Who am I? Brent Phillips – Encounter Houston

How many of us are living in a constant state of spiritual amnesia?

We go to church on Sunday and the next day we have already forgotten who we are. As long as we continue to forget who we are we will constantly be robbed of the things that we are suppose to have.

If you don’t know who you are, you open yourself up to the danger of allowing other people to tell you who are. If you don’t know what you’re supposed to be doing you are in danger of allowing others to tell you what is that you’re suppose to be doing, and chances are it wont be the direction that you are to be going.

John 16:7-11 "Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged."

The Holy Spirit’s job in us is to do what Jesus did with his disciples while on earth. The Holy Spirit lives inside of us to tell us who we are, and what it is that we are supposed to be doing.

You should never come away reading the word of God feeling condemned. If you are having a moment of condemnation then you can guarantee that is it is the voice of the enemy.

Romans 8:1 "So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus."

It is he enemy who is wanting to condemn us.

There is no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit’s job is to remind us that there is no condemnation once we are in Christ.

Galatians 5:1 and 7 "So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law. 7 You were running the race so well. Who has held you back from following the truth?"

Christ has set us free, but it is possible for us to get tangled up in the law by trying to do everything right by ourselves. Listen to The Holy Spirit as he calls out the righteousness we have through Jesus Christ.

Stop allowing the enemies voice to count you out; Keep on running the race because it is in our weaknesses that Christ is made strong.
