Summary

Your life should follow the identity you have from God—not your circumstances. Gideon knew about God, but he let problems define Him. When Gideon complained, God didn’t argue with his odds or explain the Midianites; God spoke to his identity: “Go in the strength you have.” (Judges 6) That’s the shift—stop asking your situation who you are. Let God name you, then let life follow. In this message, Eric Thomas helps you move from survival to assignment: - Word → Identity → Habits → Results (stop running the loop backwards). - Identity over insecurity: Royal, chosen, equipped (1 Peter 2:9)—before the results show up. - Power over effort: No battery, no movement. - Kingdom motive: Not “bless me” religion—“so there may be meat in My house” - You’re the answer: God isn’t sending a rescuer for your house—He’s sending you. Scriptures: Judges 6, 1 Peter 2:9, Malachi 3, Hebrews 11, Psalm 23, Romans 8. 1) Download the APOC App Messages, prayer calls, groups, giving, events—all in one place.
