The first deception Satan used in Eden was not an attack on Adam’s possessions. It was an attack on his perception. Dominion is based on identity. If the enemy can change how you see yourself, he will control how you express yourself. Many believers pray for what they already have and beg for what they already are, simply because they have not awakened to their identity in Christ. 

The newness of life isn’t just a religious title or an improved version of the old. It is a complete redefinition of existence. A believer is not just forgiven; he is reborn. He is not a sinner trying to live holy; he is the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. He is not struggling to gain favor; he is seated with Christ in heavenly places. Newness is total, not partial. The old man is dead. The new man is not being built; he is already created in righteousness and true holiness. 

Your identity is your foundation. Until you accept the truth of who you are, you will continue to negotiate with limits that have no right over you. A lion doesn’t pray to roar. A king doesn’t ask for permission to rule; he acts from his nature and position. Many believers feel stuck because they are trying to walk in power without resolving the question of identity. 

You are not ordinary. You aren’t defined by your past. You are not your mistakes, weaknesses, background, or bank account. You are not the story your environment tells. You are a chosen generation. You are royalty. You are an ambassador of heaven on earth. You are God’s extension of power and presence. 

If identity is unclear, activity will be pointless. Prayer will lack depth. Confession will be weak. Boldness will be missing. The devil doesn’t fear your volume; he fears your understanding. You cannot reign until you recognize you are a king. You cannot command until you know you are a priest. You cannot legislate until you see yourself seated in Christ. Authority comes from identity. 

God’s will is not for you to just survive this life. His will is for you to reign in life. But reigning requires you to first identify your divine DNA. You are born of the Word. You are shaped by grace. You are sustained by righteousness. You are called out of darkness, not to hide in silence, but to show His praise. You are light. You are salt. You are a city on a hill. 

The lack of identity understanding shows the presence of satanic oppression. When light appears, dominion starts. When identity is revealed, destiny speeds up. You cannot afford to live another day unaware of who you are in Christ. The new creation is not just a poetic idea; it is a spiritual status. Until you embrace it fully, life will challenge your authority. 

Rise today and declare to every environment around you, I am who God says I am. I am chosen. I am royal. I am anointed. I am separated. I am seated. I am called. I am unstoppable. 

KEY TRUTHS ON YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST 

1. YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO BECOME; YOU ARE ALREADY MADE IN CHRIST.

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

2. YOU ARE CHOSEN NOT BY MERIT BUT BY MERCY.

Ephesians 1:4, “According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” 

3. YOU ARE CALLED OUT OF DARKNESS TO SHOW FORTH THE GLORY OF GOD.

Isaiah 60:1, “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” 

4. YOU ARE ROYALTY AND A PRIEST UNTO GOD.

Revelation 5:10, “And has made us unto our God kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth.” 

5. YOU ARE HEAVEN’S AMBASSADOR ON EARTH.

2 Corinthians 5:20, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be reconciled to God.”
