Do You Know Who You Are? Don't Suffer An Identity Crisis!

While riding to work this morning, I listened Jonathan Nelson's song, My Name Is Victory! As I jammed, I thought about how many people have IDENTITY ISSUES. Christians too have identity issues, it's not just the lost souls. I have included the lyrics to the song and it's all found in THE BOOK! That's the evidence they are singing about is in the Word of God. How can God get glory from a person living a defeated life?!? God wants us to succeed because we are His creations. We are supposed to help point people to Christ. If you are living a defeated life, how can you draw someone to the God that you serve? We are Victorious! We are MORE than conquerors! It's all in the Word!



I've got evidence I've got confidence I'm a conqueror I know that I win!
I know who I am, God wrote it in his plan for me!
MY NAME IS VICTORY!
God gave me AUTHORITY

To conquer THE ENEMY

He wrote in MY DESTINY

That my name is VICTORY

He said that I've OVERCOME

I know I've ALREADY WON

He wrote in my DESTINY

That my name is VICTORY

I know who I am God wrote it in His plan for me!

MY NAME IS VICTORY!

I know my identity, my name is victory!!

Victory... That's my name... Victory.... I KNOW WHO I AM!!!!

What Are You Afraid Of?

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
