Who'd You Say You Are

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise.
Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.
Micah 7:8 NIV

When it comes to who we are, do we believe the lies of the enemy of our souls, or do we believe what the Word of God declares about who we are? We already know the enemy's lies because we hear them every day. How often do we hear or read the Truth of God's Word over the facts of our lives? Find out who you are. Start here.

It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, He had His eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose He is working out in everything and everyone.

It’s in Christ that you, once you heard the truth and believed it (this Message of your salvation), found yourselves home free—signed, sealed, and delivered by the Holy Spirit. This signet from God is the first installment on what’s coming, a reminder that we’ll get everything God has planned for us, a praising and glorious life...

...All this energy issues from Christ: God raised Him from death and set Him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from His rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which He speaks and acts, by which He fills everything with His presence. Ephesians 1:11-14, 20-23 The Message 

So, When it comes to who we are, do we believe the lies of the enemy of our souls, or do we believe what the Word of God declares about who we are?

Prayer:

Father, 

         I ask You - the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make us intelligent and discerning in knowing You personally, our eyes focused and clear, so that we can see exactly what it is You are calling us to do, that we may grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life You have for Your followers. Fill us with a fresh and overwhelming desire to read Your Word - to know You. We give You praise for the utter extravagance of Your work in us who trust You.  Father, give us endless energy and boundless strength! In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
