The Spirit of the Lord says:
Beloved ones, this is a period of timely positioning and My sons and daughters must rise and fully inhabit their identity in Me. As you come forth out of the wilderness as My chosen bride, the tempter will attempt to test you. The need for this testing is so that you will be secure in your kingdom identity. I summon you to partner with My word in assurance as you embrace fully your identity as My beloved son/daughter in whom I am well pleased.
To enable you to do this, I am releasing upon you a new strength of identity; a new solidity of knowing who you are in Me. You will be challenged in these days by emotional instability and uncertainty of who you are due to all that is going on around you. Resist being tipped into the wobbling atmosphere of violence and insecurity. Measure yourself by My standards and be conformed by the renewing of your mind.
As you hear the taunting of the evil one, listen for Holy Spirit’s instructions. Listen to how you are directed to answer such threats and tests. Feel the Holy Spirit’s confidence and respond with new determination. Do not become unhinged by the chaos or lose sight of who you are in Me.
Activation:
Read Matthew 3:17 and then decree aloud over yourself, “God’s voice from heaven calls me His beloved son/daughter. I am His beloved and He is well pleased.” Do this over and over, until you feel yourself partnering with this truth.
and behold, a [a]voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased and delighted!”
Matthew 3:17 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Matthew 3:17 This is the first instance recorded in the Gospels of the Father speaking audibly to His Son. Also see Matt 17:5; Mark 1:11; 9:7; Luke 3:22; 9:35; John 12:28 (below).
12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—
13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].
John 1:12-13 (AMP)
14 For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “[a]Abba! Father!”
Romans 8:14-15 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Romans 8:15 An Aramaic word used by young children when addressing their fathers, but not used by Jews in prayer because it implies a sense of familiarity. Jesus’ use of the word emphasized his Father-Son relationship with God.
