Do you know who you are?
The more you know who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will reflect your true identity, not your worldly identity. If you are living an insecure, defeated, depressed, jealous life or a prideful, selfish, bitter, angry life you are identifying with the world.
Are you insecure? Do you lack confidence because you don't think you are good enough? Are you looking for validation by trying to get everyone to like you? Are you always thinking what is wrong with me?
Are you prideful? Do you lack patience because you think your way is the only right way? Are you looking for validation by controlling other peoples lives? Are you always thinking what is wrong with everyone else?
To live an effective Christian life you need to know and believe who you are in Christ by renewing your mind. The best way to renew your mind and experience transformation is by knowing, thinking and speaking who you are in Christ.
12:2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
that was very good. we need to know that God is with us everywhere we go even to work and school. i know that im a living for God and its the way to glory
Destiny - Jesus is always waiting with both arms to lift us up...even after we have fallen down. It is only by going through the refiners fire that we come out as pure gold. God bless you. Thanks for your comments.
Great Song!! Love it, I'm going to ask the praise team leader at church if they will learn it. Great words of truth that brings us life!! Amen Thank you!! I KNOW WHO I AM , Oh yeah, Praise the Lord!!

Prepare the way of the Lord! Join us at the Carrollton campus main sanctuary for three nights of life-changing services as we seek the LORD for His will and His way in our lives. Members from all campuses are invited to be part of this ministry time as we seek the hand of God in the week leading up to Easter. http://www.covenantchurch.org
Rebekah - I am sorry to hear you have decided to leave MC. You have been such an encourager...you will be missed. Thank you Rebekah, but do you believe all those scriptures? Do you understand who you are in Christ? It takes a renewed mind not to be moved by what people might or might not have said or done. When Christ transforms your mind you will have the confidence not to need continual reassurance and be able to live a victorious life free from depression, delusions, insecurities, jealousy, and strife. I love you Rebekah and will be praying for you.
Try reading the above list every day for a month, preferably out loud. The more you know who you are in Christ, the more your behavior will reflect your true identity. Choose to believe what God says about you. Train yourself to say the same things that God says in His word. Become who you are in Christ. God wants to do more in your life than you imagine.
Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus, cause Rebekah to hear your loving kindness every morning, for in you she must trust. Help her to know the way in which she should walk as she lifts up her soul to you. (Ps 143:8-10) Synchronize her life with Your perfect, will, agenda and calendar. Superimpose Your will over the will of evil spirits and evil men. Empower her to serve You in holiness and righteousness. Dismantle evil powers working to frustrate her day. Rescue her from the enemy, as she hides herself in you. Close the gates of death and seal up the doors of affliction, torment and pain. Let her have a new, refreshed, cutting-edge kingdom mentality. Everything that pertains to her life and godliness and everything prepared for her before the foundation of the world must be released in its correct time and season. We command everything be release in the name of Jesus. We declare that there will be no substitutes, no holdups, no setbacks and no delays. Since your Word is a lamp unto her feet, and a light unto her path, she will neither stumble nor fall. In the name of Jesus she is healed and Spirit filled; mental sickness and disease are far from her. She will persist until she succeeds. She walks in dominion and the authority of Jesus' name. Her life is characterized by the liberty wherein Jesus has set us free. Her faith is steadfast and unfaltering. The zeal of the Lord fills her soul and spirit. Let there be no demonic encroachment. Let there be no satanic squatters - in the name of Jesus, get off her property, get off her territory, get out of her sphere of influence, get out of her family, relationships, finances, body and mind. We command mountains to be removed and to be cast into the sea. Father, She waits to see Your finished product. She looks forward to the day that she will be transformed into the image of your Son. Her heart's deepest desire is to be like Him. We ask all this in the name of your son Jesus. Amen.
Gwen - Thank you...you are a blessing! I will continue to keep you and you family in prayer.
Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus, minister to Gwen and her sisters. I pray for a hedge of protection around them and their families. Guide their paths and surround them with your loving kindness, protection, and healing. Bring restoration to their bodies, finances, and relationships. We ask all this in the name of your son Jesus. Amen.
"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:3-5)
