WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Welcoming you never gets old and this month 

 it's all about the question, "Who do you think you are?"

So who do you think you really are?  

Typically, the question is asked in a demeaning manner and we start defending  ourselves through our achievements, profession, race, gender and more.   

Yet, when  the question comes from our Heavenly Father who thinks about us constantly, it takes on a whole new meaning.


The first time I thought about that question all I could answer was, "I'm a Christian, loved by God and on my way to Heaven." 

 I had no idea of the breadth and depth of God's answer.     

                  

Or that is was rooted in God's love. 

What's more, when I heard Carlie Terradez explain it,  I was blown away because I had been missing out on who I really am. 

Perhaps you are  too. . .

SO WHO DOES GOD THINK YOU ARE? 

About ten years ago, I was driving home and grumbling because I hadn't accomplished what I had worked so hard for over the last ten years.  Suddenly I heard the Lord say, "When are you going to start seeing yourself like I do?"  

Stunned, I instantly knew what my problem was.  I was comparing myself to how others viewed me rather than how God viewed me. And, I had to learn how and what God thought about me. 

This was a process, that over time took me to Carlie Terradez "I am" confessions that God gave to her during one of her own pity parties.

To jump start your thinking, Carlie  offers a sample of who God thinks you are: 

"I am a party waiting to happen, 1 Peter 1:8!  Angels rejoice over me, demons flee from me, James 4:7, and God himself dances over me with singing, Zephaniah 3:17.  I am the bearer of good news, Isaiah 52:7, a minister of reconciliation, 2 Corinthians 5:18, the carrier of the King of Glory, Colossians 1:27" followed by 25 plus more "I am" statements! 

Access your powerful "I am" confessions  here. Recite them, think about them, ask God to confirm His I am statements to you in ways that are unique and personal to you and your thinking will change!

Want to know how God changed the Terradez family's  thinking that resulted in several powerful healings, a move from the UK to the United States, enrollment in Charis Bible College and their own Abundant Life Ministry? 

 In the Inside Story > Episode 52, the Terradez's transparency reveal that God's power is available to anyone.

YOUR TRUE IDENTITY and AUTHORITY in CHRIST

Aligning yourself with God's thinking reveals your true identity and authority in Christ. 

For me, this took more time because I had to purge years of toxic thinking that separated me from my true identity.  

I didn't even know what authority I had because I had never heard of an identity in Christ!  

Now I've learned my real identity and authority (and yours too)

is a learning and lifestyle process rooted in a loving relationship with Christ. Praise God!

For testimonies about who you are in Christ and 

your authority see:      

    

• Benjamin Esau's powerful delivery from death to life 

• Merci Santo's healing from muscular dystrophy
