Run Your RACE: Identity in Christ! 3/23/26 Frame Your Week with the Word

Identity in Christ! RUNNING THE RACE TO FINISH. Today we talk about the Word while celebrating the athletes coming to town this week for the Ironman. KEEPING your EYES on JESUS. To live in our IDENTITY in CHRIST, day after day, year after year, requires us to keep our focus on WHO JESUS IS and WHO WE ARE IN HIM. Key ideas; Faith to walk in our identity in Christ, only comes by the Word. To follow Jesus every day means we stay focused on His Word and Spirit every day. We run our race of faith by keeping our eyes on JESUS. Not ourselves, or the people around us. Heb. 12:1-2 tells us to throw off anything that prevents us from continuing our race. What are things we have to throw off?Past successes and failures both.Old mindsets about living sick or broke, and renewing our minds to our covenant right of healing and provision plus increase. Insecurities, fear, disappointment, anger, depression. How do we have to live? As athletes training to win. Disciplining our lives in prayer and the Study of the Word, and working in our calling every day by faith, not when 'we feel like it.' or when people are standing around cheering us. An athlete gets a training plan and starts executing it. It is a habit, not a daily motivation. We are not allowed to quit our race of faith.We are empowered to not quit. 1 Cor. 9:24-27. How? By looking at Jesus and doing what we do with and for Him. But allowing His Spirit to guide, empower and lead. You are who GOD says you are: A new creation in Him.His Ambassador (testimony giver and mouthpiece). His righteousness.The head, not the tail. You are approved by God, blessed by God and included by God. God, Jesus and the HOly Spirit and all of the angelic back up your calling, purpose and destiny. Need more help?
