Who Are We?

If you are anything like me, you can find yourself at times focusing on what you feel you DON’T have: the things you are lacking in, the areas you feel you aren’t enough in, etc. But that is living on the wrong side of the cross…so I figured this week we would take a proverbial firehose to Satan’s face and go over some of the main truths of what we DO have and who we ARE, this side of the cross. I do encourage you to dedicate some time throughout the week to look up the verses. (Yes, I give out homework) I know it seems like a lot, but I didn’t type up the text of the verses because I want you to spend some time digging in for yourself with Father. Whether you know the verses like the back of your hand, or have never read them before, there are some powerful nuggets in there for you. (not chicken nuggets…sorry…gotta go to Chick-fil-a for that) I’m printing this out and going over it myself this week. Join me.
