In 2016 as the Lord began to call me into the fivefold, the Lord began to show me the Ahab Spirit operating in my life. This spirit was stealing my identity literally. I struggled because everything that had my name on it was attacked in the natural. I had no clue why until my husband and I refinanced our home, and we found out that someone in Pennsylvania has been using my identity for years. You heard me for years. They were buying housing, car, cell phones, and everything. I had to get the police involved, and we found that the person was male. He tried to buy land but didn’t have enough of my personal information. Once all of this came to light, my husband was like, all this time, I thought you were buying or having credit cards behind my back, but really, it was someone else. He said I couldn’t understand why your credit struggled when I never saw you have anything. Well, it was like the weight of not being worth in my finances was lifted, but not without a fight; the devil was not going to give up that easy. We had to get several law enforcement agencies involved. This chapter reminds me of that fight and that this was an issue in my spiritual life because it wasn’t until my natural identity was found outdid the Lord start dealing with me concerning who I indeed was. It was like I was hidden.
The enemy took advantage of me being hidden by connecting me to people who steal identities and shame those around them because they don’t have what they have. But even in that I still had hope because of the word that the Lord would feed me every so often and of course, my daily read of the word of God. Me finding my true identity was a significant battle I had to learn I am not things, but I am who God said I am. I had to take on my Christ identity to gain freedom and my true essence of who the Lord said I was, not what man was trying to create me to be.
