Live Out Your Identity in Christ

Picture
Agreeing with the Father about your identity is the biggest step in establishing his security in your life. But, you still need to live out who he says you are. Your belief needs to translate into action. But, how is this done?
Pray
Holy Spirit, I not only want to listen to Your words, but I want to obey You. Teach me how I can obey You through Your words. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Read
Galatians 5:25

Ask
Who is the One that draws out Jesus' identity in you?
Is it possible to live with the Holy Spirit and be out of step with him?


Reflect
Agreeing with the Father about your identity is the biggest step in establishing his security in your life. But, you still need to live out who he says you are. Your belief needs to translate into action. But, how is this done?

Well, how does fruit appear on a fruit tree? Does the tree work hard at squeezing out the fruit? No, when the tree is planted in the right soil, the fruit just comes. God brings about the fruit. So too, as you are planted in Jesus, you will bear fruit. God's plan is that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Living out your identity or living in the right soil will bring this result of great fruit.

What does it look like, then, to live out your identity in Jesus? It means to keep in step with the Spirit. He is always speaking, always relating with you. Do you listen to him? He is nudging you, directing you all throughout the day to keep in step with him. You don't have to make up good works to do. You simply need to follow his promptings. The Spirit is the One who causes you to live out your identity as a child of God. He alone knows how to do this.

Learn to dance. Keep in step with the Spirit. It takes practice. Start today.

Meditate 
Colossians 3:1-4 - Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Apply
You have already been raised with Jesus and are now seated with him next to the Father. This should change how you listen and respond to God. Practice praying with authority today. Think of a situation in life that often worries you. Now begin praying over that situation from your position as a royal child on the throne next to your Father. Speak out with authority. Command the enemy to go away in Jesus' name. Invite the Holy Spirit to break through into your situation. This practice of praying with authority is a significant way of living out your identity as a child of the King.
