The definition of YOU

Who are you? This may seem like a vague question but I would like everyone to take a second to really meditate on it...

Recently I heard Minister John Gray preach and he said the reason why the enemy seems to have an upper hand with people is because they don't know who they really are. We see the enemy and take to our heels not realizing that when the enemy see's us he runs as well but sooner or later after looking back and realizing we are running away scared he uses that to his advantage. The enemy will turn around and start chasing after us to convince us that he has some power over us but it’s all a facade. He doesn't have power over us ….but then why are people afraid? It’s because they don't know that they possess the power to call into existence those things that be not.

Mark 11:23-24 "The truth is, you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, mountain, fall into the sea.’ And if you have no doubts in your mind and believe that what you say will happen, then God will do it for you. So I tell you to ask for what you want in prayer. And if you believe that you have received those things, then they will be yours"

The book of John 1 says "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God, and the word was God" Hence the word spoken in the book of Mark was God directly defining who we are and what we are capable of doing. Even before Jesus died He said that after He left we would do even greater things than He had done previously meaning that when He cast out demons we can do that and more.

Luke 10:19 says "I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you."

From all the above I can now say that the definition of YOU is love, power, and stability. The bible says NOTHING can harm us so we are untouchable in the sense that everything that happens God has let because it is according to His plan and not that of the enemy. The definition of YOU is love because God has set us apart from all the other creatures to bestow such blessings on us. He gave His only begotten Son-Jesus- to die on the cross so that in exchange for our sins we get grace! The definition of YOU is power because God has given us the ability of cast out the enemy just by speaking a word. The fact that NOTHING can harm us also makes the definition of YOU stability, because no matter how much the enemy tries one thing that will forever remain constant is that fact that we will always defeat him. 

I have been a victim of this mistaken identity where I would get scared of the devil because I thought he could harm me but why be afraid of someone who can only harm the flesh and not the spirit? We have been given the victory over every situation because the Holy Spirit (remember God the father, son and Holy Spirit are one) lives within us! The enemy is a liar and we should never let him define us because we have been created according to the likeness of the most high God.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of who we are because in the midst of trying to live we let our present condition define us rather than God. So let’s accept this challenge redefine ourselves daily. After waking up in the morning, look into the mirror and speak into existence the definition of YOU according to the word which is God.
