Living Your Truest Identity
by Graham Cooke
This message examines the effect of your true identity on your behavior. Our persona grows strong through overcoming. It is very difficult to become Christlike when everything is going well! The prime root cause of our defeats is the negativity that we take on board from our environment and the world around us.
The Holy Spirit loves to teach us the internal practice of alignment with Jesus and who He is for us. In particular He delights in empowering us to embrace our elevated status, legal authority and permission to overcome, constantly. We have permission to step outside the confines of our history into a viable new present–future in the fullness of God.

How we are known in heaven
Make war on every negative aspect of your thinking.
Establishing your internal overcomer
Exercise: Write a numbered list all the negative things in your life in the left column. In right column, write down each item's positive opposite. Ask the Holy Spirit what's the opposite of each numbered item and write it down. Now you have a list of all the things God intends to give you. Rip off the negative list and burn it because you don't need it anymore. Work though the positive list and start attaching scripture verses and promises to them. That second list becomes your covenant with God. It becomes your place of agreement with the Lord. You know He is going to do all these things in your life. This is your joy, your partnership, promises, covenant, permission, prophecy ... everything that God wants to do. Then you partner with God in all those things. The best way to deal with the negative is to find the positive and focus on it. You never deal with a negative directly. You always deal with it directly. Whatever you focus on, you give life to. So deal with the negative by ignoring it. Focus instead on the opposite: God's promise for you. Declare what God has given you.
