The devil desires to kill us, destroy us at every level of our lives and we can see this throughout all the scripture, he is a deceiver of the truth, laying in wait to devour our testimony along the road of life.
In this posting as to the rise of identity theft we must understand the attack is not physical, it is spiritual, it manifests itself physically however it is a spiritual battle through and through. Let's look at some scripture as to what a NAME really means;
Proverbs 22:1
A Good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.
Genesis 17:5
"No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham: for I have made you a father of many nations.
Genesis 17:15
Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.
In these few verses we can see the power of your name, your name is your heritage it is your destiny, your legacy is remembered by your name. God always moved on His name, and the name of His son, Jesus Christ. The name of the Lord brings power, brings grace, mercy and forgiveness. The name of Jesus is longlasting, enduring and brings forth salvation. The physical aspect of Jesus (flesh) has passed away however the spiritual aspect of Jesus (His name) lasts forever and ever and ever.
The rise of identity theft is a spiritual attack on your name, your legacy, your destiny. In looking throughout the scripture the devil always attempted to change the name of an individual, attempting to change the destiny or legacy of the surname forever and ever, scripture;
Daniel 1: 7
To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Hannaniah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.
In studying history these names belonged to pagan gods, not the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob which as we know is above all names. The devil was attempting to change their destiny's their legacy.
There is an amazing attack on identity, an attack that is destroying the names of many families. We all must protect our names not only against identity theft but against ALL attacks. We must protect our credibility by discerning the times we are in. Please pray over all your financial decisions, along with all your business dealings. The devil is out to destroy your good name and we must do whatever we can to protect our names.
