Whether we like it or not, we are in a battle. Life on earth can feel as if we are caught in the crosshairs of a diabolical struggle between faith and fear, our identity in the balance.
Yet, as children of God, and therefore spiritual beings, we have the assurance that we possess divine power to destroy any stronghold in our life that is holding us hostage.
So what is holding you hostage? Fear. Insecurity. Unforgiveness. Shame. Maybe it’s something else you can’t quite put your finger on but you know it’s there, weighing heavy on your heart.
Whatever it is you can change it. However, access to this type of power requires some core-level identity integration—integrating our personal uniqueness with our spiritual distinctiveness.
This type of identity integration can be challenging. It calls for courage, awareness, and faith. To do this you need to know who you are and who you can be.
As human beings, we are wired with personality traits that influence how we experience life—personal uniqueness. But as spiritual beings, we are wired with divine power to navigate this life with wisdom beyond our own experience—spiritual distinctiveness.
Since you’ve lived your whole life developing your personal uniqueness it’s time to understand the power of your spiritual distinctiveness.
You are: chosen, forgiven, unconditionally loved, and accepted by God.Yep, you are all that!
Regrettably, some of us have lived in defeat for so long our identity is skewed toward the broken image of who we’ve become. As a result, we continue to self-destruct.
But we don’t have to. Knowing who you are in Christ and what you can do through His power will help to create the confidence you need to pursue and sustain difficult lifestyle and habitual changes.
“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.“ (Ephesians 1:18)
- Take time today to ask God for more power in your life.
- What is the difference between your personal uniqueness and spiritual distinctiveness?
- Consider ways you can integrate your personal uniqueness and your spiritual distinctiveness to make the changes you want.
Prayer is just a conversation with God. Talk to Him today who you were created to be and what you were created to do at this time in your life.
Be bold. Be brave. Be free.
