Topic: Identity Thief! Digiphrenia - Virtual Identities! 1. You are created in the image of God on purpose
[Gen 1.27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that [h]moves on the earth.] You live in a body, you have a soul (mind, will and emotions) and you are a Spirit being You are a Spirit being, therefore can now partake of the divine nature of God by becoming one in Spirit with God, through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God in you: [1 Cor 6.17 But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him source of life and identity comes from the living God. If you allow media, digital applications and entertainment to define your identity, you will be swept displaced from your life in God and purpose of existence.
What is Digiphrenia? Virtual Identities
Media theorist Douglas Rushkoff https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/ coined the term "digiphrenia" to describe the confused mental state that comes with having too many identities running in parallel. Marketers would do well to remember the sometimes dramatic differences between consumers' online personae and opinions and their real-life actions and purchase decisions. While mention of Second Life might feel like something from a bygone age, the profound difference between consumers' real and virtual selves remains - even if they have replaced their avatar with a perfectly posed Facebook profile picture.
[Psalm 100.3 Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.]
God kind versus selfkind
Does it matter, does your “kind” really matter? 2. Your are an original design, unique
Psalm 139 .14 For You formed my inward parts,
You [f]covered me in my mother’s womb.
14I will praise You, for [g]I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
15My [h]frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
3. Renew your Mind to God’s will
[Rom 12.2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.]
You must find yourself in God, so that you don’t lose yourself in this extremely lost, corrupt world that this generation has to live in. To be divinely regenerated to your original design you need to go back to your eternal (Godly) heritage and find out, who designed you (God), and why were you (Humankind) created. Then, you are able to get on track on your journey God calls your abundant life, which started when you were born-again here on earth and is continued supernaturally as you transform into your eternal body when you meet Jesus in the clouds.
4. You are adopted into God’s family
[John 1. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the [e]right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.] [1 John 3.1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.]
5. You have an eternal heritage part of a Royal Kingdom
[1 Peter 2.9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul, 12having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation.]
6. God has prepared great plans for you His family
[Jeremiah 29.11 11For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.]
