Thank you for listening to this message from Damon Thompson Ministries.

Anything that you and I have endeavored to accomplish outside of the posture of appropriate identification

actually becomes a violation of heaven's divine intention.

Let me explain, oftentimes when we try to produce something in order that achievement might bring a sense of worth and validation.

However, when the Father in baptism brings the inheritance of identity to Jesus, it is not because he has earned identity in function.

Whenever your accomplishment becomes the resource whereby you derive your identity,

you will always be vulnerable to the imposter's voice in the days when the Father invites us to be rather than produce.

You'll never have the degree of confidence and security. Father intends for you to walk in concerning who you really are until hear me,

until you say yes to the lifestyle of proximity.

For in the nearness of this devotional encounter, he comes after the charade.

He draws you near enough to the flame of his own heart concerning you.

And there are there and only there, the flame melts the wax you and I have used to construct

artificial manhood.

Right there in the all satisfying place of you in his lap, the place where all temptation to placate is

consumed by the revelation that he and only he knows who I really am only

the architect can really fully understand the intricacies of his own design your

adversary will give you any illusion of success if in that

illusion he keeps you from becoming the real you his calling us into

proximal devotion is permission granted for us to allow all misconceptions concerning

who we are really concerning who we are to be illuminated in order that he might

calls us by grace to grow still enough, to grow quiet enough to hear the whisper of

identifications.
