Identity Crisis

We look into a broken mirror.  The people around us will easily put tags on us like incapable, not worthy, ugly... these are all tags that we weren't born with but as people spoke it over us we started believing it.  The scary part is that these tags we took and made our own, actually became out identity!  Now we are standing in front of problems or obstacles in our lives and we struggle to over come because our self esteem screams: "you will never make it!"   We know that God gave us authority over everything and that we are made sons and daughters through the blood of Christ.  But then why, when the enemy comes, we as Christians drop and play dead?  We become pushovers in the Spirit because we think we are who the world says we are.  God's opinion about us however, is different!

1 Corinthians 6:11 "And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 

 We need to realize this!  God made us righteous and none of the world's opinions about us can change this.  We are saved, we are set free, we are righteous and we are victorious.  The moment we start realizing this and stand our ground the enemy can't but give way.

2 Corinthians 5:2 "For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

1 Corinthians 1:30-31 "And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

The price has been paid.  There is no sense in leaving something behind in a store after someone else bought it for you.  In this case God bought us sonship, righteousness and life with the blood of Christ!  Lets take it and run with it!
