Who Are You?
In the world you are a bar code. In the kingdom you bear the image of God.
You are not your feelings.
You are not your past.
Your inner man is not the age of your outer man.
Your spirit is eternal.
Your real capacity is unexplored because its a new nature that came alive the moment Christ came into your heart by the Holy Spirit.
You are no longer merely human – you possess an aspect of the divine nature. Your recreated spirit is the real you, and in that part you bear His image.
As You behold the beauty of the Lord you are changed…”But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.” (2 Cor 3:18)
The ancient mirrors were actually bronze hammered flat. When the sun hit them the radiant reflection would cover your face.
The figure is one of great beauty; and the idea is, that by placing ourselves within the light of the gospel; by contemplating the glory that shines there, we become changed into the likeness of the same glory that shines on us.
The world system is called Babylon. Everybody losses their unique identity and becomes a brick, a unit- a number – in a globally controlled economic system of total surveillance. The tower of Babel was built of brick. Each brick made to fit exactly like the other brick.
The Temple of the Lord on the other hand is built of stones…”living stones” that fit together in such a way that each stone is unique.
The world pressures you to conform – make you a brick in a godless system.
The kingdom challenges the bride transforms – make you a living stone in a living temple.
You are a whole lot more than you think you are!
“When He appears you will see Him as He is and immediately be transformed to be just like Him.” (1 Jn 3:2)
Do you know why? Because you are made of the same nature and material. Your life is hidden in Christ. You only need to see Him to be like Him.
You only need to receive His words to activate what you've got.
Open the Bible and do it now. You only need to see to be.
Make sense?
I totally needed to hear that right now.. Great word..
“You only need to see Him to be like Him.” I understand this to mean ‘I see Him in my heart, my Inner Man,’ and become like Him.”
Really interesting Article, thanks.

Saw your note and felt moved to reply – hope that’s okay.
The Holy Spirit is at work within us to transform us, but work out(ward) your salvation. These scriptures might be of interest to you. John 5:19; 1 John 4:17b.

Such timely words. Tears pool because I face a meeting tomorrow and have no defense. I did my best and can only know and stand in Him and on His truths- He is my Advocate. He is my Defense. He sees all, especially my heart’s motives. Thanks for being His voice.
June – as you stand on Isaiah 43:1-2; God will deliver you from your trials. Shalom!
As I read your post, I want to encourage you to remember the Scripture from Is 54:17 (AMP Version).
This is for you and your situation. Trust the Lord’s Word and believe He will do it!
June,
Isaiah 41:10-13 for you as well!
Bless you!

Hi Lance,
My name is John Esin. I am a Nigerian currently leaving in the UK. I believe that God has called me to partner with him to dislodge the devil from the mountains of commerce and government especially in Nigeria.
Please can you suggest materials I can purchase from you to help me build my business as well as God ideas on what to do about the mountain of government.
You are doing a great work for the Kingdom and millions of us love you. If I do not get to see you hear we will see on the other side.
God bless you man.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
John
@John, as a fellow Nigerian (My Dad is from Nigeria and my Mum from Barbados) I felt a calling to the Caribbean….and perhaps that will materialise in Nigeria too. I worked in Nigeria for a short while some 3 years ago on a Public Private Partnership so totally understand the need t change the Mountains of Business/Commerce and Government. I totally recommend to you Lance’s Destiny Dashboard, it has transformed my business and helped me really grasp the assignment the Lord had for me. Be encouraged, Nigeria is not beyond reproach, no matter what others say. May the Lord guide and strengthen you for the task at hand, Felicia
This is something that needs to be taught to every new believer and even from infancy. Just knowing this powerful truth will change a person’s life and the way they view themselves. Even though I know these things and have for many years, the power in these words strikes me anew and I am changed… “From glory to glory”
I agree with you concerning these words. I will be noting them in my records for constant contemplations.
Beautiful and radical.
Just read this, and look forward to mulling it over.
Powerful word and I agree with it 100%!
God is shouting this message from many directions. Let us have ears to hear and start acting like who we are really are.
Such a POWERFUL NOW WORD in the earth!! #AriseShine
Blessings!
“Your inner man is not the age of your outer man”! YES! He shall renew our youth like the Eagles! It IS a mind-set……on the Spirit.
Thank you!
