Jesus Became Like Us

Beloved child Jesus became like us so we could become like Him – it’s called the law of sacrifice! We must stay focused on Christ Jesus, so we don’t drift away from the truth. (Hebrews 2:1) For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. So, what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus Himself and then delivered to us by those who heard Him speak? (Hebrews 2:2-3) God confirmed this message by giving signs, wonders, various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever He chose. Jesus was willing to die on the cross for your sins and mine. He paid the ultimate price and sacrificed His own life so you and I could not just live, but live life more abundantly! (John 10:10) Look at the ways He sacrificed:

1. He was made lower than the angels, even though they worshipped Him. (Hebrews 2:9)

2. He tasted death for everyone even though He is the immortal God. (Hebrews 2:9)

3. He suffered for us, even though He is the omnipotent Savior.

(Hebrews 2:10)

4. He calls us brother, even though He is the creator of all of us.

(Hebrews 2:11-13)

5. He shared our humanity, even though He is the unlimited, perfect Spirit. (Hebrews 2:14)

Why did Jesus go through all this sacrifice?

1. That He could be merciful to us in our humanity.

2. That He could empathize with our temptations.

3. That He could deliver us from our sufferings.

Isn’t it obvious, that He didn’t go to all this trouble for angels? It was for people like us, children of Abraham. That’s why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when He came before God as high priest to get rid of the people’s sins, He would have already experienced it all Himself—all the pain, all the testing—and would be able to help where help was needed! (Hebrews 2:16-18) He became like us, so we could become like Him! Oh, what a Savior!

My Daily Declarations

Pray this out loud over your day:

Father God, I come boldly before your throne (Hebrews 4:16) and thank you for this beautiful day as I dedicate it to You! I declare and decree on the authority of the Word of God I am healthy, I am wealthy in every area of my life, and I am wise beyond my years. I have great discernment and receive revelation as I study the Word of God. I boldly confess I am loved, called and chosen. I am anointed, appointed, equipped and enabled by the power of the Holy Spirit that works mightily within me. I am a carrier of the fire of the Holy Ghost igniting the flame in others, everywhere I go. I declare and decree I live, breathe, move and serve powerfully under the shelter of the Jehovah Yahweh. (Psalms 91)

I declare:

I believe God’s Word is true and I am who God’s Word says I am, I can have what God’s Word says I have. I can do what God’s Word says I can do. I am rich in every way and generous on every occasion. There is no lack in Heaven, I remove every block and hinderance releasing all the resources with my name on it. I say laborers come forth to help me build the Kingdom of God therefore it is established in Jesus name. (Matthew 9:35-38) I am the child of a King, therefore I will not leave home without wearing my invisible crown. I am healed and whole in every area of my life. God has called me to be a healer and deliverer to set His people free from every form of earthly bondage. He has chosen me to pull leaders up, push them out and position them for their purpose and calling as Jesus did. I have entered the ‘Rest of God’ and I am staying in that peaceful place and I declare I will not allow the enemy to rock my world.(Hebrews 4:1-16) Peace belongs to me because I am a blood bought daughter of a King, therefore I trust you Abba Father. I value and sense Your presence today Father. The Holy Spirit lives within me, He goes before me, walks beside me and He is my rear guard. (Isaiah 58:8, Isaiah 52:12) You O’ Lord order my steps and my stops. (Psalms 37:23)

I Declare:

I declare and decree on the authority of the Word of God I am favored, I have favor with both God and man in all I do in Jesus name. I am blessed and highly favored of the Lord, (Proverbs 3:3-4) divine spiritual order is in my home, body, life and family. I am renewing my mind daily, disciplining myself by washing it with the Word. I guard my heart for out of me flows a well spring of life not the issues of life because I am healed and whole in every area of my life because You O’ Lord are the CEO and President of my life. I declare divine protection and restoration over my family and I today. Divine appointments are happening every where I go.

I Declare:

I declare and decree that No weapon formed against my family and I can prosper or succeed and every tongue that (speaks against) rises up against us in judgement we condemn it, for this is the heritage of the children of the Most High God. (Isaiah 54:17) I declare and decree that me and my house shall be saved, every single member of my family, not one member of my family will perish in Jesus name. I release them now to the Father and I trust you Father God with them. (Acts 6:31) I walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) I trust God with everything that goes on in my life and with each member of my family because God is at work turning all things around for my good and His glory because I love Him. (Romans 8:28) I seal my declarations with the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit which empowers me therefore it is established this day in the Holy Righteous name of Jesus. Amen.

Copy these daily declarations and use them then watch how Abba Father blesses you in 2020!
