Many Christians confuse issues of identity with sin struggles. As new creations, we require spiritual nourishment to build our identity. In this episode, I highlight Jesus as our “daily bread” and how embracing scriptural truths about our identity in Him enhances our relationship with God as Father. It also acts as an anchor in life’s storms, offering assurance, self-worth, provision, and security. The episode provides practical “I am” declarations for those interested in sonship, priesthood, and living by grace. #IdentityinChrist #IdentityinGod

Welcome to On This Rock, the discipleship podcast that trains you to follow Jesus Christ. As you listen, we trust you'll gain a deeper understanding of who he is and anchor your identity in Him. Christ in you is the only hope of receiving God's glory. Trade your pebble for the rock of ages. Welcome to the show with your host, author, and seasoned Bible teacher, Nana Anci. Hey, loyal listeners. Thanks for joining me. Happy New Year. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. It's so good to be with you. Today we're gonna talk about a very important topic that God highlighted to me this week and has been burning on my heart. It's about identity in Christ. Many Christians have an identity problem. They think they have a sin problem, but what they actually have is an identity problem. They haven't come into the identity in Christ, and so they don't really know who they are or how to deal with the things that they go through in life because they're not anchored in that identity. our identity in him is an anchor that keeps us through the storms and situations of life because once we find our identity. It does something for us. It gives us security, it gives us a sense of self-worth. It gives us provision, it gives us safety. it just supplies everything we need because what we need comes out of our relationship with God as father. And our relationship with God as father requires that we know who we are as children of God. who we are as sons and daughters, as new creations in Christ. And many people don't truly have this understanding. And so we may have had knowledge about it, but the, the hot knowledge has not quite come yet. We're all on this journey of discovering. I'm on that journey. You are on that journey. But today I'm gonna share what God has shared with me that has helped me, so far. And it's so important that we understand this because this is the purpose of Jesus's redemption. He came to redeem us to bring sons and daughters into glory. That's what the Bible says. The Bible says he came to bring sons and daughters to glory. I share about this in the episode on glory, Christ our glory. And so today we're gonna talk about. How we can fix that identity, how we can come into knowledge and understanding of our identity and restoring our identity is so important because once we are restored, it deals with a lot of our fears. Many people live by fear instead of the love of God. That's still in Old Testament mentality and they, they haven't quite settled in the rest that Jesus. Die to give us. They haven't come into the rest of faith. The rest of believing the rest that comes through believing, they're still working, striving, I have areas in my life where I'm still dealing with that, where God is still pruning me and working on me to bring me into identity so that I can access the provision that he has for me in his glory. So my, my soul has to be restored. I must deal with this so that I can have a right relationship with him. it's really about renewing our mind. what God showed me really is that identity coming into identity. It, we know it's renewing our mind, but it's really based on eating daily bread, taking who he says we are and consuming it as daily bread. So after I've shared about. About what that looks like, what bread looks like. I'm gonna talk about the practical application of that. How do you practically enter into your identity in Christ? We are gonna go through I am statements that I hope you will put into your. Everyday activity, everyday habit or prayer life. And in the coming weeks, I'm gonna go through the Lord's Prayer because When Jesus' disciples asked him to teach them about prayer, the first thing he did was to teach them about their relationship to God as father and as children to a father, because this shapes everything. We are a kingdom of priests. We're called to priesthood, but our priesthood. the foundation is this relationship, this relationship that gives us identity. Everybody's identity comes from their parentage, even in the natural right identity comes from our parentage. Our DNA that DNA tells us explains a lot of the things that we, we go through, in terms of our character, right? And in some of the experiences that people have, some of the patterns in families, it tells them about what, who they are in the natural, but we've been redeemed. In Christ, and God has given us a new identity, a spiritual identity that is supposed to change that DNA, that natural DNA, that is supposed to fix the iniquities that we have in that DNA and the issue that many people have is they're trying to fight those things without an understanding of their, of their identity. So for instance, dealing with poverty, poverty's an identity issue. It's an identity. Jesus took our poverty on the cross so that we would share in his riches. It's, it's connected to our identity. It's an exchange. It's part of the exchange. He did the trade that he did on the cross, but, but many people treat that as something. That's merely connected to eliminating maybe poverty in, in their bloodline without coming into the identity that they've been justified to prosper in Christ. And that includes material provision. So this is an area where I'm being schooled in the scriptures and one they stay tuned. I'm gonna share on that. But today I'm just gonna share broadly about identity, using the analogy of bread because this is how God shared it with me. And so that's how I'm gonna share it with you. I remember a time when I was just declaring identity statements after a time of prayer, it's like around 5:00 AM or so. And I prayed, I had this habit, still have a habit of praying early and late, and I just prayed in tongues for about an hour and then. I started going through my declarations and I started declaring who I am in Christ, and God did something supernatural. he opened my spiritual understanding. He opened and he didn't just open my understanding to see what I was doing, but he made it very real to me. I started to smell bread. I was in DC I've shed about this in different episodes. I was in DC I was in my study. My neighbor's house was some distance from my house, where I lived. In the Kalorama district, the houses are very separate from each other and so it was not an apartment building, it was not, a row house or a terrace house, as they call it. It was, it was a standalone building. And I was, in my study at dawn, we didn't have bread on and I started to smell bread and God was showing me supernaturally that I was eating bread. And recently he reminded me of that again. after a time of trial I was going through affirmations, and just declaring who I am in Christ on a very specific issue. And and he started to remind me that this is bread and this is daily bread specifically. So Jesus actually said that he is the bread of life in John 6 35. He tells us that. And you think about in Jesus died to give us. His body and his blood. That's the basis of our covenant, right from Genesis when Abraham met Melek, whose priesthood Jesus is in. Malade gave Abraham bread and wine and, and the last suppa, Jesus reinstituted this priesthood of melek by giving his disciples bread and wine. And then he told them to continue. To what? Reenact this. Proclaim this. Until he returns. And one day, we'll, we'll talk about communion, but I just wanna bring that back to this issue of priesthood. That we are called to be a kingdom of priests, to be a people who minister to God through prayer, through offering sacrifices of prayer. And, and out of that comes other sacrifices too. And Jesus is our high priest who is in heaven, who is praying constantly. If you think about it, his fivefold ministry was only for three years. But he's been in eternity for 2000 years. Praying, this is it. This is it. The fivefold is supposed to bring us into our priesthood, our identity. It's connected. And so Jesus', first teaching in the Lord's Prayer was to teach about our father. So I'm gonna go through a series on priesthood, and I'm studying this really to set the tone. To set the tone and when I, when I start that, I'm also gonna talk about, give us our daily bread and, and go into a whole teaching about it. But today I'm gonna touch on it again, that Jesus is our bread, and he said also when he was tempted by Satan, this is what he told Satan. He said In, in it's recorded in Matthew four, four, he answered It is written. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Now, first of all, he said it is written. It is written. That is still the way to overcome. It is written when temptation comes. If you don't know who you are through what is written, you may not survive your temptation, your trials, your issues. You may find yourself caught up in a cycle because you haven't anchored yourself in the scripture. About who you are. He said, we live by, not physical bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God, the preceding word, which means that it is a daily bread that is not stale. It is. It is preceding. It is present Continuous. The tense shows you that this is something that is. A living word. It's not stale, it's not dead, it's not something from yesterday. It's a staple in your diet because it's daily bread. Every population has a staple in that diet. And in many cultures, bread is that staple in the Jewish culture. That's that staple. And Jesus used that analogy. So he's saying, every day we need fresh bread. Fresh bread about identity. We need God to highlight for us. what part of our identity we are gonna need to stand on to be anchored in, to overcome the temptations and the trials and the challenges of the day. And so many people will interpret their challenges as a sin problem, but really it's because they didn't. Have, they don't have an understanding or they didn't prepare to arm themselves with that kind of food, to be able to exercise the, the spiritual senses and to overcome the temptations. And so we need to see it as daily bread. The scriptures that tell us about who we are, the, the I am statements, that we can derive out of who the Bible says Christ is, and Christ is our new identity. So we start from, we start from Galatians two 20 where Paul says that I have been crucified with Christ, the life I now live. Not I, but Christ lives in me. I live by the fate of the Son of God. So, so it is he. He traded places with us so that we can take on his identity. But many people are still trying to live out of that old identity, out of that old mindset. Their mind has not been renewed yet. We renew our mind by consuming knowledge of Christ as daily bread. As bread from heaven. He is the manna, the bread from heaven. before God could take the Israelites into their promise, he had to feed the manna every day. They had to learn to live on manna. They had to learn who they are in Christ. They had to learn daily to eat daily bread. It was a very specific type of food. It was bread, a staple, and it came from heaven. Jesus is our bread from heaven and, and he's a supernatural food for our spirit, man.'cause we are spirit beans. And once we feed our spirit, then we can, our soul can also be transformed. Once our spirit catches the revelation, our soul can change its way of thinking, to not conform to the world, but to be conformed to who God says we are, so that we can relate with God and live by his will and live, to please him and live as children who wanna please their father and, and, and come into the provision that he has for us. And so we have to consume this scripture. We have to eat it. So that's, that's really the first thing I wanna say about that. Now let's talk about. The content of that identity. I wanna go through it. So this is a very practical session because I really want to deal with us consuming bread in a practical way. Not just to give you, a doctrine, not just to, come here and just tell you about, uh, a theory or it's philosophical idea. No, it's not a philosophical idea. Bread is something very practical. You eat bread, we are gonna consume the word, the logos, that becomes a living word. You have to eat it until it becomes alive in you and it changes your perspective. It changes how you are living. It changes your perception about the things that you are going through in life so that you, because the enemy knows this, he knows he's defeated, he knows that God says in in Romans. That if he didn't spare his son for us, but gave him up for, uh, sins, how much more will he not give us what we need? Right? So God has already given us everything we need according to the scriptures. We read it in, two Peter, uh, one, three, and four. Peter says, God has given us. Everything. The provision is already there. He says he supplies it to us according to his richest and glory through Christ. It's all there, but it comes through Christ. It is through Christ. It does not come through the old man. it's like Isaac and East and it's like Isaac. And Ishmael, and also Issa and Jacob. The provision, the blessing, the promise, what God says, it's all coming through that new identity. The Isaac, it's not coming through the one that's produced by the flesh, the old mindset, the old way of doing things. The old nature. No, it's not the fallen nature that that produces an Ishmael that. God does not give an inheritance to the inheritance that he promised that he blessed Ishmael, but Ishmael did not get the inheritance he promised, which is Christ, which is through Christ. So he stands in for a type of Christ and everything he went through, was to show us that. And he's also the bloodline of Christ. So. we have to understand that the God's relationship with us is through Christ. Christ is the channel. I've thought about this in other places, that Christ is the channel that he came. Only the son could show us the Father. And so that was his main objective in redeeming us to show us the Father. But we can't know the father if we don't know Christ. We need to know the son, and then we know how to fellowship with the father. So the first thing we need to know, I'm gonna go through some statements here. the first thing I need to know is that I am a child of. John tells us in John one 12 the gospel of John, that to those who believe in Jesus, he gave the power, he gave the authority to become sons of God. And sonship is a, is a gender neutral concept because Christ is son and we're all sons'cause we're all in Christ. But I'm still going to use daughters and sons. Just to be correct politically correct, if it offends your sense of, your correctness in, in about gender, titles. So he, he made us all children of God. So the first thing is, I am a child of God. Now, there's a lot in that because the, because if you're not a child of God, then. you're an orphan. If you're not a child of God, you're lost if you're not a child of God. So this is basic, and this is important and, and this sounds very obvious, but saying that to you actually is healing because there are a lot of people who say that, but they don't believe it. That's the issue. You believe that you are a child of God. It starts to do something to you because you recognize that you can call God, Abba. You can call him my father. And there is healing in that because you know that if you're going through life, you're not going through life alone. You're not abandoned. Many people deal with abandonment, and abandonment is a wound. It's a wound of the soul and one of the areas where many people experience abandonment. Is when they're going through suffering and trials. When you're going through an A, a difficult experience, you're going through a divorce, you're going through a job loss, you are going through a time where people are just, you feel misunderstood. You are going through a time where you just feel like everything is against you. You've, everything in your life breaks down. you just many different situations. a time of abuse, a time, all kinds of different kinds of abuse going through things in life that are just painful and awful. You can feel abandoned. You can feel like God is not with you a time of sickness. maybe you have cancer. Whatever you may think that God has left you, that God doesn't care about you. That's, that's abandonment and it leads to a wound. it creates a soul wound. And so people go through life as Christians, but they feel abandoned. They don't connect with God, and it creates offense because you feel like God left me when I needed him, or you feel like God wasn't there. Meanwhile, God says He will never leave you and he will not forsake you because you are his child. And that's a promise. And so to say that God has left you is really to say that God is a liar, is to really, to slander him because it's to say unpleasant things about him that are untrue. And that's what we do when we don't believe in what God says about us. So when I say that I am a child of God. The next statement to that will be, I'm not abandoned. I'm not abandoned. No matter what I'm going through, I'm not abandoned. So when life situations tell me that I'm abandoned, I need to speak to my life situations. I need to speak to my heart too and say, no, I'm not abandoned. This is truth. And the thing about truth is you are not denying the facts that are you're going through. But the truth will, if you wait it out. The truth will stand. The truth will prevail. If you stand on the truth, and truth is a sword, it's a sword of the spirit in, in Ephesians six, which means there are times where you have to take it to fight because the enemy will challenge that. The enemy challenged Jesus' identity when he was tempted. Satan actually said, if you are the son of God and there's a prophecy in the Old Testament, Psalm two actually says that Psalm two, there's a prophecy that way. he says that today I've called you my son. You are my beloved son. And then when Jesus was baptized, God said the same thing, you are my beloved son. And John said, here, I'm here to witness about that. God said, whoever you hear me saying this about, he is the Christ. And so when he saw that, even though he grew up with Jesus as his cousin, he didn't know his true identity until God said, you are my beloved son. And John said. Uh, now I know you are the Christ. And so when the teachers of the law and the Pharisees and all those people came to find out who John was, he said, it's not me. And then when Jesus went through the baptism and God spoke, he said, now I witnessed that he is the Christ.'cause this was my assignment. I came to witness and God spoke about him. The devil had all that. And the devil still said, if you are the son. Do X, Y, Z. Turn the bread into food. so the devil challenged Jesus' identity, you bet he's gonna challenge your identity and mine too. And God says, we gotta fight. and he has explained what that the sword is. He said, the sword is it's the of the Spirit. And it's the Word of God. It's the Word of God. In Hebrews four 12, he says, it's a double-edged sword. The living word. Now Paul says the sword of the spirit, which means it's the living word, which means. It's the word that the Holy Ghost has infused, has inspired. It's not, it's not just you proclaiming it, but it's you proclaiming it to the point of faith, to the point where it's a living word, to the point where it, it's, it's a living thing in you. It's alive, it's bread that's making you grow spiritually. It it's something, it's an, it's a, it's an attitude of mind. It's a weapon that you use to cut down strongholds ways of thinking. the Bible says we cuts down strongholds and imaginations and every high thing exalting itself against the knowledge of God. So it shows you where the why is it's in the mind. It's our attitudes. And, and this is, this is, this scripture is from Corinthians where Paul tells the Corinthians in, I believe it's second Corinthians, 10, four and five, where he, he says that our, our weapons. Not canal, but they're mighty through God. They're not fleshly weapons, but they're so we don't engage with what we're going through. Like it's just a canal situation with canal weapons, But he says that the weapons are mighty to cuss down struggles. So to renew your mind. You are gonna have to sometimes cast down strongholds. I have to cast down strongholds. You have to cast down strongholds because we've had generations that have rehearsed these ways of thinking and passed them down the DNA and the bloodline. And Peter tells us in Fed Peter that we have been redeemed from the empty way of life, handed down to us by tradition. One Peter one 18 through our ancestors, through our fathers, through, our natural parentage. In other words, that's what the Father stands for. So now we have come into a new reality where the word of God, the incorruptible seed of the word of God, has made us new creations in Christ. That's what Peter also says, that we are new creations in Christ. We are born again with the incorruptible seed of the word of God. So now that word that gave bed to you, that substance is also the substance that makes you grow into maturity. And, and for a season it's like manna. And for our lives, it's a daily bread. It's something, it's a daily staple before you come into maturity, the fullness of the Christ. And the first thing is we need to know we're not abandoned. We are children, first of all. Secondly, we're not abandoned. And so I am a child of God, and that means I'm not abandoned. But we're not focusing on the negative so much as the positives. we're looking at the implication of, of looking at the positive. If you are a child, then God doesn't abandoned you, and one of the ways that the devil cheats. Tries to cheat Christians out of identity is with this issue of righteousness because the war is about righteousness and the devil wants to make us live in Old Testament mentality and where we're trying to earn God's approval. And God says, if you earn my, if you try to earn my approval, you can't get my grace. It's all by grace. God credits us with this new bed. He credits us with his righteousness. Scripture says I, I have teachings on that, so I'm not gonna go into details here for the sake of time. But he credits us with his righteousness so that we have something that is received by faith and not by we, we are approved. He already says, you are approved. I am approved. I am a child of God. I am approved. I am approved, means I don't have to try to earn God's approval. Because he has already approved me as righteous, and this is in he reads, RO Romans four romances in general talks about God's approval, by faith And contrast that with trying to earn that approval by trying to just live right without depending on faith in Christ for that approval. Now that approval ends up making you live right, but it's not the cut before the horse. once, because once you come into faith, God really does deposit a substance in us. He does give us a spirit, and his spirit is supposed to enable us to live by grace because the standard God is asking of us in the New Testament, which is the lava and enemies, is not possible without grace. And the the standard and the provision, everything is through grace. So the enemy challenges our identity to try to in this area. To make us feel like we don't, we're not worthy of things that God says we're worthy of because what He's given to us is through Christ is worth, that has been transferred to us. So that that's an important thing that we need to also lock down, that I am the righteousness of God in Christ. That's your identity. You are righteous, legally, it's a legal thing before it becomes your character. It's a legal position. It comes through the blood of Jesus and I've talked about it at Lent in the episode on the blood and, and different places. So my point here really is to give you the statements that you need to. Really rehearse and consume and take scriptures that are relevant to, so that you can stand on your feet and, and fight back when the enemy challenges your identity, but also so that you can come into relationship and lock down the right foundation for priesthood, which we're gonna be talking about, and also the foundation for your inheritance in God. So there are many I am statements and I'm gonna go through them quickly for the sake of time, and if any pops out, then I'll just focus on it. But in the coming weeks, on the institute, on the Rock Channel YouTube channel, I'm gonna try to do studies on. Each one, or at least just different groups, try to unpack, unpack them in different teachings. But for now, I'm just gonna list the statements to give you your am or your weapon to give you your sword to fight. So I am a child of God is the first one we established. I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I am called in Christ. Now I'm a child of God. We've already talked about the vest that comes from John one 12, and then I'm the righteousness of God in Christ. That also comes from Romans 3 24, and then I am called in Christ. That's Romans one, six. I have redemption in Christ. That's Romans 3 24. Once again, that verse has so many good things. I reign in life by Christ. That's Romans five 17. I am alive unto God through Christ. That's Romans six 11. I have eternal life through Christ. Romans six 11. I have eternal life. Okay, I've said that already. I am a joint air with Christ. Romans eight 17. I am sanctified in Christ. First Corinthians one, two. My body is a member of Christ. First Corinthians six 15, I have victory through Christ. First Corinthians 1557. I triumph in Christ. Two Corinthians two 14. Now each one I could do a whole teaching on each one. For instance, triumphing in Christ. What does that mean? Maybe I'll end on that note today and, and, and have to come back. But like I said, I wanna continue this on the Institute on the Rock Channel because I wanna talk about priesthood here in the coming weeks. But we'll see how God leads. If I, if I have to just keep on doing that here too, I'll just do that. Or in both places, because this is something he's highlighting, that the body needs to really. Engage with the identity from what is written in the scriptures. So I'm gonna just finish on this note, and then we'll say a prayer. He said. He says in two Corinthians two 14 that God makes us, the Bible says, Paul says, God makes us triumph in Christ. What is triumph? Triumph is more than victory. I triumph because a victory has been won. I celebrate the victory. Jesus the Bible says, isn't a triumphant procession where he's he. Colossians three tells us that he has disarmed his enemies and his enemies. It's like he's in a chariot. It is using image from the Roman. Empire from the time when the enemies that were captured were paraded, like paraded in front of a crowd, and the victor would just in their chariot, parade them behind with the enemies behind them. To just like the spoils of war. To display them, right, to celebrate his victory. So Jesus is doing that. Jesus has conquered Satan in his kingdom, conquered sin, conquered death, conquered sickness, conquered everything evil that was meant to come to us. And Jesus is celebrating in his cha. And God, the Bible says, mix us to triumph with him, but how are we gonna triumph with him? Because you may be going through a situation where you don't feel like triumphing. You may be going through a situation where you feel rejected, but the Bible says you're not rejected. That's another I am statement that comes from Ephesians one, six. You are accepted in the beloved, and you may feel like you're rejected, but God says you're accepted. Now you, how are you gonna triumph over a rejection by getting in the child with him and celebrating, celebrating that victory, celebrating that you are not rejected. People may reject you, but hey, you are not rejected. God accepts you. You may be going through a time, a season where you've lost your job and you're going through a die situation. And God says, Jesus took your poverty so that you would share in his riches. And all this comes to us by grace. You get in the chariot and you triumph. So you get in the chariot by faith. By faith, you declare, you take on that identity. You get in there and you see yourself as triumphant in him because he's triumphant. And remember Galatians two 20 says you died and now he lives. So if he lives in you and he's triumphant, then you are triumphant and that is truth. So it's the belt of truth. You put that on. That's also a piece of am that's a defensive weapon that actually it's the am the piece that holds all the am together is the belt of truth. And then you take up your shield of faith and the sword of the spirits fight. So you put the belt on, which is girding up the loins of your mind, in the Old Testament. And they, they, they had the belt. It's from the old, it's from the Roman Empire, from the, the soldiers, the, you can Google that to see a picture of that and to see how that looks like, but it holds everything together. So the truth says you are triumphant, which means my circumstances may look terrible, but I don't have to give into my circumstances. I speak truth to my circumstances eventually God is gonna cause it to line up when I come into faith. But he demands faith'cause it's the only way to please him. It's the only way to pull what has already been done in eternity into time. So on that note, I just wanna encourage you to take these I am statements, to go find more in the scriptures. Google them if you can, just make a list of I am statements and start to eat this bread. Find areas in your life, pinpoint them. Ask Holy Ghost to show you. Where is the area in my bloodline where I need to really go after with my identity with a specific weapon in my identity. That the enemy has used against me in 2025, and he's gonna try to do the same thing in 2026, but 2026, I'm going to prevail because I'm gonna stand on my identity. That's a good thing to ask God about, and so let's pray and let's thank the Lord that he has made us new creations in Christ. I thank you, father that I'm a new creation in Christ. I thank you, father, that my relationship with you gives me a new identity. I am not rejected. I'm accepted in the beloved. I'm not abandoned. I'm a child of God. I am fathered from above. I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I thank you, lo Lord, that out of that righteousness flows everything else I am justified. Declared to be righteous made. Righteous to prosper. It means that I prosper. I'm entitled to prosper in soul, in spirit, embody materially in the name of Jesus. And so Father I. Thank you for this new identity. I bless you for this new identity, and I pray that in 2026 you will cause me to be anchored in my identity. In the name of Jesus, we are dealing with foundations when we're talking about identity. It is the foundation that produces the fruit. It's the root that produces the fruit, and we wanna bed the right fruits. And so I hope this really blessed you. If it did, I encourage you to share it and, yes, I look forward to returning with more installments, either about identity or just going into the priesthood, which is my plan. But we'll see how I feel led. I'm just gonna go as I'm led. And if you haven't subscribed to Institute on the Rock, it's a new channel, YouTube channel. Go subscribe to that.
