Over the years, there are watermark moments that we can recall that have been “game changers” in our lives. We all have them. The good, the bad and the ugly.
My prayer is that today, you will begin to experience a game changer in your personal life. May you will look back and say, “On this day, I took steps to discovering my real self.” I declare that you will encounter Holy Spirit as He brings revelation to the words on this page. It is a new day, a fresh start and a season of hope that you can move into.
I want to start with a question: “Who are you?” I would like to take it one step further... “Who are you in Christ? And who is Christ in you?” Of course, this is a loaded question and it is literally part of the journey you’ve been on since you were formed in your mother’s womb.
You see, “The Father has a dream. ...He has a dream of a Church that is powerful, beautiful and dreadful to the enemy. He has a dream about a people on earth so radically affected by Him that they are ...a people who are just like Him — unchangeable, unshakeable and unstoppable.” (Prophetic word by Graham Cooke in 2008). It is when we step up to the plate and are willing to receive an upgrade on how God sees us and how we are known in heaven, we will become the fulfillment of this dream that Father God has.
“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9) God is looking for those who will trust Him and is taking us on a journey to a place where He can trust us. He longs to have fellowship with us (when you really know someone); the ordinary, simple folk... ones that have been rejected, betrayed, abandoned, and over-looked. He wants to fashion us into people of real significance; those who truly know who Jesus is and what He is for you/me. “What you think of God is the most important thought you are ever going to have,” says Cooke.
If we truly know who God is and how we are known in heaven, we will know how to live within ourselves and towards others irrespective of how they behave towards us. It gives us the confidence to truly live out who we were created to be. Graham Cooke suggests that he “...would go so far as to say that people’s behavior towards you is utterly irrelevant. What matters is who you are and how you show up. When those people around you know your true identity, then they have to act accordingly towards you.”
How would it feel to actually live your life free of the need to please people or to avoid people at all costs because you know who you were created to be and fully live that out? What a place of freedom!
I’m sure you’re wondering how you find out who you really are created to be. Every one of you has an identity that Heaven knows you by. Let me take you on a journey for the next few weeks to help you discover more about who you are and how you are known in heaven. To understand who you are is a game changer!
Stay tuned next week to learn how you can be unchangeable, unshakeable and unstoppable!
