“You are mine,” says the Lord.

But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. (Isaiah 43:1-2)

As a child of God who is redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ you now belong to God.

According to dictionary.com, ownership means legal right of possession; proprietorship.

God has the legal rights to you because you were bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20).

You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God had prepared for you to walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

Therefore, Satan has no rights to you – body, soul and spirit.

Satan knows his limitations and will try to intimidate you with his scare tactics.

He will remind you of your past failures and make it appear as if you will never amount to anything.

He will plague your mind with fear and doubt. But, stay focus on the fact that God has selected you and called you by name.

You belong to God!

Because God has the legal rights to you, you also have the legal rights to God.

So, assert your legal rights by becoming familiar with your inheritance in God and do not allow the enemy to unlawfully arrest you.

(Exodus 15:26)

• You have a right to safety and protection.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust. Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. (Psalms 91:1-3)
