Knowing who we are in Christ

God wants us to know who he is, so we can know who we are. What we believe affects our behavior and life experiences, and who we believe God to be determines the pouring out of life from us. Therefore, it is important that we look to scripture to build our foundation on the truth of who God is and who he says we are. First and foremost, God is love (1 John 4:16).

The Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:5) God is faithful. He has made promises to us as believers, and this will come to pass, whether it be now or in generations to come. God is holy and righteous.

My first encounter with Take the City was going to Wilson Apartments in Columbus GA. We were met by a man from that neighborhood who prayed with us before we began the outreach. We set up an area for the kids to play and others went door to door witnessing and praying for people. It truly was a humbling experience. Another time I got to pray at an abortion clinic which was another humbling experience. The worship services the night before are always dynamic and spirit led. However I will conclude with the best part for me was being an eight week participant of Take the City boot camp. All of the leaders were simply AWESOME and I learned so much during those eight weeks. I thank God for all these wonderful opportunities!
