  1. Re-Discovering Your True IdentityIn Christ

  2. Your True Identity ... is more than who you see in the mirror.… is more than the family you had or didn’t have.… is more than just the sum total of your past, present or future mistakes. … is more than what others think about you or even what you think about yourself.Your True Identity has everything to do with who God says you are! The question is: “Will you believe what God says about you and live in your True Identity?

  3. Your True Identity 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone in Christ, they are a new creation, The old is gone, behold, the new has come!”

  4. Kurt Wagner: From Hitler’s bodyguard to Child of God

  5. One of Hitler’s bodyguards was a man named Kurt Wagner. He adored Hitler and reverenced him as a god. At the end of the war, with Hitler a suicide in a Berlin bunker, Kurt’s faith was shattered and he planned a suicide. Going for a final cup of coffee, he picked up a discarded Gospel tract and read it—first carelessly and then with interest. As a result of what he read, he sought out a pastor who led him to Christ. Kurt was transformed from a hardened man into a peace-loving man. He became a new creation in Christ.

  6. A Touch of the Master’sHand

  7. The Touch of the Masters Hand. It was battered and scarred, and the auctioneerThought it scarcely worth his while,To waste much time on the old violin,But held it up with a smile."What am I did for this old violin?You will start the bidding for me? A dollar, a dollar, who’ll make it two?Two dollars, and who will make it three?"Three dollars, once; three dollars twice,Going for three," But no;From the back of the room a gray-haired manCame forward and picked up the bow.Then wiping the dist from the old violin,And tightening up all the strings,He played a melody pure and sweet,As sweet as the angels sing.The music ceased, and the auctioneerWith a voice that was quiet and lowSaid, "What am I bid for the old violin?"And he held it up with the bow."A thousand dollars, and who will make it two?Two thousand! And who’ll make it three?Three thousand, once; three thousand, twice;And going and gone," said he.The people cheered, but some of them said, "We do not quite understand,What changed its worth?" Came the reply,"The touch of a masters hand."And many a man with life out of tune,And battered and scarred with sin,Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd,Much like the old violin.But the master comes, and the thoughtless crowdNever quite understandsThe worth of a soul, and the change that’s wroughtBy the touch of the Master’s hand.-Myra Brooks Welch

  8. The Whole Story of You

  9. THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT YOUDuring a practice session for the Green Bay Packers, things were not going well for Vince Lombardi’s team. Lombardi singled out one big guard for his failure to "put out." It was a hot, muggy day when the coach called his guard aside and leveled his awesome vocal guns on him, as only Lombardi could. "Son, you are a lousy football player. You’re not blocking, you’re not tackling, you’re not putting out. As a matter of fact, it’s all over for you today, go take a shower." The big guard dropped his head and walked into the dressing room. Forty-five minutes later, when Lombardi walked in, he saw the big guard sitting in front of his locker still wearing his uniform. His head was bowed, and he was sobbing quietly. Vince Lombardi, ever the changeable but always the compassionate warrior, did something of an about-face that was also typical of him. He walked over to his football player and put his arms around his shoulder. "Son," he said, "I told you the truth. You are a lousy football player. You’re not blocking, you’re not tackling, and you’re not putting out. However, in all fairness to you, I should have finished the story. Inside of you, son, there is a great football player, and I’m going to stick by your side until the great football player inside of you has a chance to come out and assert himself." With these words, Jerry Kramer straightened up and felt a great deal better. As a matter of fact, he felt so much better he went on to become one of the all-time greats in football, and a few years ago was voted the all-time guard in the first 50 years of professional football.That was Lombardi. He saw things in men that they seldom saw in themselves. He had the ability to inspire his men to use the gifts they had. As a result, these players gave Lombardi three consecutive world championships at Green Bay.

  10. Using Your True Identity To Fight Temptation

  11. Luke 4:8 (KJV) “And Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.’”

  12. When you are tempted to do something that is contrary to your true identity in Christ,you can say to the Enemy with all confidence,“In the Name and power of Jesus, Get behind me Satan, I know whose I am!”

  13. Are you ready to embrace your True Identity as a Child of God?
