Identity Advantage with Daphne Delay

You've heard the phrase, "Fake it til you Make it" but that's not the best advice when it comes to learning your identity in Christ. Instead, we need to learn to FAITH IT until we make it! In this week's episode, Daphne had the privilege of interviewing Marie Myers on Identity Advantage. Rev. Marie (as we affectionately call her on the mission field) is a seasoned minister with a real gift of discernment and wisdom. You will be challenged and equipped by her answer to "What does identity mean to you?" Following the interview, Daphne and Angie share their thoughts on:

• Body language
• Faithing it versus faking it
• And pulling your identity from the inside-out

It's a shame new believers don't learn about our enemy or the ways in which he deceives and attacks at a very early stage in their walk with God. When you think about it, Spiritual Boot Camp should be mandatory--especially when you consider how many people are suffering under attacks of the enemy and don't know why. That's why one of the most important things every believer must understand is the word suffering. The Bible says, "But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you" (1 Peter 5:10). What does this mean? In this week's episode, Daphne and Angie discuss being spiritually prepared and what suffering means in the life of believers.

What does it mean to become what you believe? Well, the Bible says, "As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). This can work in the positive or negative. If you believe a lot of junk about yourself (which is what the devil would like you to do), then you're going to remain defeated. BUT if you believe what the Bible says about you, you will be victorious! In this week's episode, Daphne and Angie dive into this discussion sharing some of their own personal journeys through this process. Learn more about:

• The dangers of bitterness and resentment
• What you are identifying with
• How your identity effects your healing
• What it means to see things as "Win-Win"
• How to confidently choose the spirit over the flesh

This week we recorded on the road from the beautiful mountaintops of Cherokee, North Carolina. And to our delight what was going to be a regular episode turned into a GUEST EPISODE with Cheryl Grayson, Rebecca McInnis, and Monica Doody from Orlando, Florida. You may not know these women but they soon became new best friends, as we all joined together to speak and minister at the North Carolina Women's Conference. But for our gentlemen listeners, don't tune out because it's a bunch of women... As we asked each of them how they discovered their identity in Christ, we were in sheer amazement at the revelation each of them shared. We know this episode will strengthen you! Here's a highlight of what you'll hear:

• The difference between "wheat" and "cheats"
• The importance of staying on the Potter's wheel
• The reason people struggle with the world's definition of identity
• The journey that makes it all worth while!

When you hear the word twilight, do you think of vampire movies? Or the fading light at the end of day? In this week's episode, Daphne and Angie look in-depth at Proverbs, Chapter 7, and the subtle way in which the enemy deceives those who lack understanding. In fact, the Bible warns us to guard our heart (where God's Word hides). And interestingly, the word guard can also describe watching something carefully lest it escape. The devil is working extra hard in today's world to deceive both the wise and the foolish. And he's very patient--because he knows that just as slowly as night creeps in at the end of day, so does deception. Click here to Download Episode

No, we're not literally telling you to go to the gym, but spiritually-speaking, there's a great parallel with how we train and discipline ourselves in the natural. The Bible says, "You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food" (Hebrews 5:12). Ouch! But truthfully, we all need a good coach to tell us exactly what's going on. In this episode, Daphne and Angie talk about:

• Targeting certain areas of growth
• How the Holy Spirit can motivate you
• Growing strong by "reason of use"
• And moving past the unmotivated stage

The Bible says, "Don't get weary in well doing..." meaning it's very possible to get weary! In this week's episode, Daphne and Angie discuss how to handle seasons of weariness. We all have them, but how we get through these times is an indicator of what we're pulling on for our strength. You'll learn proven ways to cast your cares, how to recognize the traps of the enemy, and even a tip on what makes real chocolate milk! (You'll have to tune in to find out what we mean by that!)

We all have opinions. We all have our way of doing things. But in all reality, our thoughts, feelings, strength, and knowledge concerning every situation must decrease to allow HIS truth and revelation to increase.

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie talk about what's required to actually decrease and let Christ shine in our lives. Some people may think to decrease means to lose yourself, but really, when you gain knowledge through God's Word, the requirement is simply to assemble what you've been given. Others will never see Christ (in the forefront of your life) if you never assemble what's been given to you.

COMMENT on this post: Assembly Required

Inspired by the subject of a new book by Doug Spada, the title of this week's podcast speaks volumes all by itself. What does it make you think about?

In this week's episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie share their thoughts on the often unintentional behavior of Christians in the workplace. Atheism is the denial of God, so a "Monday morning atheist" describes one who forgets or goes about their business without God in mind. But why? Why do Christians do this?

This is the topic of our conversation this week!

COMMENT on this post: Monday Morning Athiest

Any one of us could be the author of this quote! But all the more, we should apply it to ourself (from ourself). In other words, you probably need to remind yourself often that your story isn't over yet.

In this episode of Identity Advantage, Daphne and Angie discuss 2 Peter 1:2-11 which gives us a lot of promises that are contingent on some intentional effort. Francis of Assisi once said: "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you're doing the impossible." Growth takes effort. And all of God's promises require our participation--but the reward is always worth it!
