Holy Identity in Spite of Abuses.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A holy identity is one that is rooted in Christ and not the choices and behavior of others; regardless of what has happened. 

We may have to pull away in order to know who we are created to be.

Sometimes God waits to get us alone to shake us aware.

Just like a skilled fighter, one must know [only] when to fight and what to fight for or against.

We also must be very aware of what and how we are speaking. Purposing to connect God's Word with the mouth, knowing it all should come from Him; so speaking as He would, confirming all by His Word.

Remember,it is with His Word that we make something out of 'nothing';

Romans4:16-19

Therefore,[inheriting] the promise depends entirely on faith [that is,confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be given as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] guaranteed to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [Jewish believers] who keep the Law, but also for those [Gentile believers] who share the faith of Abraham, who is the[spiritual] father of us all—

(as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. 

In hope against hope Abraham believed that he would become a father of many nations, as he had been promised [by God]: “So [numberless]shall your descendants be.” Without becoming weak in faith he considered his own body, now as good as dead [for producing children]since he was about a hundred years old, and [he considered] the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

So it is by/in Him that the most difficult place[s] breed revival. Revival should and can come from the most desperate, even volatile place; it's pure then.

Do you actually welcome Him into your fire?

Knowing that God delivers us In, not from.

Despite all things, we can no longer give the devil a seat at our table that God Himself has prepared for you. Remembering that God is your Provider, your Provision, your Protection, your Deliverer and the devil is nothing more than a stealer, a killer and a destroyer. He seeks to use you as a Pawn against the King of kings.

What we hold in us if we are a new creation in Christ, is the Holy Spirit,and that is truly extraordinary. We become the salt and light for/to the world, because of Him.

So never listen to the enemy telling you that;

>You're never going to make it.

>You're not good enough.

>Everybody is against you.

Keep before yourself that which is already at the Table that He has prepared for you in the presence of your enemies!

And what does He provide for your table?

>Himself,and all that He is

>His Word, and all of His Promises.

>His will, and the ability of knowing it.

God seeks you first, He wants to come sit at your table, in front of 'them', those enemies of the past, the world and the Enemy; know that He has brought every provision for your every need to that table.
