Straying away from your identity in Christ!

“There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12

Last night God spoke to me through a dream. There was a man who changed his identity in an attempt to protect himself and his family. He was pretending to be someone whom he was not. He was deceiving himself and those around him. Finally, he faced God and those in his life and confessed his real identity.

God told me what happens to all of us is that we start out with good intentions but our motives become twisted. We end up perverting the gospel and diminishing the power of the Holy Spirit working within us.

Your intentions and plans have to originate through and be submissive to the Holy Spirit. He will keep your motives on track with God. We attempt to think for God in planning our goals. This will always lead you astray.

The challenge is living in your new identity in Christ and not relapsing into a false identity.

This happens when you make decisions from the flesh which may seem like they are good but they do not reflect the purposes of Jesus.

There has to be an integration of the Spirit and Truth in all your decision making. This will allow you to do the will of God on earth as it is done in Heaven.

Live in your new identity in Christ through vigilant prayer seeking His will for your life. Walk with God by faith yielding to the authority of the Holy Spirit. Listen for the voice of God and respond with obedience to His instructions.
