Who We TRULY Are

This is something that I feel like I have to write out for myself. It’s become one of those things that I feel like if I share with all of you this deep revelation that I have, maybe I can sleep at night.

Let me just start out by saying that this weekend at the Encounter Retreat God moved in me. There was major shift in my spirit. I feel like the Lord revealed to me His character. I got to see a side of him that I never knew existed. Permanent change took place in me and I believe in some other people who were there as well. There was a deep revelation that was just stamped on my heart. It’s been hard to receive it (I’m not going to lie) but never the less it is the truth. Since I have been back from the Encounter I feel like I have been attacked. I am not surprised, our enemy would love for nothing more than to corrupt the revelation God gave me. I have pressed through and thought, what better way to stick it to him then to write it out on here and share it with all of you! So here we go.

When we FULLY receive Christ and all the work that he did for you on the cross, you then can realize that sin is no longer the truest thing about you. You are NOT your sin! God even tells us in his word, “I will put a new heart and put a new spirit in you” (Ezek 36:26). One of the biggest lies that I believe is being told in the church today is that we are nothing more than “sinners saved by grace.” We are SO much more than that. I don’t believe for a second that our loving Daddy God looks at us like that. We are new creations in Christ. I believe that when we have the break through and realize this it’s like God is reminded of when he FIRST created man and said that we were “VERY GOOD”. The crazy thing is, He already looked at us like that to begin with. We are just so complicated and we tend make things harder than what they are, we were too blind to see it! I mean the New Testament calls us saints, holy ones, and sons and daughters of the Most High God! We just need to understand that there is a war going on inside of us! I love how John Eldridge says it, but “it’s a civil war. The battle isn’t between us and God; no, there is a traitor within us who wars against out TRUE heart fighting alongside the Spirit of God in us.”

The Spirit of God is like a rushing wind, it clears the air, and it frees us up from a lifetime at the hands of sin and death. You who have welcomed him in, in whom he dwells…if the alive and present God who raised Jesus from the grave moves in you, he is faithful to do the same thing for you that he did for Jesus. When God breathes in you, you are delivered from the dead life. (Rom 8:2, 9-11)

The real you are on the same side as that powerful God, fighting against your false self. Knowing and understanding that will change your world. Ask God to give you vision to see things from his perspective. Walk in freedom and don’t look back!
