Our Identity in Christ

Posted by Dan and Carole McClelland

Last week, the speaker was speaking on our identity and only finding it in Christ. He asked us to write down anything negative words or actions that people said about us in the past and then write down anything good things that people said that we were trying to live up to. After writing them down and praying with a friend against the lies we have been believing and for the truth of God to reign in our lives, we ripped up the papers in front of the cross, giving Jesus anything we were trying to find our identity in. Then we were asked to take a package of play-do and just close our eyes and pray about how God sees us.

As, I prayed God gave me a picture of how he sees me and two verses. I am a butterfly with a very small body, with powerful, strong and huge wings (symbolizing God's strength) soaring on wings like eagles through blue and gray skies with my eyes fixed on Jesus.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old is gone and the new has come!
2 Cor 5:17

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40: 31

Wow, what a freedom I felt knowing that God sees me like that! It was an amazing experience. Afterwards, we spilt into small groups and shared with one another and then prayed for each person. It was a freeing day!
