My IDENTITY IN CHRIST

My identity is IN CHRIST. I am made in His image, and I am being conformed into the image of God, our Father who is in Heaven. I am a good branch from the Good Tree, the Tree of Life. I am a Child of God, His Beloved. God is love; I am love. I am the Bride of Christ and a valued part of His Body. I am Jesus' Sheep, and I hear His voice. I have been translated into the Kingdom of His Beloved, Jesus. According to the Word of God, like you, I have the mind of Christ, and I stand before the Throne of Grace with boldness and confidence that He hears my prayers and supplies all of my needs. I am chosen, called, and sent to make disciples of His Kingdom, so I am a disciple maker, a fisher of men. Keep in mind, all of this happened before the foundation of the world. I am eternal IN CHRIST, forever His. Jesus said, I am a citizen of Heaven and an Ambassador of Christ, and I dwell with Him and in Him, and He in me. Therefore, I am a vessel of Christ filled with love.

In Christ, I have found strength for all things. Apart from Him, I am nothing, but through Him, I am a 'Pioneering Giant Slayer,' called to restore and reconcile families and communities back to the eternal love of God in His Kingdom. That's who the Trinity made me to be.

Psalms 139:13 "For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb."

Yes, they, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, knit me together long before I was woven into my mother's womb.

Colossians 2:2 "that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,"

They know me best! He made me to be a Pioneer who is called to Slay the Giants in the Land. My weapon is His Grace working through His Love, which He gives in abundance so I can love my enemies, especially the Pharisees and religious spirits.

2 Corinthians 5:20 "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God."

Each day, as I lay down my life and pick up my cross, I am reminded that my qualifications come not from worldly achievements but from my willingness to confess my weaknesses and depend solely on God’s Grace.

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

King Jesus, as I stand in Your presence, I seek to understand the depths of the identity You have bestowed upon me. You made me, every part of me. You formed me before the world was.

Romans 12:1-2 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

No one knows me more than you. You are my only Rabbi, Teacher, and Leader. Who am I, Lord Jesus? "Who do you say I am?"

Matthew 23:7-10 and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ."

My true essence is solely defined by Your declaration over me, "GIANT SLAYER, RESTORER of Families." You crafted me with divine affection before the foundation of the world was laid.

Romans 8:28-30 “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified."

Every facet of my being was woven together in the heart of the Trinity with love and for love, designed purposefully by Your hands, even before time began.

1 Peter 1:20 "For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you."

Lord, the adversary, known as the accuser, is deceit–nothing but lies. He perpetuates falsehoods, attempting to usurp Your truth by sowing lies, seeking to convince us that we are crafted in his corrupted image. Yet, I am reminded that his essence is devoid of truth, embodying only death and decay. He offers nothing but counterfeit lying identities.

Ephesians 1:4 "just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love"

In seeking You, Lord Jesus, I have asked to hear directly from You—who You declare me to be. I have invited the Holy Spirit to delve deeply within me, revealing and removing any false identities imposed upon me through deception and lies. I repent of any acceptance of these falsehoods.

Lord, You chose to empty Yourself, taking on the form of a humble servant, and You call us to emulate Your selflessness daily as we empty ourselves of SELF. As we abide in You, and You abide in the Father, we too reside with you in the heart of God.

John 15:16 "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."

You have given me Your Grace to relinquish all false beliefs and the lies about myself that the world and the adversary have embedded in my mind, psyche, and imagination. By Grace, I receive and I embrace the mind of Christ, which You have freely given to me.

Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

I am profoundly and deeply loved by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit–a love beyond imagination. Translated into Your Kingdom of light and love, I have been liberated from corruption, now immortal and eternally alive in You, IN CHRIST.

2 Corinthians 13:14 "The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all."

Your love envelops me, for I am Your child, forever woven into the fabric of Your family. I am integral to the Body of Christ, no longer estranged from God’s life but fully immersed in it, redeemed by Your blood, and restored as a rightful citizen of Heaven with complete access to the Father, and to the Tree and River of Life.

Revelation 2:7 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God."

Having been reborn by the Father’s will, I no longer strive to construct my own dominion; instead, endowed with your humility, surrender, obedience, and love, I am equipped to co-labor in building Your Kingdom, through Grace working through love. I am Your inheritance, and I am free from the need for self-protection or self-promotion, I am secure in You, Christ, for You dwell within me.

Romans 8:9-11 "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."

Nothing can sever me from Your love, Lord Jesus–nothing. I am the embodiment of the abundant life You promise, a testament to Your Grace and Glory. Appointed and equipped, I stand as Your ambassador and a servant leader on Earth, a chosen vessel to wash the feet of my brothers and sisters IN CHRIST.

Romans 8:38 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Jesus, You affirm my worthiness, having created me and known me fully. For my sake, You embraced suffering, humiliation, and disGrace, deeming me worthy of such sacrifice. Thus, by Your Grace, I lay down my life to follow You, called and set apart to perform Your works.

Titus 2:13-14 "looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."

Every day presents a new revelation of Your will, a divine mystery far superior to my desires. I am predestined to embody Your image, transformed from the inside-out, fully equipped to teach other disciples to embrace and receive the fullness of Your Grace. Today, and every day, I surrender anew, asking You to shape me into Your likeness, to use me as a vessel of Your peace, wisdom, and love.

2 Corinthians 3:18 "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

King Jesus, I am Yours entirely, committed to living out the identity You have crafted for me, striving to reflect Your light in every action and every word. This is my declaration, you are my truth, and my path, as I walk in the identity You have bestowed upon me, for Your glory and honor, forevermore.

Transformed By Love For Love

As I reflect on the journey that has shaped my life, I'm moved to share the unfolding of a great love story—my story with Christ, written by the hand of God. This isn't just my story; it's an invitation for you to discover how deeply you are loved by Jesus and to ask Him, "What is my identity, the one You created for me to fulfill?"

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

I am a humble servant who has been profoundly transformed by God's unlimited Grace. Like Joseph and Moses, I've traveled through wilderness seasons that stripped away all I thought defined me, only to find my true identity in the arms of Jesus. This journey has taught me that leadership isn't about accolades or achievements; it's about embodying Christ's servants heart and mind, His radical love, and His transformative Grace.

John 13:5-9 "Then He *poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. So He *came to Simon Peter. He *said to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?” Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.” Peter *said to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.” Simon Peter *said to Him, “Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head.”

God called me to build something unique, something that could harness the revolutionary potential of technology without losing the heart of the Gospel. KINGDOM Empowered emerged from this vision—a Spirit-led movement designed to equip believers to live out their God-given purposes. Through cutting-edge blockchain technology and a commitment to radical generosity, we've created decentralized systems that empower every believer to thrive both spiritually and economically.

John 17:24 "Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world."

At the core of my identity is the call to be a bearer and multiplier of Grace. THE Grace Awakening, a book born from my deepest revelations of God's love, outlines this call. It is more than just words on a page; it's a living testimony to the power of Grace that can redeem the most broken parts of our lives and call us into a deeper, more meaningful discipleship with Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."

Innovation is also a significant part of who I am in Christ. I stand at the intersection of faith and technology, not just to use tools but to transform how the Church engages the world. Through

initiatives like the UTOO Community Builder, the BANK of GOODNESS, the Universal Exchange and the Super Wallet, we're redefining how communities support each other—ensuring that every transaction and interaction glorifies God and furthers His Kingdom.

My role extends to economic and community empowerment. Through initiatives like Grace Hubs, Grace Networks, and Grace Homes, Jesus is creating self-sufficient, thriving Grace-filled communities through us. These projects aren't just about meeting physical needs; they're about fostering an environment where Spiritual Formation and economic opportunity go hand in hand.

1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."
