In Romans chapter 8 we are told when we surrender our lives to Christ we receive the Spirit of sonship, adopted into royalty - co-heirs with Christ, sons and daughters of the Most High God, the Great I AM, Creator of all. Have you ever stopped to really grasp what that means? For me it's hard to wrap my head around. We are now sons and daughters of the perfect King, WORTHY to receive His perfect love, perfect attention, perfect discipline, perfect timing, and has given us full access to His Kingdom for us to bring Him glory. Wow!
The enemy wants nothing less than to steal that identity. If he can steal our identity, he renders our authority over him powerless - the very authority Jesus suffered, died and rose again to give us! Our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities in the spiritual realm. As Joyce Meyer explained so well in her book, it's the battlefield of the mind!
When we feel enslaved by fear, worry, addiction, depression, etc - whose definition of our identity are we believing?
Stand Up Royal Prince and Princesses! Hold every thought captive and test it against the Truth, the Word. If it doesn't line up, bind it, cast it out, and replace it with the truth. In Christ you are called Son/Daughter, Royal Priest of the Most High God who loves you and knows the plans He has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans for hope and a future. (Jer 29:11)
Believe you are who He says you are!

Rich Sanders
Rich is a hiring manager for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. working from the Regional office in Irving, Texas. He has served the company in a variety of capacities, most recently as Zone manager for the Automobile Division. As a hiring manager Rich has seen hundreds of resumes and conducted hundreds of interviews throughout the country. He has seen qualified candidates miss the cut simply because they didn’t have a good resume or didn’t have the interviewing skills necessary to reach the next level in the hiring process. Rich is a trained behavioral interviewer and loves to be involved in people’s lives where he can make a difference, especially in career development. He holds the belief that the career path of any individual be pursued from a Biblical perspective, by combining an individual’s God-given talents with their learned strengths and skills. Rich has written scores of resumes and has provided interviewing coaching in a variety of settings. His “ministry” is helping others, not just in a job search, but maximizing opportunities as they arise for long-term, career growth and development.

With an expertise in handling people and business, the next logical move was to start her own ventures: Prestige Design--a graphic design and printing firm; and Creative Surfaces, a construction company specializing in concrete stain application. Sarah’s experience and aptitude for design, customer service, marketing, and PR, served her well and led her to the next level, a call to ministry.
