Making Your Wrong Name Right

Making Your Wrong Name Right…

There have been times I’ve called someone the wrong name. It’s embarrassing, but God has the same kind of problem. God often calls people by the wrong name.

In Matthew 16:18 He called Simon – Peter: the rock. He called an old man with a barren wife – Abraham: the father of the many. When you are still struggling, He calls you victorious.

When you read in the Bible that you’re a royal priesthood, holy, you’re tempted to tell God He has the wrong person, He called you by the wrong name. Like God, we need to call people by the wrong names, names that don’t fit the present reality. If you’re just calling them what they are, you’re just reflecting what is.

Learn to speak in faith, to call the weak in God, strong, the struggling in God, victorious, the battered down, prevailing. Then what happens, is the old man actually becomes the father of many, the shaky apostle becomes a rock and you become victorious and blessed.

Learn the secret of speaking and receiving the wrong name into your life, and in God it will become the right name.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. Matthew 16:18

God calls you “holy,” “royal,” “beloved,” “the light,” “victorious,” and much more. Take one of these today. Believe it, claim it, and live it.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
