Isaiah 60:1, John 17:22, John 14:17, 1 John 4:16, 1 Timothy 4:12, Psalm 82:6, Ephesians 6:12

Men and brethren, when we begin to emerge as to who we really are as God has created us to be then we walk in our true identity, we become full of light and love with the joy of being free. Rather than having a body with occasional spiritual experience, we walk in the spirit having occasional human experiences. We must realise that spiritual life comes from a Dynamic Relationship with Godfrom the place of intimacy where our spirit is touch with God who is a Spirit. This attracts the presence of God because we are made in His image and likeness to live in the Spirit. When your spirit emerges and you allow the Holy Spirit to rise from within to infuse your spirit with the divine nature of the Holy Spirit, your soul is filled with God’s life, light and love. It is this infusion of grace that allows your spirit to, Arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of God has risen upon you (Isaiah 60:1). In today’s devotion you will be taken on a journey of discovering the ingredients for creating a prophetic culture and prophetic identity. You will then learn the skill of defining yourself by how heaven sees you.

Right where you are, there is no prophetic identity without kingdom partnership. When your spirit comes forth infused with the Holy Spirit you will become one with the Father and the light of God will rest upon you as carriers of His glory. Jesus made a partnership prayer concerning us “The glory that you have given to me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as we are one” John 17:22. The glory of God is His Holy Spirit. Jesus said of, But you know Him; for He dwells WITH you and shall be IN you” (John 14:17). Therefore, when your spirit emerges into the light, because of the Holy Spirit that fills you, you become aware of the Kingdom of heaven within you and around you. When your spirit emerges and you dwell in the culture of love where honor is ascribed to one another, you will attract God’s presence. Why? Because “God is love and those that dwell in love dwell in God and God in them (1John 4:16). This is the proof that you have a prophetic identity in Christ, John 13:34-35

True Identity requires that we go from glory to glory; change is always required in order to go to higher levels of Glory and deeper into the realms of heaven. In order to maintain the ground we had obtained by God’s grace, we endured the tactics of intimidation, false accusations and the attempt to subvert our true identity by those that attempted to overthrow and undermine what the Lord has established in our identity in the Spirit. “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.” 1 Timothy 4:12.

Knowing who you want to be is an identity issue. Knowing what you want to do is concerned with destiny. Both are two sides of the same coin. They cannot be separated. Both require choices to be made that are premeditated and predetermined. Choices are the root of power and that level of ascendancy is never, ever spontaneous. Real dreaming produces purposeful living in the present and takes hold of the future in the form of choices. We make choices for now and we make preferences that guarantee a different future. Along with those choices are always the issues of identity, destiny, self-control, passion and power. You must think for yourself. To do that effectively you must have an understanding of who you are personally in Christ. If you have no understanding of the meaning and purpose for your own life, you cannot affect anything long term. Life never just happens. It’s planned.

Your enemy, satan the deceiver, seeks to limit you because he knows how effective and powerful you can be when you operate in your full God-given authority. Beware the enemy swooping in with craftiness to engage you in hand-to-hand combat over recurring areas of temptation, oppression and depression. He is hitting you with things that are part of your ‘old man’. He knows he can’t win but he hopes that by warring with you on this ‘local’ or ‘street’ level, he will distract and keep you occupied in a tug-of-war. He is desperate that you don’t look at things from a Godly perspective, because if you did, you would see your new identity in Christ. You would grow into a greater awareness of who you are and the authority that you carry. You are not a scrapper, a street-fighter; you are a mighty General Psalm 82:6. The more you walk in this realization, the easier it will be to walk away from the hand-to-hand wars Ephesians 6:12.

It is therefore time to work on your mindset. Listen to what encouragers say to you and about you. Don’t dismiss their commendation and encouragement; absorb it. And make Godly declarations of His truth over yourself. 1 Peter 2:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:22-24, Romans 8:14-15. Finally, Knowledge inspires inner virtues to operate at maximum performance. Your Prophetic Identity was designed to function and also to create and add value to lives. Every time you are not functioning in your divine purpose, fulfillment is halted. Therefore, it is important for us to know we are valued not for our function or calling, but simply because we are children of God. Because if we derive our affirmation and value and self-worth from our function instead from God who empowers (Deuteronomy 8:18), then we will end up taking the holy things of God and the gifts He has given us and using them to build our own kingdom and not His. Therefore, we must not risk doing ministry and living our lives for the praise of man. In summary, God wants us to return to His word and rebuild our personal identity. We must set up altar for Him in our living rooms and make ourselves worthy of the altar.
