As children of God, we have a true identity in Him. He chooses our purpose, path, and priorities. We can rebel against His plans for us or trust in His sovereignty.

For example, God has told me that I am His Apostle and Prophet. I could buy into the deceit of the enemy delivered through his minions that say I’m not qualified and chosen by God. Or I could humbly walk under God’s authority and divine calling. He can deal with those who speak against His choices.

This morning while I was doing my morning exercises I had a YouTube ambience video playing on the television. It depicted gentle rain falling with an autumn view outside the window. There was a fireplace crackling and candlelight glowing. It calmed my perspective while I stretched and pained through the daily routine towards getting in shape. But when it was time to press the off button on the television remote, I had to shift my perspective to plan my clothing for the day. I could choose gear suited for the ambience video or instead what the reality weather required.

It’s the same concept with our identity. We can choose to accept our identity as God determines or we can choose a fake identity that is driven by a narrative from other than God. We can let the devil and his deceit define us or we can choose to see ourselves as God sees us. If you are not sure what God wants from your life, then you must seek Him daily and ask Him. There is nothing more certain than hearing God speak His will over you and to you.

Faith requires being sure of God’s spoken words to you. It doesn’t require faith to listen to the lies of the enemy and morph into his fake identity politics. Know who you are and whose you are!
