Your Identity!

Are you letting your struggles identify you? Is misery your identity?
In our lives, challenges and trials are plentiful. They are indeed inescapable. The Bible says that we will all face them:

James 1:2-3
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.

This verse is not instructing us to celebrate after every trial but it is encouraging and reminding us of our Heavenly rewards to come to those who persevere. But has complaining about those trials become your routine course of action? In other words, has misery become your identity?
You see the devil would like nothing better in making your struggles become your identity. He's trying to persuade some to give up. He has fallen and wants to draw as many Christians to him.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Mark 4:17
And they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately they fall away.

Don't believe any of the devil's lies. You are victorious through Jesus!

John 16:33
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

1 John 5:4
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

Don't let the devil keep you in misery! Our faith in Jesus is our victory.
Jesus is your identity!

All Christians have to define themselves as whom do you belong. You belong to Jesus or you belong to satan. Our true identity comes from heaven as one beloved by God. This should be our true self. Other identities that come along is false or a simple illusion. Jesus clearly defined whom do we belong and our true identity. He said, "By their fruits ye shall know them." If you belong to Jesus then you will love Him with all your heart, mind and soul. Serve Him, obey His word and do what He did. If you belong to the devil, then, your heart will be full of hate, anger, rage and you will not be able to sleep at night because devils will give you nightmares. Cast out satan in the name of Jesus and he will flee from you.

Sing your praise to the Lord, I can never tell you how good it feels to praise Jesus for what He did. Our true identity comes from Him alone and that is one good reason to praise and honor the Jesus. You are engraved in the palm of My hand...said the Lord. What a wonderful promise and truth that comes from His own heart. All glory, all honor and all praise to God almighty. He has chosen us from the beginning of the earth to be His very own. My heart belongs to Him and He belongs to me. I shall forever honor His name.

The great I Am, the Lord of hosts is His name. We must identify with Him because He is our heavenly Father who love us with an everlasting love. Precious Jesus, awesome in glory, preparing in us your holy temple. We were born as living stones where You are enthroned. We live to serve You, to love You, to adore your holy name. Amen

I bless the Lord our God for giving us an eternal identity in which no one will be able to take away from us. I identify with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who died for me on Calvary's cross. I shall forever bless His holy name. Amen
