Finding your true identity

God intends for all people to find their identity in Christ. When you started a relationship with Jesus, he gave you a new spirit, and you are no longer the same person you were before you became a Christian. However, you’ll keep learning and growing every day for the rest of your life as you steadily become more like Jesus.

A person without a true identity will live carelessly, wasting time and getting into too many troubles. Because you weren't designed to be that way, you'll find yourself more frustrated than ever. Your true identity allows you to mold your life the way it is supposed to be. Discover who you are today in Christ and have the confidence to be that person.

Prayer for finding your true identity.

Thank you for everything you've done for me, Lord. I thank you for all of the wonderful blessings you continue to bestow on me.

Remind me that I am your child and a member of the royal family, and that nothing and no one can change that.

I pray that you enlighten my thinking so that I can recognize my own identity and not be persuaded by others' negative influences. Lord, may I become whatever you want me to be.

I pray in Jesus' name, Amen. You are aware of my everyday hardships, Lord. You are the only one who understands what I am going through. Amen.

(Read Genesis 1:26)

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
