Power Of Stolen Identity


Key Scripture: "I pray that He will give light to the eyes of your hearts so that you will understand the hope to which He has called you, what rich glories there are in the inheritance He has promised his people, and how surpassingly great is His power working in us who trust Him."  Ephesians 1:18, The Complete Jewish Bible.
Power Point:
     On Friday, my friend Julie's Facebook account was hacked.  The funny thing is we were sitting together in her car when I got an email from Facebook that she wanted to be my FRIEND.  Hah!  That’s pretty funny since we've been ”friends” for years. As I looked into the info from her, I noticed that the information was mostly incorrect.  As the day progressed, people who thought the message was from her responded and ended up in some sort of a money scam. ICK!  Anyway, as we were talking about all this, she made the comment that someone had stolen her identity. Then I realized that that was exactly what had happened.  They used HER name, and HER friendships to gain an advantage they didn't deserve, based on her reputation.
     Then I realized that the woman who sent out the "Power UP!" under HER name had done the same thing. She had tried to steal MY identity.  She took my name and my heart and my relationship with Holy Spirit, and tried to pretend they were hers, which of course, they weren't.
     Sometimes we allow other people to steal our identities don't we?  We allow them to convince us that we aren't really what God says we are. We're too this or that to be loved by Him.
     Sometimes we steal our own identities don't we?  We refuse to believe that we are who HE says we are.
    I realized that the most effective tool of the enemy is to steal God's identity.  Satan has done everything he could since his fall from heaven to convince us that God is not Who He says He is and He will not do what He said He would do!  He works overtime trying to convince us that who we are IN CHRIST, is not as good as who we could be with him.
Is he trying to steal your identity today?
Is he telling you his favorite lies that will steal your power, your authority and your hope in God?
Is he telling you that you're not worthy of God's blessings?
Are you listening?
  
Here are some Truths to plant in your heart:

God SO loves you.  He calls you “Beloved”.
God sent Jesus to HELP you be free from the lies and walk in the GRACE and TRUTH of His own Holy Spirit.
He has chosen you to have all power and authority, through HIS victory, and HIS name to tread on all the power of the enemy.
He has chosen you to be anointed to bring heaven to earth.
He has chosen you to inherit the RICHES of His kingdom.
He has chosen you to live in confidence of His goodness.
He has chosen you to really, really LIVE!
You've been chosen by Him to be an overcomer.
He has chosen you to be protected by angels.
He has chosen you to have heavenly provision and heavenly deliverance.
He has chosen you to be transformed into a new creation. to be a world changer. Jesus was a world changer and you are becoming more like Him every day.

You've been filled with the wisdom and purposes of God for your life.  Stay connected to THAT!
Don't let Satan steal your identity anymore. Know who you are and know what you have in Jesus.  Jesus never let the devil steal His identity.  For heaven's sake don't let him steal yours!
What you believe about yourself and your God determines who you will become.

Power Thought:
“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
Mahatma Gandhi.
