God’s Pleasure and Who You Believe You Are

Your actions only reveal you believe you are. God is pleased with you not based on your actions, but on who you actually are. The question is: who do you believe you are?

Overcoming Negative Beliefs

If you believe you are just “a wretched sinner saved by grace,” you will expect to fail God every day. But this is not the good news of the gospel. By shifting your beliefs, you can overcome negative patterns and experience the abundance of God’s love.

Accepting the “Normal Christian Life”

Many Christians believe that living an up and down roller-coaster life is normal. But this acceptance leads to a lack of solutions and growth. Instead, we can embrace the inheritance we have received from our Father and reign in brilliance.

Embracing Your Identity in Christ

You don’t have to live like a starving orphan, begging for food at God’s house. Instead, you can embrace your identity in Christ and enjoy the abundance of God’s love. Shift your beliefs about yourself and experience the fullness of life that God has for you.
