“You have EVERYTHING you NEED!
Chose to walk in JOY and STRENGTH!”
When I got to the teaching the next morning, the Lord spoke heavily to me in the opening prayer. HE said, “Your identity is in me and that should be enough.” You know when you are listening to music on full blast and you forget to turn it down, only to find the next time you turn your music on it about knocks you out-that is EXACTLY the feeling I had when the Lord spoke to me those words.
Why do I CARE so much what others THINK of me? Why do I FEAR when I know I have NOTHING to fear? Why do I BUILD walls that keep people at a DISTANCE? Why do I feel REJECTED by the people who care for me the most? You want to know why?
It is because I am HUMAN.
It is only by the grace of God and by his love for us that we can chose to walk into complete freedom. The decision is up to me, though. I can either walk down the wide path or chose to walk down the narrow one. Well, I chose the narrow.
ISN’T THAT WHAT ALL FOLLOWERS LONG FOR?
Once the prayer ended I felt the Lord calling me to write declarations about myself and I was going to do it after the morning session, but then the speaker started to the ask the question, “Who are you?” That was basically ALL the confirmation I needed.
So here I go. This is me-like it or not, this is who God has called me to be. I will NO longer allow fear to run my life. I will NO longer allow rejection to bring me down. I am NOT awkward, but completely sure. For I am God’s chief creation; the crown of all HIS splendor. That counts for something, doesn’t it?

I AM HIS AND HE IS MINE…
NOW I KNOW WHO I AM.
I know at times I say I do not know my identity, but the truth is…I do! All that matters is that I am of Christ. Yes, I am constantly changing and growing-I am constantly going from glory to glory. However, I am the promise and the promise is always YES. The Lord says all these things about me, so why do I always question HIM? I can no longer deny who I am-I am going to walk in my redeemed identity for when has God ever done me wrong? All that is good comes from HIM and all that is bad, God has redeemed. HE is using me to further HIS kingdom; I must be important then.
I am HIS and HE is MINE.
That is ALL that REALLY matters.
