Resurrection Life Church
What and who tries to steal our identity? Satan and his lies. One of the main things that Satan will try and do is to get us into a position of compromise and get us out from under authority. We all must be under authority. We will never truly walk in the spiritual authority God has intended for us if we are not under His authority.
Positioning ourselves properly in accordance with God's word and what He says about us is paramount to us being the sons and daughter that affect change in our world for His glory. Satan wants to steal that identity because he knows that there is power in our God given identity and his kingdom will suffer because of us walking in our authority.
Genesis 3:1-11 NKJV
