Who Are You?

Dear friend,


Identity is what God wanted to talk to me about. Who are you? People are scrambling to this camp and the next, desperate to feel at home. To feel included. To stand under a banner and be accepted.


The enemy watches and flames the flames of identity politics and wanderings.


You see, for most people, he doesn't have to try to get them to rob a bank or take someone's life to steal their promise, he just has to confuse them about who they are and where they are from.


He has to get them looking all around rather than up to see where they belong.


Right now the enemy is playing in identity. He knows that if who you are is rooted in something temporary, you will lose sight of the eternal. 


There's nothing wrong with earthly affiliations as secondary identities. When Paul said, "There is no man, nor woman, no Jew no Greek," he didn't mean those things no longer exist. He was saying they are secondary identities to our primary ones in Christ.


The enemy lost his heavenly identity and wants you to lose yours, too. That’s why he longs for people to keep their eyes on things below. Because where your heart is, your treasure will be also.


What do you treasure the most about who you are? Is your primary identity rooted firmly in the One through whom all things were formed: Jesus?


Jesus says, “Look up. I am coming back soon.” He wants you to keep your identity & heart firmly rooted in Him above all things.


In this episode, I share what God showed and told me about how to do that in these times.


Listen here.

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
