You Are Bar Elyon

The Missing Years I
Many names in the Bible contain the word "Bar," meaning "son of". Simon Bar-Jonah, Bartholomew and Barabbas which means "son of the father." The word Bar-mitzvah, means "son of the commandments." Messiah is called Bar-Elyon, which means, "Son of the Most High." We're to be little versions of Him, a little child of the Most High. What does that mean? Your identity isn't based on yourself any more. It doesn't come from you, your life, or your past. It comes from your Father in heaven. You are no longer Bar-bitterness- -a child of bitterness, Bar-failure- -a child of failure, Bar-sin- -a child of sin, or Bar-hurt- -a child of rejection, hurt and wounds. All those things are not you anymore. You are Bar-Elyon, a child of the Most High. That's your identity, you are born from above. Your identity comes from Elyon, the Most High. That's who you are, a beloved, holy child of the Most High. Start believing it. Start receiving it. Start living like it and acting like it. Because you, too, are a little version of Bar-Elyon, a child of the Most High.

Today's Mission
Throughout the day today, encourage yourself that your identity is as a child of the most high God...you are Bar-Elyon!

Romans 8:16
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are going to get what’s coming to us—an unbelievable inheritance! We go through exactly what Christ goes through. If we go through the hard times with him, then we’re certainly going to go through the good times with him!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY AND WEEKEND.
