THE POWER TO DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE IN GOD?

The power to discover who you are begins and ends in the revelation of God in our lives. When we are born in Him we can identify the purpose and destiny of our lives!

  • DAY 6 -  You are on your way to a better day! Always work on you!
  • Acknowledge that there are two world systems and have dominion over yourself (over your flesh) Romans 12:1-3
  • King James Version (KJV)
  • 12 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
  • 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
  • 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
  • Feed the mind with the word of God and you will become great; feed your flesh with trash and you will become full of carnality. You must have the infilling of the holy ghost. The holy ghost that will challenge you to live righteous, even when you fall!
  • Before you have dominion over anything, have dominion over your salvation!
  • This is how you get successful:
1.Get in the word now and stop procrastinating or putting things off in your life.
Do it when you think it!
2. Target your weakness
3. Pray about your shortcomings
4. Avoid thinking failure is Final
5. Make weakness your goal, actively pray about it
  • Genesis 1:24-26 speaks on the image and likeness of God
  • Genesis 1:24-26
  • King James Version (KJV)
  • 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
  • 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
  • 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.
 Be secure and confident about the pattern that you are following…...Psalm 37: 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

  • God talks about us being made in the image and likeness of himself! You must know where you come from to find out where you are going!
 Realize and know that you have been personally handmade by God
  • This is the distinction between you and the rest of creation. Notice that human beings are the only creature who God breathed his own breath into! God took time to breath in you, that should give you a different appreciation for life.
  • If God is living, he expects you to live as well. God’s breath is the only things that separates you from cattle and the file of the air. You have   been personally touched and created in the Image and Likeness of the creator! So God intends you to have a different level of authority and live while existing!
 If you are to find out who you are- First trace who God is. We all have traits like our parents and the same is true in the supernatural! We all have traits that come directly from God the father!

  • See God did not come down and breath into man for the purpose of us being less than! You must walk and not faint along this journey of discovering or finding God. That is the premise of our relationship with God!

  • There are so many things and questions that need to be resolved, but the only way these questions can be answered is for us to Go back to the beginning!
  • If we are made in God’s image, We have to search and seek God Out for ourselves!

  • We are God’s personal touch and every time the enemy says different we must read Genesis 2:7

  • There are 2 principles we must focus on- Man was formed from the ground, so apart of us belongs to the ground; but the thing that really makes us who we are is the fact that God has breathed the breath of life in our very souls. Until God breathed into you, you can be in existence but not really living.
  • Adam and Eve and Death- they still functioned in their bodies even though the spirit of God left their bodies. The most important part is not what we see, but the parts that are unseen.
  • Many people relate to the dust in you, but not your destiny. Within humanity you are still designed to be greater; this is why the believer still struggles, because we are still mandated to deal with struggles and flesh pains. Thus even with this revelation,  We are still demanded to follow the rules of the word and not the rules of the world.
  • We have to understand and learn how to deal with a Dual nature
  • We need to follow the instructions for our life and realize that  every pain has a specific purpose.
  • The instructions for your life is found on the BIBLE….Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
  • We are from the earth but also have traces of Heaven in our DNA……..that’s why most of us are battling with pleasing the flesh and spirit!
  • What day did God make man? Gen 1:27 On the sixth day. Man was the last thing God created. God did all the work on days 1-6. The number 7 is the number of maturity, perfection, completeness.
  • See you can be grown and not have the maturity of a man. God made us one day short of perfection.
  • We are in our sixth day, but our journey is helping us make it to the 7th day!
  • That’s why it does not matter how holy or perfect you are, you still have day  6 to deal with in us (6 meaning incomplete). As much as we strive, we have not yet attained.
  • If we were born in the likeness and image of God, why do we still have to deal with sin? Read John 8 (women caught in adultery, but still pressing toward the mark) Jesus knew she had day 6 in her but her accusers still had day six in them yet had not been caught in their day six.
  • We are trying to get to the image of God while still dealing with the dust of the earth!
  • Romans 7:8 It’s the Holy Spirit who has to tell your human spirit to get in check and stay in line.
  • No 12 step program will work for your flesh, it takes the blood of Jesus to cure your flesh problem.
  • Adam and Eve made mistakes because they stopped listening to God. One misplaced word, can change the meaning of everything. Perception changes everything! Eve took the first bit and God said she was going to die. Did she really die? She was alive in the flesh but died in her spiritual relationship with God. The enemy tricked Eve. When God called them, they were afraid so they knew they were in error. Stan changed one word and caused then to become victim to doubt, sin, shame, nakedness and the works of their flesh!
  • We are in trouble when we stop living in the word of God.
  • Find out what God wants and desires of you.
  • Serve God through the word and your relationship with him, not from your relationship with others.
  • Eve and Adam teaches us that you can still function and not be in relationship with God. Adam and Eve were Alive but spiritually dead. We must learn to stay in relationship with God.
  • Don't misunderstand the grace of God and the favor of God. Grace will sustain you but not promote you!
  • How do we hear God? Through his holy word. God arrests us through his word.
  • God has to embarrass you sometimes to get you in check, God uses our experience to guide us to change. Experience or embarrassment sharpens you
  • Adam and Even stopped listening to God. In their relationship with God, they stopped listening to God and started listening to the enemy. They entertained a carnal conversation.
  • When you are out of your word you are out of order. David said God’s Word is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path
  • Sometimes we can miss our moment if we don’t react to what God commands.
  • All people have a material side and an Immaterial side (Body Side and spirit Side)
  • So many things go on in our flesh that we try to reason out with God- Stop because it’s not going to work!
  • Research shows that people have five personality traits
  • Make sure God’s image is always seen through us, make sure you know what;s in your flesh. investigate what’s in your flesh that keeps  tripping you up.
  • God deals with us spirit to spirit, not with our personalities or by our flesh
  • Always remember to include God in EVERYTHING! We love God for who he is not what he gives to us.
 God says that In spite of your earthiness and dust you are still  marvelous. Find people who see through your dust and don’t judge people by their flesh.

 A change has got to come now. What ever you are struggling with make it your prayer goal. James 1:5……...If any man lacks wisdom ask God. Pray about weaknesses and not the strengths.
  • God changes our thinking before anything else changes…...be not conformed through the world, but by the word be transformed  through the renewing of your mind. This is accomplished by ridding ourselves of the world within us and taking in the word of God!
