I Am Who He Says I Am
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the sovereignty of God and our identity in Christ. The key lesson is that we are who God says we are, not what the world or our circumstances claim. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-2, we're encouraged to run our race with endurance, keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. This scripture reminds us that we're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on. The message beautifully parallels our spiritual journey to a packed stadium, with heaven rooting for us in our struggles. We're challenged to lay aside the weights that hold us back and to speak life into our situations, just as Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones. This powerful imagery reminds us that God can breathe life into any seemingly hopeless situation in our lives.This parallels our own lives, where we often face 'valleys' that appear barren or full of challenges. The message encourages us to use the power of our words, rooted in faith, to overcome these obstacles. Just as Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones, we too can speak life into our circumstances, trusting in God's power to bring restoration and renewal. This teaching challenges us to examine our self-perception and the words we speak over our lives, urging us to align our identity with God's truth rather than the world's labels or our past experiences. As believers, we're called to embrace our true identity in Christ, regardless of what voices around us may say.
