SCRIPTURE READING: LUKE 8: 26-39
FOCUS: “And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.” (Luke 8: 27)
MEMORY VERSE: “And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.” (Isaiah 62: 12)
In our Focal Scripture, mention is made about the man who met Jesus. This man, remarkably, wore no clothes. He literally went about naked. In bible times, people wore clothes to reflect their identity. So, this man did not move around with his identity intact. He moved about with no identity. His affliction had taken his identity from him. The demons that took possession of his life, took his identity away from him. He lost his identity.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: every attack on your identity, I decree, let it be reversed. You will not lose your identity in Christ. You will not lose yourself to your battles. You will not have your identity taken from you by the enemy. You will not be a victim of a lost identity. You will not lose the identity of greatness that God has granted you. You will not lose the identity of distinction and excellence that El Roi already gave you.
Notice that the person who was being referred to in our Focal Scripture, was a man. He was meant to be known for something, but in a matter of time, the affliction he suffered, took his identity from him. What he suffered caused him to lose who he was. People would see him and not recognize him as who he originally was. Hear me as I hear the Lord: every attack of the enemy that wants to steal your identity, I decree, it ends now.
Jesus did not redeem you so that the enemy can take your identity from you. Jesus did not redeem you so that your identity in Christ can be replaced with a negative identity. You are a chosen generation; you are a royal priesthood; you are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works; you are the excellency of Christ; you are the light of the world; your life is hid in Christ and Christ in God; you are the image of Christ.
Your identity is of God, and no power of hell can steal the identity that heaven already put on you. Welcome to that season where the fulness of your identity in Christ will be unveiled. Welcome to that season where you will not lose your identity.
