Creflo A. Dollar : “Getting in Sync With Your Jesus Identity”
Living From Who You Truly Are in Christ
Your identity in Christ is not something you’re trying to earn, grow into, or eventually achieve. It is the truth of who you already are—right now. Learning to live in sync with that truth changes how you think, how you respond, how you love, and how you overcome the battles that come against your mind.
Many believers know the phrase “my identity in Christ,” but they’ve never been taught how to walk it out in real life. Tonight, that becomes practical.
To live in sync with your Jesus identity means choosing to align your thoughts, your emotions, and your actions with what God has already declared over you: you are righteous, holy, forgiven, and complete in Him.
You’re not trying to become these things—they’re already yours because Jesus Himself is your righteousness, your holiness, and your completeness.
So when a thought rises up—temptation, insecurity, anger, shame—you speak back to it boldly:
“That’s not me anymore.”
And if it comes back six times in two minutes, you answer six times:
“That’s not who I am.”
The enemy wants to test if you believe what God says about you. But when you stand firm in your identity, heaven stands behind you.
Your Identity in Christ Changes How You Handle Relationships
Let’s talk about marriage or any close relationship. When tension shows up, your old identity may want to respond with pride, insecurity, or the need to win the argument. But your true identity responds from love, compassion, kindness, humility, and patience—because these things are already in you. You’re not trying to manufacture the fruit of the Spirit. You’re living from the fullness already planted inside you.
When a conflict arises, you simply say:
“This isn’t who I am anymore. I respond from love.”
That one shift can change the atmosphere of your home.
Your Identity Transforms the Way You Work
At work, you may feel unseen, pressured, or undervalued. But your Jesus identity reminds you:
“I’m not working for approval. I’m working from rest, as unto the Lord.”
When you know you’re complete in Christ, you bring peace instead of striving, creativity instead of insecurity, and calm instead of stress. You stop living for people’s validation because you already have God’s approval.
Your Identity Gives You Power Over Temptation
Temptations and setbacks don’t define you—they reveal where you need to remind yourself of the truth. Whether it’s addiction, lust, anger, or unforgiveness, your response is the same:
“That’s not me anymore. I am in Christ. I am forgiven. I am complete.”
The devil attacked Adam and Eve’s identity.
He attacked Jesus’ identity.
And he attacks yours—because your identity is the seed of your authority.
When you know who you are, you don’t have to shout at the devil. You speak with quiet authority because heaven backs every word.
Your Identity Must Come Into Alignment
Everything God has done for you is finished. Your part is to align your life with what already is—like aligning a satellite dish so it can receive the signal. You don’t create your identity; you simply agree with it and live from it.
Living from your true identity will change how you fight temptation, how you love people, how you work, and how you walk in authority. It’s not a performance. It’s a daily alignment with the truth:
“In Christ, I already am everything God says I am.”
