Q: what is your identity?
A: identity is your picture of yourself on the inside.
Biblical example of identity can be found in Numbers 13
The story of the Twelve Spies:
- 10 spies saw themselves as grasshoppers,
2 spies saw themselves as well able. - Both were right!
- Those who thought they could, could.
Those who thought they couldn't, couldn't. - An evil report can state the facts correctly!
- But we choose what we identify with, facts or the Truth of the Word of God.
The way they saw themselves determined what they determined what they received from God.
The picture inside of you is a self-filling prophecy!
Lesson 2 – The Value of Identity 2
Text: Genesis 17:1-7 - Abram becomes Abraham.
Abram in covenant with Jehovah.

We need to be more reliant on the God inside of us.
Identity affects our purpose.
Q: What is the value of your identity 2?
A: In order to accomplish God's purpose, we must see our self the way He sees us.

When we believe on Christ we became a new creation,
by which we receive all good things.
