All throughout Scripture, when God called someone into a new destiny, He gave them a new name. A name wasn’t merely a label — it was an identity, a calling, a destiny spoken into being by the mouth of God Himself. When the Almighty changes a name, He is not describing who you were — He is declaring who you are in Him.

From the dawn of creation, God’s desire has always been the same — to dwell with His people. In Eden, He walked with Adam in the cool of the day. In the wilderness, He filled the Tabernacle with His glory. In Jerusalem, His presence descended upon Solomon’s Temple with such weight that the priests could not stand to minister. Throughout Scripture, the heart of God beats with a single longing: to be with His people and to dwell among them.

Every believer carries a divine assignment — an identity rooted not in earthly citizenship, but in heavenly representation. When you came to faith in Yeshua (Jesus), you were not only redeemed and restored; you were commissioned. Heaven did not merely save you from something — it saved you for something. Paul declares, “Now then, we are ambassadors for Messiah, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Messiah’s behalf, be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Every transformation begins in the mind. What you believe about God — and about yourself in Him — shapes how you walk, how you respond, how you live. You can be redeemed in spirit and yet still live bound if your mind remains shackled to earthly thinking. This is why Scripture commands us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2). True identity takes root when your thoughts come into alignment with what heaven already declares about you.

When you were united with Yeshua (Jesus), something supernatural happened — something far beyond what your eyes can see. You were not only forgiven and restored; you were enthroned. The Word declares that God “raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:6). This is not a future promise — it is a present reality. Heaven sees you not as struggling to reach victory, but as already seated in victory, reigning with Christ in the eternal now.

From the very beginning, humanity has been trying to cover its own shame. In the Garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve sinned, their first instinct was to hide and to sew fig leaves together — a desperate attempt to conceal the awareness of their nakedness. Sin exposed what was lost, and shame became humanity’s garment. But even in that moment of failure, God revealed His mercy. He clothed them Himself, covering their shame with the skin of a sacrifice — a prophetic foreshadowing of the redemption to come, when the blood of the Lamb would one day cover the nakedness of mankind.
Don’t stop now – more truth and grace await.
Every heart longs to know where it truly belongs. Deep within every human soul is the question of identity — Who am I? Where do I come from? It’s why, when someone is adopted in the natural, they often spend years searching for their biological parents. There’s an ache to know their true origin, a longing to connect the story of their beginning with their present. And until that longing is resolved, there is often a sense of incompleteness, a struggle to move forward — because to understand where we are going, we must first know where we came from.
