We as believers must reclaim the truth of our identity in Christ. It is vitally important that our identity lines up with our goals for your life and health in order to help us actually achieve our goals. But then the next question is… what is my identity?
This is a very special interactive edition of the healthy, free life show. It's all about the truth of who you are! You'll hear "I am..." statements in four categories. It's because of who Christ is and what he did on the cross for you, that you are enough. You are enough because Christ is enough. And when we believe in him, we are given the gift of his identity.
Listen now to see how…
00:40 We as believers must reclaim the truth of our identity in Christ
01:10 When you know and embrace who we are in Christ, you can then become the person that God made you to be
01:53 When we believe the lies of the enemy, we operate and behave in ways so that we self fulfill the prophecy and continuously are never enough
04:29 Truths for when you forget who you are, whose you are and what you've been given
06:05 Truths when you are feeling lonely, unloved or insecure
07:27 Truths when you are faced with temptation

"The reality is you are not enough. This is why we needed a savior. It's because of who Christ is and what he did on the cross for you, that you are enough. You are enough because Christ is enough. And when we believe in him, we are given the gift of his identity." - Katrina

Episode #008: Identity in Christ: 63 I AM Affirmations
This will be a very special interactive edition of the Healthy Free Life Show. We are diving into your identity. We as believers must reclaim the truth of our identity in Christ. In episode six, I talk about how vitally important it is to make sure that our identity lines up with our goals for our life and our health in order to help us to actually achieve our goals.
But then the next question comes and it's, "What is my identity?" Not based upon what I or people around me say that I am, but who does God say that I am? When you know and embrace who we are in Christ, you can then become the person that God made you to be. Listen, there is a war raging in the heavenlies.
The enemy is after your heart, your soul, and your mind. He distorts the truth and tells you lies, lies that we accept as truth such as, "I'm not enough. I can't do it. I am not worthy. I am unloved. I am so ashamed. I am a failure." These lies are then on repeat in our head and we've listened to them for so long that we believe them and accept them as truth.
If we believe the lie that we are not enough, we are then going to operate and behave in ways so that we self-fulfill that prophecy and continuously are never enough. The reality is you are not enough. This is why we needed a savior. It's because of who Christ is and what he did on the cross for you, that you are enough.
You are enough because Christ is enough. And when we believe in him, we are given the gift of his identity. Listen, if you continue to believe the lies, you will never experience the abundant life that Christ has freely given you. So what have you replaced those lies that are in your head with the truth of who you are, according to what the Bible says? You have the power to conquer these lies by knowing who you are in Christ and claiming it.
When you realize the power of your true identity, you can shed the burdens of your past. You can stand against the evil schemes and become the person that Christ empowers you to be. You must reclaim the truth of your identity in Christ. It is time to live in your true identity. We're going to start that here in this episode. I have a total of 63 "I am" statements that I'm going to be sharing with you. These statements are from scripture. These "I am" statements are broken into four different categories. In the show notes, I will provide the timestamps for each of the categories so that you can easily navigate to the category if desired.
If you would love a copy of these "I am" statements along with their scripture references, you can find the link to request the list in the show notes or visit healthyfreelife.com/8. And you will find the link under resources. This episode is going to require your participation. I'm going to say the "I am" statement.
I will pause and I want you to then repeat the "I am" statement out loud, if you can, maybe even looking at yourself in the mirror and saying it. So for example, if I say "I am enough," I will pause, and then you will say, "I am enough." And so on. I'd really encourage you to bookmark and save this episode and consider coming back here daily or as often as you need to do this exercise until these statements sink deep into your mind and your soul, and until you truly believe them. Let's begin.
When you forget who you are, whose you are, and what you've been given, remember, because of Christ:

It is time to stand on the truth of who you are, dear one. Then come back tomorrow and listen again, lest you forget. I will leave you with this reminder from Galatians 2:20, "You have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in you and the life you now live in the flesh, you live by faith in the Son of God who loves you and gave himself for you."
Until next time. Bye for now.
