We have been chosen. The foundation of our true identity has been laid on the fact that we have been chosen from the beginning. We were not an afterthought or last minute choice because God couldn’t find someone better. God’s true identity is always OUR starting point, but being accepted in the Beloved is where HE begins with us.
In this episode we’re exploring:
- Personality vs Persona
- Our primary identity is accepted in the Beloved
Key Scriptures
- John 15:16
- 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14
- Ephesians 1:5-6
- Matthew 10:8
Question for exploration. Ask God..."What do You see in me that I don’t yet see in myself?” Write down what you think He would say to you.

Is this a good idea, or a God idea? How do I know what to say "yes" to and what to say "no" to? All questions of destiny are questions of identity. A “need” can never be the DETERMINING factor in our responses because the needs of this world are endless. The fear of unmet needs can never be our p...
