I had the opportunity to preach one night at our first ministry we were at here in Ghana. I was hoping to go on the race without having to preach, but my turn finally arrived. At first I had no clue what I would talk about and I should tell you all that speaking in public is something that I am not fond of J But God gave me what I should say and it happened to be something that He is in the middle of taking me through- my identity, who I am in Christ. God has been getting me out of my comfort zone a lot while on the race and that night when I preached was no different. I am finding out that you can truly do anything for God and He is waiting to use us- you just have to be willing and most likely you will be taken out of your comfort zone. But now I am finding it easier to speak in front of large crowds and know that whatever I say God will use for His glory and His kingdom.

So back to my sermon . . .

God has been showing me how important my identity in Him is and how it is the center of everything! So I preached on who God says we are and it felt like I was preaching to myself the whole time J. Our identities in Christ is so important and I cannot stress it enough! God has been showing me how with all of the issues and problems I am having just about all relate back to my identity. We need to know who we are in Christ and truly believe what He says about us! That is where I am at right now- I can tell you everything that God says I am , but still do not truly believe it in my heart and that is where God is working in my right now. He keeps on showing me and telling me who I am in Him. I have listened to the lies of this world for so long regarding who I was that for the longest time I truly believed them. Those lies were so loud that I could not hear God whispering to me who He said I was. Lucky we serve a God who pursues us and does not relent until He has all of us- all of our lives, our hearts, even our identities in Him! 

 
 
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? 
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is with in us. Its not just in some of us; its in everyone! And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” 
~ Marianne Williamson

We live our lives in reference to how we see ourselves. If you believe you are a child of God, you will live as a child of God!
