

We also have the confirmation of a winner!  He knitt us together in our mothers womb!  He saw us before we were concieved!  He knew the plans for us before our birth.  Everything we need to run, finish and win our Race is within us.  Now!  The same spirit that rose Christ from the dead lives in us!  The SAME SPIRIT!   So, we have what it takes to win our Race!  He saw to it!  It was a gift He gave to us, not because we earned it, but because He loves us!  He made a way for us to be qualified because He knew, on our own, we just don't have what it takes to get the job done and if we did, we'd loose it.  We aren't good enough, strong enough, nice enough, talented enough to qualify for much of anything on our own.

...and Heart.  When we ask Jesus to live in our heart, He moves right in.  We become filled to overflowing with His power, hope, faith and love.  All we have to do is focus on what we already have.  The grace (His willingness to activate His power thru our faith (which He gave us at salvation) to realize (act out) our righteousness).  When we become aware of, and begin to act on, what He has already done and what already belongs to us, we experience His righteousness in our everyday lives...signs, wonders, miracles, provision, peace...the whole, finished work of Jesus.  Unbridled Elaine had heart.  She always knew who she was and what she was born, trained and destined to do...WIN!  and WIN BIG!  She obviously had an inner "picture" of herself and it was always in front of the field of runners.  She never considered second place a position that fit her, not an option.  We need to realize our position in life; we were born winners!  He said that ' all runners run, but not all win.'  We need to run as winners, laying every hinderance aside (wrong thinking) so that we can finish where he intends us to...in first place!  A champion!

How do we get an inner "picture" of ourselves like that...look into His Word!  It is a mirror of who you really are!  I have been reading the message bible lately and have been loving it.  Why don't you join me!  Blog me!  Send me some "horse" or "race" scriptures...some inner "pictures" of our race!
