Putting Off the Old Title

I just removed from my identity the first "handle" or "title" that I had embraced as an 18 year old new baby christian.

"A Grain of Sand To Irritate the Oyster"

This is a bold, outrageous lie from Satan. I was able to easily believe this lie as from the Lord because it was a glorified version of my perverted identity when I was lost and part of the domain of the world and dwelling in the lair of deceit. It was even personally modified through the years as I grew in the grace and knowledge of who I am in Christ in order to make it sound more like truth. Therefore, it gradually became "A Grain of Sand To Create the Pearl." I never was this identity but because the enemy had me believing I was, He was able to keep in my life other lies. Many, many lies have died to me as I grew, but God is loosening a few powerful strongholds in my life that are all attached to lies that I held on to tenaciously.

I have been going through Breaking Free by Beth Moore. So far, two very powerful, insidious lies with strongholds in my life are being torn down and though this is just the beginning of an arduous journey, some of the fruit of repentance is already very sweetly tasted.

Praise be to Jesus for His bountiful grace! And for the gracious love of my husband, children and church family.
