Identify


 


IDENTIFY

1.     establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is.

 

BBC NEWS April 2022:  A killer who transitioned from male to female now wants to identify as a baby, after demanding prison officers provide her with “nappies”, “dummies”, and pureed baby food.

Guards at Polmont prison in Brightons, Scotland, are also expected to hold Eastwood's hand when she is escorted from her cell.

 

There is a girl in Australia who identifies as a cat. 

 

…Also a transgender that now identifies as a horse. 

 

We have transgender… trans species… trans age…

 

… apparently one can let society know what they want to be treated as… and we are to accommodate their delusions. 

 

“However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual.” (1Cor15:46NASB)

 

This is also going on spiritually!

 

Satan tries to get us to identify with an old man that is dead. 

 

He started in the beginning, saying, “has God said?…”. 

And if it still works…

…why change it?

 

He convinces us to identify as a sinner… an alcoholic… a diabetic… a cancer victim… a captive… unholy… unrighteous… diseased… sick… and forsaken. 

…TRYING TO BECOME something else…

…or even TRYING TO BECOME something we ALREADY ARE!

 

“BUT GOD…

who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 

Even when we were dead in sins, 

HAS QUICKENED us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

And HAS RAISED us up together, 

and MADE US sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus….” (Eph2:4-6)

 

“Therefore,  if any man be in Christ, 

he is a NEW CREATURE: 

(One that never existed before)

old things are passed away; 

behold, ALL things are become new.”  (2Cor5:17)

 

·       “ARE PASSED AWAY” - a continual current process of being… based on a past event

 

·       “ARE BECOME NEW” – a continual current process of being… in perpetuity  

 

The New Covenant DOESN’T present  a standard to which you try to identify, but always fall short

It demonstrates your TRUE NEW CREATURE IDENTITY because of what Jesus Christ has already done. 

 

DON’T TRY TO IDENTIFY AS A SON OF GOD. 

 

YOU ARE ONE!

THE FOOD PRAYER

  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
