stand out to us or others. This causes
us to strive to fix our issues only to
find out that we have no power to
sustain, because we don’t know His
righteousness first. Righteousness is
His power by faith.
Dr. Candice
Smithyman
How does Christ supply our need
for this righteousness? The Word
tells us He gives us the breastplate
of righteousness (Ephesians 6:14,
NASB). He also gives us the robe of
righteousness (Isaiah 61:10, NASB).
We are also told when we learn to walk
in His righteousness on earth and have
acts of righteousness that flow from
being righteous in Him, that He gives
us the crown of righteousness when
we pass on to be with Him. This is in
2 Timothy 4:8 (NASB), “In the future
there is laid up for me the crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous Judge, will award to me on
that day; and not only to me, but also
to all who have loved His appearing.”
In summary, righteousness by faith is
the heavenly key we all need for 2019.
The enemy wants to keep you down.
You must fight with the breastplate
of righteousness or the robe of
righteousness that you did not earn but
was freely given to you by your death,
burial and resurrection in Christ. Don’t
delay: ask God to open your eyes to
SEE supernaturally as Christ wants
you to SEE and perceive these truths
that are spiritually discerned. I believe
God wants to open your eyes now
to this truth. This kingdom key will
sustain you throughout the year and
bring you peace and power to attain to
the goals He has personally given you
for 2019.
