Who am I?
Identity starts with being a child of God
Galatians 3:26
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 4:6
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
Identity continues into love
John 13:35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Identity is found in Christ
Jeremiah 29:11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'”
Jeremiah 1:5
4 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying:
5 ” Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Exodus 9:16
But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 20:4
May He grant you according to your heart’s desire, And fulfill all your purpose.
Romans 11:29
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
Identity extends into the body
Romans 12:5
so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Expect Opposition
John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
Conclusion
So, where are you today? Do you identify with your circumstances and try to bring the LORD glory in all that you do or do you see yourself as a victim.
Have you defined victory and are selfishly waiting for that to happen? Or do you love God and love others right where you are?
What is God’s call on your life? Are you there?
Has the enemy of our souls risen up to meet you? Is he winning? Are you like Elijah and ready to die?
Do you believe that God is good and has a plan for your life? Will you let Him get the glory from your situation?
