Lesson 1 – The Value of Identity 1

Q: What is the value of identity?
A: Understanding your identity (In Christ) will determine what you will receive from God.

Text: Proverbs 23:7 As he thinks in his heart, so is he

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.

In the Bible a change of name often indicates a change of identity.
Abraham was blessed to be the father of many nations

We need an identification overhaul!
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.

Conclusion: Change of identity. Change of destiny.
When we believe on Christ we became a new creation,
by which we receive all good things.

 

Lesson 3 – The Value of Identity 3

Text: Genesis 32:28 – Jacob (the deceiver) becomes
Israel (A prince who has power with God and man).

Identity in the life of Jacob. Genesis 32. 

  • v 9-12, Jacob prayed out of fear, not out of an understanding of covenant
    • Not all prayer is of faith!
    • There are many fear-filled prayers.
  • v 13-20, Jacob moved forward with great anxiety
    • The unknown will cause fear
    • Jacob’s own deception is the foundation of fear.
    • deception in the foundation of fear.
  • v 21-23, Jacob did NOT get what he deserved.
    • I do NOT give what I deserve!  Thanks be to God.
  • v 28-32, Jacob had to come to the end of himself.

Conclusion: A proper identity equals a proper destiny.
When we believe on Christ we became a new creation,
by which we receive all good things.
