Who Are You?

I remember when I was about 7 years old I was introduced to the world of Super Mario Bros.  Wow.  A superhero plumber, a princess in distress, coins galore, and a giant spiky turtle-dragon villain.  Epic.  And after playing on other people's Nintendos for years, I finally got my own.  The great thing about playing at other people's houses was that they knew all the tricks.  So when I got my own, I didn't have to figure everything out on my own.  (For those of you from that era)  Remember the first time you discovered the warp zones?  Or the 99 lives trick in level 3-1?  Or even something as simple as finding a free 1-up mushroom hidden in a brick block?

What's this got to do with anything?  It's simple:  without knowing it's a possibility, most people just played the game going from one level to the next.  No special tricks.  No special help.  But once you know it's possible, you play the game a completely different way.  This is how life as a Christian ought to be.  Find out what God says you can do.  Find out what God has hidden away for you so that you can go through life with confidence.

God sees you according to your potential and created purpose.

He called you for greatness. 

He created you to be a world-changer.

That's why it's so important to remind ourselves daily who we are, who we are created to be, and what we're truly capable of.

This month we began our study of the book "In Him" by Kenneth E. Hagin.  This is an absolute MUST READ for every Christian.  This book gives a list of over 100 verses that contain the words "in Him", "in Christ", "by Christ", "by Him", "through Christ", and "with Christ." These verses are crucial to understanding exactly who it is that God sees when He sees us.

How can we fully become who He created us to be without knowing what we're capable of and what He intended for us to be capable of?  Luke 1:37 says, "For with God nothing will be impossible."

Dig in to our In Him study.  Find out what God says you're capable of.  Believe it.  Speak it.  Live it.

Be the YOU that God created you to be!
