WHO I AM IN CHRIST 1
Lesson 3 Helmet of Hope
1. From the following scriptures make your own declaration of who you are in Christ.
A. (Colossians 2:10). I am _________________________________________________
Colossians 2:10 (AMP) 10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in
Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual
stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
B. (Ephesians 2:5). I am __________________________________________________
Ephesians 2:5 (AMP) 5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and

Romans 8:37
The phrase “More than Conquerors” in the Greek is “hupernikao” and means “to conquer, to carry off to victory, to come off victorious.” However, the word “huper” attached to “nikao,” means “above” thus, “to come off more than Victorious, to gain a surprising Victory.”
“I am more than a conqueror through him that loves me.”

SYLLABUS 3
Helmet of Hope
Another word for confession is testimony. We read in the book of Revelation, “They overcame
him [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).

![Page 9: €¦ · Web viewEphesians 1:4 (AMP) 4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022090220/5f6456efd520e622d105067d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
We have acknowledged that we overcome Satan when we testify personally to what the
Word of God says the blood of Jesus does for us. Testimony is a very simple thing—just saying
words that agree with Scripture. Testimony saves us; it is our protection. We cannot
overemphasize its importance.
The writer of Hebrews called Jesus the “High Priest of our confession” (Hebrews 3:1).
Confession literally means “saying the same as.” For us, as believers in the Bible and in Jesus
Christ, confession means saying with our mouths the same thing that God says in His Word. We
make the words of our mouths agree with the Word of God. Jesus can advocate on our behalf
only when we make the right confession. Whether we call it “testimony” or “confession,” it is
indispensable in order for us to receive the salvation of God.
Jesus said, “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be
condemned” (Matthew 12:37). We settle our destinies by the words that we speak outwardly or
to ourselves. James said the tongue is like the rudder on a ship; even though it is a small part of
the ship, it determines exactly where the ship will go. (See James 3:4.) We determine the course
of our lives by the way in which we use our tongues or how we program our minds. We can say
the right thing and make our words agree with the Word of God, or we can say the wrong thing
and cause our lives to go off course. We will either come safely to harbor or end in shipwreck
according to how we use our words.
