Identity is power! The idea of who you think you are holds power in both the visible and invisible worlds, fueling your capacity. It isn’t enough to simply hear God’s call; power is unlocked when you begin to appropriate that grace. It is about developing an internal, God-level consciousness, for your identity in Christ unlocks divine possibilities.

Imagine how you would live and function if you saw yourself as the child of the Most High, a carrier of the highest Spirit, and a conqueror walking in that confidence. 

Your life is a product of the identity you carry - it will either rise to your identity or fall to it. Identity fuels possibilities and relationships. How can you be a blessing if you don’t know you have the power to bless?

Your identity fuels your words - granting confidence in who God has called you to be. When you truly understand your identity, you will stop merely praying about certain things and begin speaking them into existence. Jesus said, "Speak to the mountain." Stop praying about things that you must be commanding!

Your identity will decide how you fight - there is a difference in how kings wage war and function on the battlefield. Kings don’t complain; they command resources and master the art of warfare with words. Your identity will determine how you fight and how long you fight. 

May God reconnect you to your original identity and to who He has called you to be. 

“One of the servants said to Saul, ‘One of Jesse’s sons from Bethlehem is a talented harp player. Not only that—he is a brave warrior, a man of war, and has good judgment. He is also a fine-looking young man, and the Lord is with him.’”‭‭ 1 Samuel‬ ‭16‬:‭18‬ ‭

You cannot be a warrior on the outside if you aren’t first a warrior on the inside. This is the formula that sustains you in the presence of kings.

A Man of Valor has nothing to do with fighting on the battlefield but everything to do with the battles within. It’s about conquering the battlefield of the mind.

The area you develop will bring you access.

A Man of Valor has mastered his inner life, building his capacity for pressure to navigate life without being overwhelmed. Develop internal governance. God is preparing a group to function as kings.

Jesus is the greatest example of a king whose heart is not to exalt Himself but to lay down His love for others. Yet, Christ-like leadership is not devoid of self-respect and honor. Living a defeated life is not a Christlike life.

What good would it be if David confronted Goliath on the battlefield, only to lay down his life instead of defeating him? A true Christ-like leader wins battles on behalf of those who cannot. We enter the battle to WIN!

Becoming skilled is not contradictory to being anointed. Being called and anointed is not enough—without skill, you may never occupy the seat prepared for you. 

David was skilled in playing, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and the LORD was with him (1 Samuel 16:18)

What was the point of David learning an instrument? That which seemed skilled but unnecessary for his calling was the area that first got access to his calling.

Function in the area of your development! God uses the area that you are skilled in. 

Availability alone is not enough for God to use you—you must become a well-developed vessel. If your revelation is mediocre, you function in mediocrity.

The skill you are willing to develop is the skill that can be anointed. The anointing flows into every area you are willing to develop. 

Joseph’s gift was interpreting dreams, but along the way, from his father’s house to the palace, he developed into a skilled strategist who brought solutions.

The gift of a man makes room for him, but the oil brings solutions to more than what he was invited for. You need both.

You know you are developed when you find yourself in the company of kings. 

In the Kingdom of God, it is not the show of power or brute force that allows you to inherit a throne. The principles we engage in to rise within the kingdom are very different from those outside the kingdom.

In the Kingdom of Light, it must be given to you by the Lord. 

Judah was not the firstborn, yet the scepter of kingship was placed on him because he carried the heart of a king. He became an extension of his father’s heart, stepping in to protect Benjamin. Willing to sacrifice himself for his brother, foreshadowing Christ’s ministry. From Judah’s lineage came David, and ultimately, Jesus Christ.

The quality of your heart matters! 

Dominion isn’t just about skill—it’s about the heart. Many don’t rise, not because they lack desire but because they lack the right heart. Scripture says God sought a man—not just David. There is a condition, a requirement. The first quality is to have the nature and heart of God.

This heart of sacrifice is what qualifies one for the throne in God’s kingdom. The key is to be willing to align with His nature and let Him transform you into the person He desires for the task at hand. Every dimension and grace you want to walk into must be given to you by God. 

Master the principle of laying down your life for the glory of God and the benefit of others. This is the quality of a true leader.

Welcome to the DNA of a king!

Knowledge alone doesn’t keep you from sin—resisting temptation requires more. You can know the secret yet lack the will & discipline to apply it.

The last thing Jesus did before His crucifixion was pray—what an example of living in the Spirit! In Matthew 26:41–42, He warned Peter and the disciples to watch and pray, yet they fell asleep. Before temptation, there is always spiritual apathy. Beware of spiritual slumber!

Peter fell into temptation, not because of a lack of knowledge. He knew what was coming, yet he denied Jesus. Even in the Garden of Eden—the most perfect place, having full knowledge, Adam and Eve sinned. Victory over temptation comes from strengthening your inner man, and that happens in the place of prayer. There, you receive an impartation of Divine Life.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. The worst attack was not Job’s children dying; it came from his wife—in the form of words. Similarly, Peter’s downfall came through his confession—just as his elevation did. Judas was brought down because of his confession, while Peter was brought up by his confession. Your confessions have power in the realms of the Spirit!

Words uttered under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit are the greatest weapon you possess. Resistance to the enemy comes from the Word birthed in your spirit. It becomes a fortress against temptation. You can speak your way out of temptation & trouble. 

Fear cannot be your primary motivation for a holy life. Love for God must be your primary drive for holiness. Faith in your heart and words in your mouth are power. 

Resistance from the enemy comes from the spirit of the Word.

May the Word make way for your elevation.
