Kingdom Identity
The dictionary says out identity is defined as a combination of our physical and behavioral traits that define who we are. We were trained early in life to identifying with who the world says we are, but God has a much better plan for our life. We must experience a spiritual metamorphosis to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised every one of us. A metamorphosis is a transformation or an exchange of one identity for another.
It is high time the church breaks out of the religious box that for hundreds of years we have been stuck in. The wakeup call is now, the trumpet has sounded, and we must heed the call and realize that it’s not about playing church any longer, it is about now taking our rightful place as the church with all the power and authority he has given us. Jesus said, it is finished. He has done lifting; we must do our part.
Many keep trying to pour in new wine into those old religious wineskins and those wineskins just break and all that wonderful new wine of revelation and wisdom spills onto the floor wasted because of man’s traditions and beliefs.
There are many ways to describe our true identity. The only thing that matters is who God says we are. This is what he says about you and me.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are A CHOSEN FAMILY, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Say this with me, I am a co-heir with Christ (the will has been read and you already possess the inheritance)
Let us read the will together.
1. I have the mind of Christ.
2. I have been declared perfect.
3. I am totally forgiven (no more guilt, shame, or condemnation)
4. I am loved unconditionally by God (this love is not based on our behavior)
5. I have been set free from the law of sin and death.
6. He has equipped me with everything I need to have an abundant life.
7. I will live forever.
These are just a few of the wonderful things we have inherited from the Father. One of the most important things not mentioned is we are his children, not outsiders, we are family. We can go into daddy’s throne room anytime we want to spend time with him and laugh and cry as we pour our heart out to him and listen carefully to his counsel.
