WINNING IN TROUBLED TIMES PART 3

Main message: Trusting and depending on God doesn't mean denying shortage or trouble; rather, faith refuses to let lack define God's faithfulness, your identity, or your future. Cultivate humility and daily dependence on God's grace by remembering your finished identity in Christ.

Key points:

• Remind yourself daily of your true identity in Christ (righteous, forgiven, redeemed, complete, sanctified) and live from that finished reality.
• Live in total dependence on God; grace is especially for those who humbly depend on Him, so pray and lean on Him for daily needs and decisions.
• Faith does not deny the reality of shortage, lack, or trouble, but it refuses to let those things define God.
• Refuse to let shortage/trouble define three things: (1) God’s faithfulness, (2) your identity, and (3) your future.
• Renew your mind by remembering what is already true about you (the “finished works”), not by dwelling in sin-consciousness or past failures.

Scriptures mentioned: Philippians 4:13, Psalm 91:11-12
