You Are Sufficient and Significant by Tiffany James

As the new year is approaching, I have been feeling Papa tugging on my heart so strongly to remind His bride that they are suffienct, as well as significant! That’s right He wants to remind us that we are not only enough, but more than enough! Feelings of inadequacy is the same trap the enemy has used since the beginning. The enemy's goal is to cause God’s children to partner with unbelief. In Genesis 3:1-3, we read with sadden hearts the day Eve doubted the goodness of her Creator. It was the day her doubt caused her to turn from God to something else to feel complete. She looked outside of what she knew to be true and bit into the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  Now that which was confined to a tree would become a seed inside of her womb, giving birth to something she never had to contend with before because she had no knowledge of it – evil.  This was the beginning of mankind’s identity crisis. Eve no longer saw herself through the father eyes, but through the lenses of deception. She would live out a life that was birthed from a lie. How tragic is that! Yet, the enemy is still cunning, and we might not realize that if too can fall into the same trap. When we believe that we lack something it causes us to look away from God and look to something or someone else to feel complete. It causes us to chase after in order to obtain that which we feel we lack. Feelings of inadequacy causes us to distrust what God said about us in His word or believe the lie that it only applies to the more worthy men and women of God.  We can fall into the trap of not feeling anointed enough, powerful enough, gifted enough, prophetic enough, and the list can go on. When this happens, we can start to chase after the anointing or people we feel are more anointed than us forgetting that the Anointed One lives within each of us. If we are not mindful, we can find ourselves chasing after miracles, signs, and wonders to prove that we are significant in the Kingdom of God. If we are not careful, we find ourselves constantly trying to silence the lie or fill the void. This is exhausting because nothing will ever satisfy you but God, Himself. I hear God saying, “Take your running shoes off and put your dancing shoes on.”  Remember, His word states that miracles, signs, and wonders will follow you if you believe. All these supernatural promises are a part of our everyday life because the great I AM lives inside of each of us. It is our norm but that does not take away from how Extraordinary our life in Him is. Things are always happening as we learn to move as one with Papa in the rhythm of His grace. Whether you are prophesying from the pulpit or healing depression with your smile, you are dancing with God! Keep your eyes fixed on the Lover of your soul. Don’t fall in the trap of wanting the power of God instead of a relationship with God! He chose you to represent Him in the earth realm and the moment you shrink back a part of Him is not being revealed. You lack nothing because the God who is the creator of everything lives in you! You have full access to Him and everything you need to fulfill your purpose through His Holy Spirit. If there are areas in your life where you're feeling inadequate or you're still questioning His goodness in regards to how He created you, take some time and invite Him into those parched places so that His living waters can help you perceive the truth of how fearfully and wonderfully He made you. He will answer you and show you.  If you want more of Him, look to Him and you will find Him!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.  I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile. Jeremiah 29:11-13

With Love, TIffany
