As a child of God, it is His desire and purpose for us to have an understanding of our "God worth." In "Following the Path to My True Identity" we look at 62 different "Identity Markers" that are characteristic of those who have a life in Christ. This book is designed for those "walking that path" alone or for those in a small group setting or with a mentoring partner. At the end of each "Identity Marker" there are discussion questions to use for those in a small group setting or who are participating in the discipleship process with someone else.
This book was written for anyone who is struggling with or even just trying to discover what their true identity is. Do you feel that you used to know but life traumas and circumstances buried it? Have you ever wondered what your true purpose in life is? I too have struggled to know this, and through prayer and faith, God helped me to rediscover it. He revealed to me what my true value was. It is my hope and prayer that this book will help you along that path. I believe that as you read this book it will begin to give you some keys to help unlock some of the closed doors that you may have had in your mind and heart that has kept you from knowing your true identity. There is no sin too bad that God will not forgive you for and there is nothing that you can do to make Him stop loving you. You are a treasure to Him, and He has put a treasure on the inside of you. May you be brave and go forward to discover it.
This book will help shed light on seeing God as the Creator with a plan for all mankind. This book will help you become more aware and confident in your identity and walk in Christ.
"When you look in the mirror and begin examining the concept of the image that is being portrayed back at you, what do you see?" This question is one that perhaps everyone encounters in life. The difference is some look at the image and submit to it, others look at the image and become depressed by it, while few look at the image and say to themselves "I've got to do some reconstruction, because this is not who I see myself to be." No matter which category you are in I declare to you that there is help for you, and despite what people may have told you, this help is closer than you think. The truth of the matter is that we all have these preconceived images of who it is that we would like to be, but many times they get clouded or misconstrued as life goes on. How? People are the primary factor. They speak things about you that are not true, they speak things over you of which they have no clue, or they speak things to you which impacts what you do. Then, there are life's obstacles that weigh in attempting to weigh you down as a means of preventing you from becoming who you were created to be. Through it all, ask yourself these two questions. Are you ready to change the course of your life? Are you ready to be the best you that God created you to be? If so, join Kean R. Jones as he provides the foundation and framework of how to Discover Your True Identity. More than just a book, it's an adventure that will challenge your current mindset while encouraging you to embrace your pre-ordained, pre-destined, and God given Identity. Let's ride!
As you embark on this faith-enriching journey through "Your Identity in Christ," my hope is the text acts as a guide, enabling you to understand and embrace your divine identity. Through the pages of this book, you will become grounded in the incredible love and power that flows from being in Christ, radiating His light to a world in need.
Refining Identity is an intentionally interactive book that looks closely at this ongoing process of discovering true identity. Since, according to the Bible, humans are made in the image of God, it only seems logical to look to Him as our foundation for genuine identity. Using the illustration of the ancient process of gold refining, this discipleship journey ventures through the various stages of identity formation. Refining Identity is biblically-based and purposefully engages the Bible in abundance to help familiarize readers with lesser-known parts of God’s Word. It is designed to be used in both individual as well as group settings. - See more at: http://nowfoundpublishing.com/refining-identity/#sthash.QPBdhWzb.dpuf
The need for understanding our true identity is crucial. Without it we really don't know if we are coming or going and we will never know the full benefits of our "true birthright". As you read and study these chapters you will discover the true position, purpose, power, authority and destiny given to us by God. Luke 12:32 "Fear not little flock for it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Knowing our true identity will bring forth the manifestation of Christ's dominion, and the ruling reigning authoritative rights of our God given inheritance on planet earth as a now reality. It's Christ's day, the day of the Lord manifesting forth in his people. A people that will allow him to open their eyes to his illuminating light of glory and understanding. God is ready to move in a generation that will reveal all of himself through Christ. And in a people unveiling mysteries and secrets or any type of ignorance (1 Cor.15:28). It is my prayer that you would travel through each chapter anticipating the destination and embracing "The True Identity" as your own divine inheritance while you maneuver through each revelation and thought in this book. This book “The Power of Knowing Your True Identity” is volume one of the Collection Trilogy “The Chronicles of the Sons of God”.
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.
GOD ON ASSIGNMENT AS YOU DAVID HULSE, D.D. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin I realize that this book may not be for everyone at this time. However, it is necessary to challenge the sensibilities of man-made traditions, which have made the word of present truth of no effect to this generation. I invite you to listen to your own inner Christ intelligence which is able to lead you to your truth, rather than listening to the feeble attempts of dogmatic voices who are only plunging us into the depths of unanswered questions. If you are in the process of re-examining old childhood beliefs and have realized there has to be a "more excellent way," this book is for you. With this in mind, I invite you to open your minds and your hearts to this great process of incarnation, when an adventurous playful Creator chose to experience and play the game of humanity with all of its diversity. My premise is that a Creator could not create anything less than itself as that would result in pity. Creating anything greater than itself would result in admiration. Only creating that which is equal results in love! You are the creator experiencing the richness of this human journey. You are god on assignment! "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God." -Phil. 2:5-6 KJV
