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?
Yes, Lance, as always this makes perfect sense.
Thanks Lance…. So many people..even weekly Christian church attenders are lacking their True Identity..
People identify more from the flesh and worldly idealistic vewpoints and perceptions instead of the CHRIST within them..
their Spirit Man .. This is the source of their power. joy, peace and direction from the Holy Spirit…. This is where
we should be led by the Spirit… not the things of this world!!!! We are a separated people for a reason! 😉
Beautiful word. Not recognizing our identity in Christ is one of the most crippling tools that the enemy uses to destroy our purpose in Him. May we all receive these words and the Spirit quicken us to understand who we are in Him.Thank you for sharing… Kathryn
very timely….

THANK YOU!
Amen. Great word Lance.
Lance do you teach on or have understanding on Ecclesiastes 12:6 New Living Translation
Yes, remember your Creator now while you are young, before the silver cord of life snaps
and the golden bowl is broken. Don’t wait until the water jar is smashed at the spring and
the pulley is broken at the well.
My question is in reference to our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit
and the idea that our Spirit joined to Christ is linked by a silver cord to our physical
body. When the silver cord is severed our Spirit departs our body , enters eternity
and our physical body goes back to the dust. This is something I’ve just started thinking
about and feel I’m getting revelation on. I have never heard of the Silver Cord until recently.
Please consider Ira Milligan’s book,”Understanding the Dreams You Dream”; it contains very helpful interpretations of those symbols you mentioned (those symbols are also common in dreams, too).
Who you are, is such a blessing.

Thank you Lance for this word! This is so “God centred” and balanced, it is exactly what I need to hear/read and mediate in my life, business and personal issues right now! I love the seasoned prophet and the word, that blesses so many people! Bless you and this ministry.
As always, Dr. Lance, I am grateful for your words of wisdom straight from the throne of God. We are in an identify crisis in the church. Many are seeking to br like their pastors rather than like Jesus; and many pastors are not correcting this misleading because it inflates their egos. And when the Lord sends the prophet in to bring divine order, the people want to stone him or her. Pray for the prophets and for the pastors to have hearts after the Lord. Thank you.
Wow! Though the outer man perishes, yet the inner man is renewed day by day as he feeds on the Word of Life, Grace, Truth, Strength, Peace, Prosperity
