How to KNOW what others think about YOU (Part 2)

• To know what others think about you, determine your intention, decide upon your  impression.
• Make a decision to think, say, and do what you want people to think of you.
• This decision should match God's decision for you to be His imitation. 

When people think of you, they should think that you are like God.

What people should feel when they come around you is the very presence of God,

with you and in you.

When it is your intention to be known in this way, and to be felt this way, you will be.  People will see what you want them to see and feel what you want them to feel.


"But how can I be sure of this, and should I even care what people think?"


Jesus was sure of how he came across, and he cared about what people said about him.  One day he had this interaction with his followers:




When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”  They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”  “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?"  Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:13-16 NIV

Jesus asked this question because he cared to know what his followers and others thought about Him.  He didn't care about this because of insecurity or vanity.  Jesus came to reveal the truth about who God is and what God is really like.  He cared that people knew the truth about God.  So should you.  You were made to reveal what Jesus is like, wherever you are.  People should see what Jesus would be like if he were in your place or position.  You determine this by your intention. 

Do you want people to see and feel Jesus when they think about and experience you?  Then make that decision.

If you agree, pray with me:

God, you made me to know you and be like you.  I give myself to you for this purpose.  In Jesus name, amen.

Now say,
"I am a man (or a woman), God's image and likeness and glory.  Feel God in me; feel God with me."

Before you enter a room, before you interact with anyone, pray for Christ's Spirit to fill you, and say the words above.  By doing those two things, people will think these thoughts about you, "He/she is like God."  They will feel God's presence with you and in you. 


How do you know what others think about you?  Your impression upon men and women is your decision, the result of your intention.  It's up to you what people think of you.
