2/7 :: jesus answered...
read luke 4:1-13
go back to the january 19th entry and read the first paragraph again, just as a reminder.
if you are who you say you are… prove it. that is essentially what satan is telling Jesus, and it is a blatant attack on his identity. but Jesus knew his identity, and knew that he did not have to prove it. our identity is attacked by satan as well. one reason satan attacks us in this area is because we don’t have a solid biblical understanding of who we are in Christ. when we are unsure, satan comes in and feeds us lies… which we sometimes believe. then we are confused, frustrated, and discouraged, unable to pray, minister, and worship. but God has set our identity firmly in place, and we have a way to fight this battle. Jesus quoted scripture in the face of temptation. God has given us many scriptures related to our identity. when satan attacks in this area, fight by quoting truth.
† ask God to show you the areas where satan’s attack on your identity is most effective in your life. search the scriptures and find verses that will help you battle those specific areas. pray that God will continue to root your heart in truth and shape your understanding of your new identity in Christ.

Father, May we be found in you. As individuals, may our lives point to you. As a church, may we point to you. We want to be identified with you, the One who is before and above all things... the One who IS love. Thank you Father that you have become our identity. Defend that identity on our behalf when the enemy attempts steal and destroy it. We belong to you. We are your kids. Let us be identified with that, and all that comes with it. Be glorified in your Bride.

Father, my heart is willing. I raise my shield high against the flaming arrows of the enemy aimed at the Ring, and I turn and offer them to You with praise on my lips. I know who I am. I am Yours.
Praise You, Jesus.
AMEN
