Becoming In Faithنموونە

The final stage—you have become. This is who you are. 

“I am a masterpiece. I am chosen, holy, loved, and blameless. In the sight of God, I am clean. I am not ashamed that I felt when I was young. That is not who I am. And you can say anything bad about me. You can speak the stranger’s voice. You can agree with what I believed when I was a child. You can say anything you want but you can’t hurt me because I know who I am and I am a daughter of the king. I am loved by him. He loves me and because of that, his love lives in me and you can’t hurt me. Not because I’m defensive, but because I am so filled. My cup has a bottom. It is filled to the rim and overflowing, so much so that at this point, I don’t have to say, ‘fill up my cup.’” I can say to others, ‘Hey would you like to have a drink? I have all of this to give and I want to share it with you.’” How awesome is that? 

It’s easy to make confessions about who you are in Christ, but apart from an intimate relationship with the Father, you will not live in the abundance of knowing your true identity. It will be a sad day if we had a really good confession and no intimacy with the father God. 

So I want to encourage you to become more intimate with the Lord. Get on your knees and say, “God, I desperately need to know your love. I want to know the depth and the height. I have to know it more. I may know it to a degree, but I know I don’t know it as much as I can because it’s a deep well. It’s so deep, it’s so full, I can’t even understand it.” 

With this intimacy with God and saying yes to Him every day, we can start tuning in and truly hear the shepherd’s voice and tuning out the voice of the stranger. This way, we become virtually unoffendable because we are so deep in the Father’s heart. This is truly becoming who we are in Christ!
