NEW IDENTITY

TODAY we decree that you receive and live in a new identity that is saturated in Christ. We speak that the former things that labeled you are removed and have passed away and can no longer define you. We bind the work of all previous characterizations that would tether you to the pastand cause you to be seen as something thatyou are not. We say the former “you” is crucified and a new “you” has arisen! We sever from your memory any past images of yourself that are not in line with the image of Christ. We speak that your new identity is visible to you and all those around you. We say that your new character speaks for itself and shall bring you assurance, adulation, and acceptance. We prophesy that the new person God has made you shall show forth brightly and others shall come to the brightness upon you. We say you are a new person—the old is gone and brand new has come!

SCRIPTURE

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).

WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

When we give our lives over to Jesus, the Bible tells us we became a brand new creature. This means we are not what we used to be. We are completely different in nature, character, and even our DNA, spiritually speaking, has changed. The joy and sense of this new identity is second to none! However, the enemy will try to put you back and paint you in the former season. He will try to get you immersed in who you used to be, not who you are now. He might try to remind you of your past and also use others to label you in your past. Rise up and receive your new identity in Christ today and don’t allow the thoughts and images of who you were to come back to haunt you. Rise up today and declare, “I have a new identity in Jesus’ Name!”
