Day 15: I Am Who God Says I Am

Day 15: I Am Who God Says I Am

Scripture:

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)

The Promise:

God declares you brand new in Christ—your identity is no longer defined by your past but by His Word.

Devotional:

You are not what life labeled you. You are not what failure called you. You are not even what others think about you. You are who God says you are. And the only way to live in that truth is to speak it—out loud, repeatedly, and with authority.

2 Corinthians 5:17 doesn’t say you will become new someday. It says you are a new creation now. But your experience of that truth will depend on whether your words echo God’s Word or your old story. You cannot walk in newness while rehearsing brokenness. You must break agreement with what the old you believed and start speaking what the new you is called to live.

Every declaration you make shapes your identity. If you say, “I’m always messing up,” you’re reinforcing the old you. But if you say, “I am chosen, forgiven, and full of God’s power,” you’re activating your new creation nature. The words you speak today determine the person you’ll become tomorrow.

You have the authority to override every lie spoken over you—by others or by yourself. Don’t keep feeding the false identity. Starve it. Silence it. Replace it. God’s Word is your identity document. Speak it like a legal declaration.

Declaration Prayer:

Father, I change the way I think and speak about myself. I reject every false identity, every label of shame, and every word that contradicts who You say I am. I declare that I am a new creation in Christ—redeemed, righteous, and full of purpose. I no longer rehearse the past. I speak the future. I am who You say I am. My old story has no authority—Your Word defines my life. I walk, talk, and live as a child of the Most High. In Jesus’ name, amen!
