“Living Life Through Your True Identity” – Episode 2

Many people spend their lives striving for peace, seeking approval, and chasing God’s love, only to feel that it is never enough. The key to overcoming this struggle and accessing true satisfaction, safety, and strength lies in understanding and living from your True Identity in Jesus Christ.

This powerful message of grace emphasizes that God’s love, favor, and blessing are gifts that have already been given, not rewards that must be earned. By rooting your faith in this truth, you can stop striving to become righteous, holy, or complete, and instead start believing that you already are.

1. Your Identity is the Foundation for Divine Purpose

Understanding your True Identity is the foundational key to unlocking your divine purpose and calling.

Stop Chasing Purpose

When you recognize your identity in Jesus, you naturally stop chasing purpose as if it were something outside of you. Many people mistakenly believe purpose is defined by what you do (job, title, performance, platform). However, in the Kingdom of God, purpose flows entirely from who you are.

Instead of asking, “What is my purpose?” the sources suggest a better question is: “How does Christ want to express Himself through me today?”. The way Christ chooses to express Himself through your life every day begins to reveal that purpose.

Custom Design and Divine Wiring

Your purpose is internal; it resides in your true identity and how you have been wired. God custom-made or custom-designed every believer for a specific purpose. You are designed to handle, or carry something of heaven, in a way nobody else can.

Sometimes, clues about your divine wiring and subsequent purpose come from outside recognition. You should pay attention when others notice that you are “real good at this,” or that certain tasks seem “easy for you,” or when you “appear to be real anointed to do this”. This is light being shed on your wiring.

When you live from your True Identity, purpose becomes less about finding something out and more about awakening what is already in you. Your life is not random; you were created in Christ Jesus unto good works which God had before ordained that you should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

2. The Power of Daily Spiritual Alignment

Redemption, righteousness, deliverance, success, and holiness are already finished works of Jesus Christ. The challenge for the believer is not getting God to do something new, but achieving daily alignment with what has already been completed.

Alignment is paramount; if you are out of alignment with who you are (your True Identity), everything else in your life will be out of line, and any success you encounter will only be temporary.

The Satellite Dish Analogy

Spiritual alignment is compared to a satellite dish or Direct TV scenario. If a storm moves the dish, the signal (the finished works of Christ) is still coming through, but you cannot pick it up until the dish is properly realigned. The Christian life is about waking up every day and ensuring you are in alignment.

Tools for Daily Alignment

Alignment is an active participation in resting in the finished works of Jesus—a concept described as “labor to rest”. God will not make you align yourself; participation is required. Tools provided to facilitate this daily alignment include:

• Prayer: Prayer should be the position of alignment. Praying daily is not about trying to get God to do what He has already done, but about achieving alignment with the finished works.
• Praise and Worship: These actions help align your focus and attitude.
• Fellowship: Connecting with others also supports alignment.
• Self-Correction (Articulation): You must correct your speech and talking so that you align your articulation with the reality that everything is finished and done in Christ.

The Car Alignment Analogy

Just like a car that needs wheel balancing and alignment, if your spiritual life is not aligned, your life will veer off course if you take your hands off the wheel. If your attitude is “going this way” (negative or tired), you need to intentionally use tools like worship to align it.
