Pastor Jack Hayford teaches that there is nothing more fundamental to the heart of God than the worth that He has invested in each person He created. The basic thing that the adversary wants to challenge is your identity in God and he uses subtle ways to deceive us. We can cast down those thoughts and imaginations from the enemy and stand strong in what God thinks about us.

When Jesus died on the cross, the saints took possession of the kingdom. We received dominion, glory and the Kingdom of God. It is time for us to change our mindset so we can leave a legacy; the kingdoms of this world becoming the Kingdom of our God.

Our vision for life should line up with Revelations 11:15 "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever." What are you a part of? Are you a part of an apostolic move of God?

Paul speaks on one of his favorite subjects, the glory of God. In Hebrew 3 Paul says "You have a greater glory than was on the face of Moses". The Glory of God is dwelling within every believer. What a tragedy to not recognize the glory of God within us and within every member of the church.

When looking into the life of King Saul, it is revealed how the fear of man poisons perspective. If our identity is focused on externals than it is centered in insecurity. God wants us to become a rock that doesn't move, that is unaffected by the praise or mocking of others. How do we become unaffected by other's opinions? A fear of God silences all other fears, it does not drive us from Him, but to Him.

Chris Gore reminds of the importance of remembering what God has done. Chris shares practical, and personal ways that we can continually focus on what God is doing, and not on what God is not doing. By using colorful illustrations, Chris encourages us to maintain a place of confidence in God, and recognize our God-given authority, not being distracted by the enemy's ploys.

The Lord has come to heal the broken parts of society that are orphaned. As people are introduced to a continuous source of supply and safety, they become aware of their identity. Each person has been given a name name from the one who is always perfect, named with destiny and purpose. Jesus's purpose in coming to the earth was for you to be restored to God as Father, to restore orphaned children to an inheritance and blessing.

Jesus was baptized and the Lord declared this is My Son in who I am well pleased. Then the Holy Spirit lead Jesus into the wilderness where He was tempted. The Holy Spirit lead Jesus into conflict. The only time you are lead into conflict is when God has prepared you to win.
The first temptation was to question who Jesus was. In conflict, you build character through refinement and are able to stand on the word of God which demonstrates His word is safe ground.

Randall shares with the BSSM class about identity in Christ. Lasting change takes place not as a result of your efforts, but as you behold Him. You become what you behold. It was never the intention of the Lord for you to live for Him, but for Him to live through you. The carnal mind is at enmity with God and any message that continues to cause you to lose the message of who you are in Him is anti-Christ in nature. Every time you criticize yourself, you are criticizing God's workmanship.

Gabe shares, from personal experience, how understanding who you are, who is inside you, makes nothing impossible.
