God uniquely designed your identity before your birth, and this identity is intricately woven into your purpose. It's no surprise that the world is struggling with identity confusion. Our identity in Christ is under assault in an attempt to derail our divine destiny. In the message "Why The Enemy Attacks Your Identity," Brother Duane explores the significance of how an identity crisis can hinder our ability to fulfill our destiny. He contrasts this new identity with the fallen identity found in Adam and the radical transformation that occurs when we embrace our new identity in Christ.

Prayer is not a religious duty but an intimate dialogue with a loving God. Brother Duane teaches the foundational importance of communion with God in the Christian life, focusing on prayer, fellowship, and an intimate relationship with the Lord.In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the vine and believers as the branches. This imagery beautifully illustrates our connection with Christ. Through prayer, believers cultivate a personal relationship with God, allowing His presence to fill their lives and effortlessly produce spiritual fruit.

God loves us so much that He is changing us into His image. In part eight of "Unconditional Love," Brother Duane teaches the transformative power of beholding God's glory by exploring eight ways God changes us to be more Christlike. Like metamorphosis, this process of change happens from the inside out. Holiness is not achieved through our efforts but by focusing on Christ and His finished work. 2 Corinthians 3:18 reveals that we are gradually transformed into His image as we look upon God's glory. It's not about striving or willpower but allowing God to change us from within.

In part two of "Fatherhood," Duane Sheriff explores the metaphor of fathers as spiritual "blacksmiths" who play a vital role in shaping their children's lives and faith. He emphasizes the importance of godly masculinity, consistent discipline, and clear boundaries, which should be guided by the Holy Spirit. Discipline should be controlled by the Holy Spirit, not as punishment, but as a loving act to prepare children for the realities of life and accountability to God. True fatherhood isn't about domination but about forging, shaping, and tempering our children for spiritual warfare and success in life. Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.app.neoncrm.com/forms/fathers

Are you aware that you are in a war? Fathers and blacksmiths forge warriors. In today's culture, there is an assault against men and their role as fathers. In the message "Fatherhood," Duane Sheriff draws unique parallels between a blacksmith and a father who prepares his home for spiritual warfare. In 1 Samuel 13:19-22, the Philistines removed Israelite blacksmiths before the battle. Israel needed their blacksmiths to make swords and other weapons to fight in the war. Likewise, fathers are the blacksmiths in their homes. Men forge, shape, and temper their children to prepare them for life's battles, protecting them from the world's negative influences. Fathers equip children with the moral clarity, character, and strong work ethic necessary for success. This world seeks to remove or feminize the blacksmith, thereby weakening our families. Fathers must reclaim their role, not suppress their masculinity. Under God's guidance, fathers have a crucial role in ensuring their children are ready to face challenges and not become susceptible to the deceptions and hardships of the world. Fathers, be the spiritual leaders and warriors God created you to be. Embrace your divine purpose, knowing your influence shapes the next generation. Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.app.neoncrm.com/forms/fathers

In the seventh and final episode of "Who Am I?", Duane Sheriff teaches that Satan's primary strategy to derail our God-given purpose and destiny is to assault our identity, just as he did with Jesus. Jesus faced attacks on His identity both at the beginning and the end of His ministry. In Matthew 4, Satan repeatedly tempts Jesus with the phrase, "If you are the Son of God..." This reveals an important truth: our opponent knows that if he can confuse our identity, he can disrupt our future.Jesus countered these attacks with Scripture. The parallels drawn between Jesus' temptations and our own struggles encourage us to stand firm in who God says we are, even in the face of doubt or opposition. Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/who-am-i/
