There are many facets through which this may be expressed, as all are uniquely created by and in Him, but there is one common foundation. The focus of this message is to share the revelation that Father has given me. The ministry of reconciliation, is first to each of us individually, of course. There are many of us, who have walked in this knowledge, without understanding of it’s true depth, as far as the point of this message is concerned. Most are aware of the initial reconciling that takes place when we confess our sin, repent and ask Jesus to be the Lord of our lives; But there is a much deeper revelation available. How many of you have ever experienced, in any relationship, that the more deeply you invested in that relationship, the more you became like the other person?

 Their manner of speaking became your own, their likes and dislikes became your own, etc. This is very much an image like that of Jesus and His disciples. They “put on Jesus”, because they invested themselves in Him, spending all of their time with Him both in person, and later by the communion of His Spirit within each of them.

 I’ve had my own experiences with others, wherein I would stand back and look at their person, and what I saw of them, seemed pretty “together”. I wanted to know if that seemed to be “me“, so I tried to do some of the same things that they did. I “put them on”, and attempted to behave as they did, even particularly tried to take on their same hobbies. It wasn’t until the Lord revealed this to me, that I realized I was searching for my true identity. I couldn’t find it. There were lots that looked really nice, but they didn’t “fit”. (Thankfully, Jesus is One size fits ALL! :big smile: )

 Moving on into the heart of what I’d like to share; There are those of us, whose foundation from the very beginning, was so defiled, that we became as fragmented beings. We no longer had an single (Matthew 6:22) identity in and of ourselves. We endured a very particular destruction, causing us to become “one of many”. The labels that I’m aware of, that the world uses for this kind of thing are Multiple Personality Disorder and Dis-associative Identity Disorder.

 The destruction of my foundation, by sexual abuse, robbed me of my identity from the very beginning. All purity, innocence, the essence of my being in His image, the very delicate essence of my being as a female, and more so, a daughter of God, was lost. All of these things for me, spell SELF-WORTH. Ironically, the things I would constantly pray for and without any understanding at all, were these very things. Now that the Truth is alive within me, I look back in awe, knowing Jesus was with me all the way. The loss however, of my identity, caused me to begin searching. Today I know who I am, because of Jesus, my identity is in Him. He has had to reconcile each piece of “me”, that was misplaced from brokenness.

 Some of these fragments I’d placed in the entities/persons of my family members (they being most familiar and easiest place for me to had started), other pieces in friends. Each part had to be “assimilated”, and subjected to Truth, thus delivering me from false images, the very first being my own false self image. When Jesus began this work, it was painful, because I had to be shown each piece of “who” I really was being, and when measured against His image, I could clearly see that, that piece of me, did not look like Him. As He revealed the how and why to me, (leading me to repentance) it was as if He wiped the surface of that piece, to show that it had some resemblance to Him, but it wasn’t until several were put together that I realized that I looked more like Him, than was first imagined; But yet, it is me too, I am His Daughter!

 This message was written for those precious people in need of a "Holy Defragging" session. While everyone needs healing of some sort, God knows the beginning from the end within each of us, and knows why there are those of us, whose identities (before the Truth of God) consist of many “likenesses“. There are many “people we’ve put on” due to the past, and we don’t know who we are, YET. I want to reach out to those who feel shattered inside, to say that it is God’s desire for you to be every whit WHOLE. He wants to reconcile all of the “pieces” unto Himself, and reveal to you, who you Truly are in Him.
 
 
To my sisters in Christ Jesus: He wants to be the Redeemer of Divine Destiny to/for you. I hope this encourages any who may be in such a condition, to run to Father right now, and ask Him to reveal to you, who you really are. You will find, that this very same person, is who He originally created you to be before the destruction, and in the end, you will know Him to truly be Restoration, through Reconciliation. It Truly is good news!
