Galatians 4:1-31
Suggested usage:
- Allow the anointing of the author’s revelation to saturate your soul as read these identity truths.
- Turn each truth into a personal identity statement by changing “You” to “I”.
- Identify which truths affect you more when you read it.
- Write one of the truths that penetrate your heart the most on your bathroom mirror so you can see it everyday and declare it about yourself using both “you” and “I” statements.
