A Woman Of Significance: Knowing Your Identity In God

DAY 3 OF 5

Filled with God’s Presence

If your assessment of yourself is in constant conflict with God’s opinion of who you are, you will be confronted by perpetual shame. When you refuse to see yourself the way that God sees you, you will go through life looking at yourself through the distorted lens of either pride or humiliation. You will often be ashamed of who you have become because you never really knew who you were created to be in the first place.

Adam and Eve were secure because they knew the One after whom they had been fashioned. I believe that they had the innate knowledge that the emphasis of life was not on their appearance but on what was within them. Adam and Eve were not ashamed, because they were filling themselves up with the presence of the One who had engineered their very existence! They were eating from the Tree of Life and walking with God in the Garden of Eden in the cool of the day. There was no shame in that!

Then, Eve believed the lie that was spoken by the one whom Scripture identifies as “the father of lies” (John 8:44 NASB). Satan is infamous for his lies and knows of no other way to communicate. If you are not absolutely certain of how the Father sees you, you will create the volatile risk of believing the lies of the enemy. The only way you can be assured of God’s confidence in you is by eating from the Tree of Life and staying in intimate communion with Him.

As women of God in the twenty-first century, we have a choice: We either believe what God has said in His Word, or we believe the lies of Satan. We either believe that God loves us and blesses us, or we believe the lies of the enemy. We either believe that we were made in the image of God for His glorious purposes, or we believe the lies of the enemy.

We can see a miraculous and different outcome when we determine that we will believe the truth of the Father rather than the lies of the enemy. We can live an entirely different life due to the simple fact that we determine to believe that we are, indeed, who God says that we are! If God didn’t say it…then I don’t believe it!

About this Plan

A Woman Of Significance: Knowing Your Identity In God

Our outward features and our abilities are not the essence of who we are and should never be given the defining voice in our life. We must discover God’s assessment of our worth and true potential. As a woman of significance, you are encouraged to agree with who God says you are! The powerful truth about identity is this: You will never know yourself until you know yourself in God.
