Identity

If someone you know tells you something you know is a lie, you’d pass it off as what it really is – a lie. You know better than to believe lies. Even though it was told you, and you heard it, it still remains a lie. You’d have to act on it to make happen. Until you do something about it, it remains unproductive. In the same way, our mind has been trained over the years to believe what this physical world tells us, instead of what God tells us by His Spirit and Word. We’ve come to believe that the physical, more tangible world is our primary source of information and truth – IT’S NOT. Our world is Eternity. That’s our truth.

You cannot be any more like Jesus than you are now. You are exactly as He is… He destroyed all imperfections, weakness and flaws at the cross. He became our inadequacies so we could be complete. You are perfect in everything. You are flawless, whole, indestructible. You are one with the Spirit of Life. You are soaking abundant Life. There is no deterioration or decay of any form in Abundant Life.

Our citizenship is from Heaven.. we’re not of this world, just as Jesus is. Our home is the Father. We live and move and have our being IN Him. Abiding in Him gives us the ability and authority to manifest all His glory to this fallen world and proclaim Him. The fabric of our being is soaked in the very life of who He is. We’re made of Him – we’re Spirit. We’re made in His Image and likeness – according to Him in righteousness and true Holiness – Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We cannot be any more like Him – we’re exactly as He is. We’re His sons.

Grace is about God and His nature. It is not a concept, neither is it something that can be understood through our mental faculties. The true revelation of grace comes by a relationship with the Father through Jesus. Grace is an experience of the goodness of God. It is something we are living in, as new creation. Grace is the life of the New Man.

Righteousness is a state of being. It is our nature and the most fundamental attribute of our New Creation Identity. This righteousness helps us get into a personal relationship with Jesus because we know He sees us as He is. As citizens of Heaven our very nature is manifested in this world from that seat of ‘true righteousness and holiness.’ When we realise the righteousness we have been established in, our confidence to dominate this physical reality grows. This is our Identity.

Your mind may periodically paint a reality with information it gathers from our physical world and it’s different from what your Father tells you. It’s not the truth and it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter if it comes into your mind, it doesn’t matter if you still think about it. You are spirit — that’s your reality. That’s all you know, and it’s all that matters. Your reality is what your new nature tells you, not what your mind says!
