The Identity Pressure Cannot Steal

Pressure does not just come after your peace. It comes after your identity.

In Day 5 of Built Different, Pastor James Epperly teaches how the enemy attacks who you believe you are so he can influence how you live. If he can make you feel rejected, condemned, ashamed, insecure, or trapped in an old identity, he can keep you living beneath what Jesus has already made new.

But if you are in Christ, you are a new creation. Your past does not have the final word. Shame does not have the final word. People’s opinions do not have the final word. God’s Word has the final word.

This teaching will help you stop answering to old names like rejected, failure, dirty, weak, forgotten, or not enough — and begin living from who God says you are in Christ.

You are forgiven.

You are accepted.

You are loved.

You are chosen.

You are a new creation.

Pressure may challenge your identity, but it cannot steal it when your identity is rooted in Christ.
