Power of Stolen identity

Key Scripture: “The thief comes only to steal kill and destroy.” John 10:10

Power Point:

A very large problem in our country right now is that thieves are stealing people’s identities. Then they reshape those identities. They have access to every thing in someone's life and can totally destroy a person.  

As large a problem as this is in the natural it is also a huge problem in the supernatural.  You see, Beloved, when you became a child of God you received an incredible inheritance, complete with a new identity. You have been given the same authority and power that Jesus has.  You have been anointed with the same Spirit that anointed Jesus. You have the same assignment in the kingdom that Jesus did, to do good, to be more than a conqueror in life and to live an above and beyond kind of life. So-are you? Or has your identity been stolen?

Has Satan been able to sneak into your mind and convince you that you are not who God says you are and that what God says you have is not really yours? Has he convinced you that you are too unworthy, too bad, too “everything” so that God could not possibly have made you His heir? In other words, do you believe you just don’t deserve it?  Has he convinced that you that the whole idea is too “far out” and way over the top?

Well guess what Beloved of God. You woke up this morning loved, blessed and treasured by your heavenly Father. And very, very rich! How amazing is that? You can read about it in your Bible. Ephesians is the perfect manual for discovering what your new identity is and how to use it. Corinthians tells us that we are a new creation created for good things. Peter tells us that God has given us everything we could possibly need for this life through God’s promised inheritance. In fact, Jesus says we’ll have abundance in this life, more than we could ever need.  It’s far out and way over the top! I think that’s grace and that’s just the way God always measures things.

Identity theft is a real issue. It happens to believers who do not believe and do not receive their inheritance. The difference in the world’s view of identity theft and that of the Spirit is this. In the world, it is stolen from us but in the spiritual realm we often give it up all by ourselves. You are the only one who can stop the destruction of your role in God’s kingdom. You are the only one who can bury your inheritance in the ground. You are the only one that can restore what has been stolen from you. How? Find out who God says you are. Read the book of Ephesians until you understand what Jesus died to give you.  Ask Holy Spirit to replace the lies that steal your identity with Truth that establishes you as an heir of the King.

Power Thought:

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe."  Ephesians 1:18,19
