• Many of us are familiar with or have some kind of information heard, read, or seen about the antichrist, his experiments, and intents. His hidden practices are now on stage and the Satanic curtains to their new world order are being drawn and revealed day-by-day.
• Many antichrists who are forerunners of the Antichrist himself are already gone out.
• Antichrist can mean either against Christ or instead of Christ; one who assumes the guise of Christ but opposes Christ.
1 John 2:18-23 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But you have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
2 John 7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
• The representatives of the Antichrist himself are already among us. They have been set among us to teach and learn of our Will and ways through our daily choices, routine, and comfort zones in our habits, practices, desires, love, and behavior as it pertains to life in Christ.
• The Antichrist himself will not appear yet but has called and ordained many before he shows up.
• The Antichrist himself will make a great appearance to guise himself as being Lord.
• You have family members and friends that are under the influence of the Antichrist and his systems even now, which will make it hard for you to choose Christ in the day called today.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
• When our family members and friends reject Christ or choose not to decide they are of the spirit of the antichrist. I’m not speaking of the sinners, but of the weakest links close to you or that are attached to you.
• Not knowing your spiritual identity is where you give the Antichrist Himself and his antichrists leverage over you with his influence through the knowledge of good and evil.
• Not knowing your spiritual identity, but only your physical and natural self will cause you to always choose your outwardness, its appearance, and feelings over the Will of God, His Will, His influence in the knowledge of good and truth to survive in and against the things to come.
• The most important part of your Salvation is how God sees you and what your identity looks like and appears to be before Him, and not mankind.
• Although God will use your spiritual identity for His Glory, Honor, and Pleasures in the earth, but it is how God sees you, not man’s made up imagination of God’s holiness and righteousness.
• How you look in your identity to God is a constant killer to the devil and his kingdom of darkness in and through the systems of this world.
• How you look to God should be as a son. So, when the devil sees you all he will see is the Son of God and all His constituents, components, ingredients, pieces.
• How you look to the devil and his kingdom of darkness is as a subdued being used to get back at God to despise Him. This is why the identity of Christ Jesus must be your makeup!
• Your spiritual identity must be foundational, allowing only the Spirit of God to dwell and build upon it as you continuously grow in Christ Jesus’ full stature to be like Him.
• But because the House of Prayer not the spiritual Church has allowed many impersonators of the Gospel to freely come into the fold due to our inability to grow in spiritual righteousness and holiness; due to our inability to accept all truth and spiritually discern that which is and is not corrupt.
• This is because we don’t want to discern family when they are a part of the congregation, or make up the congregation, nor do we want to correct, rebuke, and chastise them through the truth of what we’ve learned, lived, experienced, and encountered in Christ.
• So, today is the day that your total spirituality and its identity should be known by you and your associates to include the devil so that God can now build, restore, and renew where your Will once was out of location with God and Heaven and had built a form of godliness or living a lawless life without righteousness.
• God is the developer, builder, and manufacturer of the soul of man, his existence, and his post existence.
• Your spiritual identity cannot be found in your career, your level of education, how you spend your time; your relations with others; success, wealth, power, physical appearance, reputation and so on. We all have been set up by the world, the flesh, and the devil for a great disappointment in this life on earth of what you believe in and rely upon.
• Not knowing your spiritual identity but defining your identity or self to the world’s standards and tactics as a Christian, or as a religious person, or a spiritual person is not defining your identity because even the sinner says this without a clue as to what it really means.
• Understanding your spiritual identity in God through Jesus starts with an understanding of who God is; what are His thoughts toward you; and what He says about Himself.
• Your identity is defined by who God is making you over to be in Him by rebirthing you back to His image.
• God is unchanging. He is reliable in His word toward all mankind. He is the same yester, today, and forever, but faith is a requirement and not your feelings.
• What you have accomplished is not your identity and it does not strengthen your spiritual foundation.
St Matthew 19:16-29 Remember the rich young ruler and his conversation with Jesus.
• A personal relationship is the first slab of concrete to be placed on your spiritual foundation with Jesus being the Chief cornerstone, not from the prophesy that was spoken to you, nor your Pastor or your overseer, or what you supposedly inherited from a relative.
• Your foundation in Salvation must be Jesus! It must look like the foundation God built in His Son Jesus.
• God created Jesus in His unique design with His intentions. He designed Him to be the perfection of man representing all mankind.
• God did the exact same thing with us individually. We are and must become a carbon copy of Jesus Christ – the Son of God.
• In Him we are chosen by God to become a Son that will continue to carry out God’s intent for mankind.
St John 6:44-45 44 No man can come to Me except the Father which hath sent Me draw him; and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto Me.
• Jesus had to die to perfect God’s Will and plan. We must die to perfect God’s Will, plan, and intent in earth through the dying of our Will and the crucifying of our flesh to become like His Son to attain the perfection of His Son.
• Jesus died for the soul and spirit of man to live as he was originally intended by God.
• We must accept what Jesus Christ did and surrender totally to the Will of God so that we can be set free from the bondages and servitude of our flesh and its Will with its allegiance to the world and the devil through the inheritance of what Adam did.
• Salvations plans require you to die, mortify and crucify your flesh and its desires in the knowledge of good and evil.
• You must be willing to die for the namesake of Christ, that is to die a spiritual death to achieve that which God has chosen you and me to be in.
• Jesus was without sin though He came in the likeness of sinful flesh to redeem mankind to be reconciled back to the Father. God portrayed His Will through a man that is just like you and I in order to understand His perfect Will.
• Therefore, God sees the finished product of you through Christ Jesus to rebuild, restore, reconstruct, and renew you into His image.
• Tell yourself that God had His work cut out for Himself to perfect you back into His image after their likeness.
• To know this should make you willing and obedient to the Will of God for your new life in Him and your Will now being incorporated in His Will.
• God must see your new identity in Him as He carries you through His process of renewal.
• Satan’s tactics and wicked devises is to cut you off from God and His Will for you in and through the systems of this world and your need in them and not in God.
• When God sees your new identity then we are adopted into His Holy family.
• Testimony. When I came into Salvation I had only one request of God. I asked Him for a “holy family” and at the time then I was referring to my natural family. As I began to type up my notes for this message I had to stop and say “low and behold God has fulfilled that by adopting me into His Holy Family. I am a legitimate child of God that has been adopted by the Creator of the Universe and everything and all things to be called His and He holds me in the palm of His Hand, where I am safe from every weapon that was formed and will form against me because of His righteousness in me. Praise the Name of our God!
• God gave me a holy family just as I had asked 32-33 years ago and He is that family, along with you and you.
• I bear the name of Jesus in my spirit.
• I am His child, and He will never disown me or undo the adoption promise, so as it is in Heaven so shall it be in earth.
• The world knows my identity through a system of digital processing, but God knows me through His spiritual processing of the new creature in me that is like Christ Jesus, the Hope of Glory.
• My identity is that I am a son of God. I am His child though the system of this world only recognizes me by a number that they use to track and trace me in their knowledge of good and evil.
• My circumstances may change but who I am in Christ will always remain the same forever.
• My identity is eternal being secured in Christ.
• My worth in man’s sight is short-lived (fleeting: lasting for a very short time), but my spiritual worth in Christ Jesus is priceless and forever.
• I am identified by, through, and in the Word of God:
Genesis 1:27 I was created in the image of God after their likeness.
2 Corinthians 5:17 I am a new creature in Christ. My old life has passed away and all things are new.
1 Peter 2:9 I am a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people showing forth the praises of Him who called me out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I was formed in my mother’s womb God knew me and before I came forth out of her womb God sanctified me and ordained me a prophet to the nations.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Ephesians 2:10 I am His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that I should walk in Him.
Jeremiah 29:11 God says to me for I know the thoughts that I think toward you, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. God told me to think the thoughts that He has of me.
1 Corinthians 12:27 I am a member of the Body of Christ.
St John 15:15 I am a friend of Christ Jesus, and he has made known to me all things that He has heard from the Father.
Ephesians 4:22-24 I have put off my old man and its conversations which was corrupt according to the deceitful lust; I am renewed in the spirit of my mind; and I have put on the new man after Christ which is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Psalm 139:14 I will praise the Lord my God for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous is His works in me and that my soul knows it right well.
• This is my new identity in Christ. My debt to world, the flesh, and the devil has been paid in full by the Blood of Jesus Christ, My Savior and Lord.

Amen
