I Am Who You Say I Am

Who do You say I am?

Like most women, or really most people, there are days/periods where I struggle with my identity. Since I was little I have almost always known the truth. I’ve grown up with the knowledge of who I am in Christ. So I never really thought of this as a struggle for me. I thought I knew who I was, I knew who Jesus was, I believed I was loved and saved, and yet, over the years I’ve still struggled and I have never figured out why. I’ve tried getting to the bottom of my insecurity and I think I still struggle with really believing what my identity is. Knowing in my heart who I am in Jesus. I can speak it, but I think I am still figuring out what it really means. I think I put too much pressure on myself a lot. I hate making mistakes. I want to be the best that I can be. In my relationships, in my job, with whatever I am given. And when your best isn’t enough sometimes, it sucks. And it chips away at your self worth and the enemy starts whispering lies to your mind and your spirit. So this past year or so I’ve been working hard at fighting lies with what Jesus says about me. And I’ve tried really figuring out what each one means. Because I’ve heard most of these truths all my life (thank you Jesus), but I want to really believe them in my heart. Because when I believe what the enemy says about me and beat myself up, accepting the lies, I am not believing what my Father says.

I love what Christine Caine said when my sister and I went to the Outcry tour last April, “If you don’t know what God says about you, you WILL believe what the enemy says.” And I’ve tried to remember even just that statement. Because knowing the problem is the first step to fixing it right. So understanding that there is an enemy out there trying to subtly steer you off track and break you down without you even noticing is the first step to fighting. And whispering these lies to you is a huge way he does that. Speaking the problem or the fear is the first step. Then you dig into the Word of God and figure out what God says to counter it. The enemy’s lies can’t survive when you snuff it out with the Truth. So speak truth over yourself today! Over your mind, over your body, over your relationships.

I am who You say I am.

I am chosen.

I am blessed.

I am accepted.

I am worthy.

I am loved.

I am forgiven.

I am free.

I am saved.

I am strong.

I am special.

I am beautiful.

I am redeemed.

I am the Bride of Christ.

I am an heir to an eternal kingdom.

I am a daughter of the King.

I am a child of God.

I am the head not the tail.

I am not a failure.

I am not alone.

I am not forsaken.

I am not condemned.

I am not a slave.

And the enemy can’t undo any of those things! He has no authority over me. He has no authority over my marriage. He has no authority over my mind. He has no authority over my relationships. He has no authority over my life!

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” Those times when you’re in the trench and don’t know how to fight those lies, memorize a couple verses and make those your go to “mantras.” 2 Timothy 1:7 is one of mine. I know it by heart and when I can’t think of anything else, or don’t know how else to fight this is what I repeat.” I have to remember the promises that God has given us and speak them into my life.
