WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  IMPOSTOR’S SYNDROME

Impostor’s syndrome is one of psychology’s “buzz words.” People suffering from impostor syndrome often fears being exposed as a fraud. They accomplish great things, yet cannot accept that they are successful. They feel like they are impostors.  They suffer from perfectionism. They may be successful but do not feel like it. They are plagued with self-doubt. Another thing these people do is self-sabotage because they see themselves as a failure. Even though deep down the want to succeed and prove others wrong.  

One of the ways to overcome these life destroying things is to change the way you talk to yourself. Negative self-talk contributes to a lot of issues. Depression and anxiety are also caused by negative self-talk. Our words have power.

Focusing on things beyond our control can lead to a feeling of helplessness. As children of God, all this should go away when we realize who we are in Christ. Understanding that we are made by a loving God who wants us to understand our identity. He cares about us, because we are made in his image and likeness.

Gen 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

How many times does the enemy try to convince us that we are impostors. We say we are Christians and he tries to condemn us for past sins.  When we make a mistake, he tries to convince us that we are not good enough to be forgiven. We know that on our own we could never be good enough. But God made a way after the fall of those he created.

Our identity cannot be wrapped up in other people’s opinions. The only opinion that matters is the one of our God. He says, we are blessed, chosen, adopted, favored, redeemed, loved, forgiven, child of the king, redeemed by the blood of the lamb. We have been adopted into the family of God and that gives us rights as heirs.

I John 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

We change from the sinful life to a life full of God. We receive a new identity in Christ. When the Holy Ghost comes in us to dwell, he will help us to live a purified life.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

We should not have impostor’s syndrome when we have God’s Spirit. Because he will lead and guide us. We are blessed, anointed and favored; we walk in his divine ways. He will shape our identity and our future. We will be the real deal as long as we allow him to work in our lives.

Until next time,
