Intro: From the HEAD to the HEART

Proverbs 23:7 AMP

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].

It is possible to know something in your head that you don’t believe in your heart.

Revelation must make it’s way from the cranium to the chest cavity

When what you know, becomes what you believe, the byproduct is HABIT!!

People don’t want to just hear about Jesus, they want to see him presently providing for them

The Bible must be more than a manuscript, it must be manifestation

John 1:14 NKJV

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

So identity is formed principles, patterns, and productivity

You won’t have inconsistencies between what God SAID and what you SEE, when you follow the principles

Principles produce patterns.

Patterns form provable productivity

My emotions can’t determine my identity...

Because He loves me in GOOD and BAD times

Daniel’s Decision

When I know who I am, bribes won’t make me bow!!

Daniel vs Neb

What do you do when your favor produces a furnace

v.2 - King Darius set order in the kingdom

If you ever want to see the places in someone

Daniel 6:4 NASB95

Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

What do you do, when favor makes them furious?!

YOU FOCUS on the FOUNDATION

v.6-9 - If God gives you promotion before you know who you are, flattery will make you fluctuate in your decisions

v.10 - When the devil tried to intimidate Daniel he depended on IDENTITY

It’s time for TWINS

PRAYER AND PRAISE

v.16 - YOUR (IDENTITY) GOD
