Introduction:

One of the most powerful things you can do to improve your life is to embrace your new Identity in Christ.

God invested time and energy to put you here at this time and this place. He created you in His image and built you with great gifts and talent to do good. He has great plans for you and high expectations.  Your potential has been limited by the sinful nature you inhereted from Adam and the lessons you have learned and habits you have develooped in the fallen world you grown up in. Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to free you from that sinful nature and release your full potential.  A key part of unlocking your full potential is understanding who you are now that you have confessed your sins, repented and turned from them, and accepted Jesus as your lord and savior.

You are no longer the same person you were before; Your spirit had been born again, You have been reconnected with God the Father through Jesus, Your past has been covered by Jesus blood,  Your heart has been warmed so you feel more compassion for others, and you now wish to live a better life with God rather than continuing on apart from Him. This change is your own personal miracle. 

I find that few Christians understand the full extent of these changes, and what they mean to them in practical terms. They miss out on the full power of what Jesus has done for them, and as a result don’t life the life God intended when He put them here.

To get this right, We need to get our heart interested enough to devote the energy to pursue it, then get our mind engaged to understand what this is all about, then see value and practical application in the path it offers, then get our heart and soul to embrace it with committment and conviction.    

The most effective way I have found to get our head, heart, soul and spirit all aligned and engaged on your new Identity in Christ is to declare your intentions. When you assemble and understand God’s written words for you, and you speak them outloud with the authoirty you have been given, you begin to see from a new perspective. As you work through questions and gain deeper understanding, you become aligned and begin to embrace this new identity and your role in God’s grand scheme . Your mind is renewed and you begin to see Gods perfect will for you.

Here is a strawman for your consideration. Read this outloud and notice any points where you have questions or doubt. Work through the related scriptures and ask questions. Become more bold as you go and you will see confidence and Faith beginning to fill you and empower you. Let me know how this works for you.
