Who God Says You Are: Breaking Free from Lies About Your Identity
Hook
Who told you who you are?
Was it your past?
Was it other people’s opinions?
Was it your mistakes?
Or was it God?
Intro:
Hello and Welcome back to The Word Woman.
Here is where we talk about faith, identity, and purpose, especially for those of us navigating seasons where life feels uncertain… and we’re learning how to trust God in a deeper and more intimate way one-step-at-a-time
Because the truth is… a lot of us are living based on labels we never should have accepted.

The Identity Battle Is in Your Mind
The enemy’s goal is to confuse your identity.
Because if he can make you question who you are…
He can keep you stuck.
He’ll plant thoughts like:
• You’re not enough
• You’ll never change
• You’re too broken
• You’re too Old
• God can’t use you
But those are lies.
And if you don’t challenge them, you’ll start living like they’re true.
Where False Identity Comes From
False identities are often formed through:
• Painful experiences
• Rejection
• Failure
• Words spoken over you
I grew up in an abusive household. My dad was an wounded and angry man who mentally and physically abused my mom and his children. He was the only male in a house full of women 1 wife and 4 daughters (which he did not like very much due to wanting a boy so badly) but he would always tell my sisters and I how we should be more like the children down the street from us. How smart and obedient they were amongst other things. Can I tell you he didn’t know those kids or their parents. Over time, those words can shape how you see yourself if you start to believe them.
But just because something happened to you…
Doesn’t mean that’s who you are.
Your identity must come from God, not your circumstances.
Listen, here’s what God himself says about you:
• You are Chosen (Ephesians 1:4)
• You are Fearfully and Wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)
• You are a New Creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)
• You are Free from Guilt and Condemnation (Romans 8:1)
• You are More than a Conqueror (Romans 8:37)
• You are Accepted and Beloved (Colossians 3:12)
• You are Complete in Him (Colossians 2:10)
• You are Victorious (1 Corinthians 15:57)
• You are called a Friend (John 15:15)
There are many more scriptures describing how God views you.
This is your identity.
This is my identity
Not what you’ve been through.
Not what people said.
Not what you feel on your worst day.
Renewing Your Mind Daily
I know you don’t just hear truth once and everything changes.
So, what do you do? You must renew your mind daily.
I know you’ve heard this before and honestly you really don’t want to do it because it’s work.
But Romans 12:2 transform your mind by renewing it.
That means by studying and mediating on God’s word you’re:
• Replacing those lies with truth
• Speaking God’s Word over yourself everyday
• Being intentional about what you believe
Because whatever you believe about yourself…
Will shape how you live. Where the mind goes, the body will follow.
Living From Identity, Not for It
A lot of people are striving to become something…
Instead of realizing they already are who God says they are.
You don’t have to earn your identity.
You don’t have to prove your worth.
You live from it, not for it.
Walking It Out
This is where it becomes practical.
Start asking yourself:
“What does God say about me in this situation?”
When insecurity comes…
When doubt comes…
When you feel unqualified…
Go back to the Word.
Believe it, stand on it.
You are who God says you are.
He predestinated you, called you before time and wrote a whole book about you
And when you truly believe that…
Everything changes.
