March 18th AfterHours Reflection (Seizing Your Divine Moment – Battling for Your Identity)

Last night we continued our study of divine moments by looking at what we’ll need to go into battle against the enemy. Randy started by using an illustration from Braveheart, as a segue to the point that we should be picking fights with the enemy by living the life God calls us to live and taking advantage of ever opportunity (divine moments). Referencing John 10:10, he talked about the fact that our enemy often cripples us for battle by stealing the identity we have in Christ. We spent the rest of our time together remembering all the promises and affirmation God gives us about who we are in Christ. Here’s the list:
