Greta’s Notes:

Only the one who gave you life has the authority to identify you.

Only 1 has the right and authority to tell you who you are. Circumstances are not powerful enough to define you.

You are who God says you are!!!

God has given you a name.

Any person or system that seeks to diminish the value of who I am is actually anti-God.

Your weakness is a platform for the strength of God to be displayed through your life.

You will live up to or down to whatever you believe to be true about who you are.

There are some theological principles that are relegated to one book of the Bible or another…but not identity. Identity is na issue that is on every page of the Bible.

If we act like who God is calling us is who we really are, then we will see blessings explode in our lives.

We can be on the real estate of God’s blessings but not be able to enjoy it if we don’t know our identity.

While religions try to reach up to find god, our God keeps coming down to reach out to us.

“The Word became flesh and moved into the neighborhood.”

In the place where we are trying not to be found, God finds us.

Our belief (or unbelief) doesn’t shift the truth.

When you cannot trace his hand, trust his heart!

Discussion:

  1. What does your inner monologue tend to sound like? How could you improve it and make it line up with scripture more?

  2. Identify one negative though that goes through your head a lot. What do you think God would say to that thought?

  3. How do we go about giving God our weaknesses? What does that look like practically?

Really think this month about how you speak to yourself. What’s going on in your internal dialogue? Are you constantly thinking negatively about yourself? Are you proclaiming scripture in your life?

  • What can we learn from how God changed Abram’s name? What would it have meant to Abraham and what does it mean for you?
