Could it be the symptoms you are manifesting are revealing that you are going through a personal identity crisis? If so, this can be a really good thing if you are open. For God is at work to restore what it means to really know who you are.

For most of us, our battles reveal an identity issue. When we do not know who we really are and struggle to live confidently from that place, all kinds of emotional struggles can take place.

Many times, the emotions or unwanted behaviors that are popping up in our lives are actually a signal that we need to revisit our foundation. We need to get back to understanding who we really are.

The term, “Identity crisis” was coined by psychologists who believed that living from your true identity is critically important to your life. Of course, the importance of identity security is nothing new, as the New Testament has been calling us to know who we are in Christ for centuries.

Everything God does in our life flows through the identity that He gave us. Yet for most, identity is not a secure issue. Most were not equipped in knowing who they really are.

As believers, we have been given a new identity. We call it “an identity in Christ.” The “in Christ” means that Jesus paid a price through His death and resurrection that give us the opportunity to join Him in connection to the Father. We become born again and through that experience, we are given a brand new identity.

But for too many, they are not experiencing the “in Christ” part. They are actually living “in crisis.”

So if you recognize the call to get solid in who you are, take heart. Because learning who you are is an incredible adventure, if you will allow.

Identity in Christ is actually so simple, but it can be so easy to skip right past it without ever experiencing it.

Living from that new identity is everything when it comes to emotional health.

When you struggle to know who you are and live out of that authentically, all sorts of problems will manifest in the long term.

For most of us, our trials and struggles reveal the need to revisit the subject of identity, asking, “Who am I really?”

An identity crisis occurs when the truth arises that you don’t know who you really are and you don’t really live out of that. The reality is that a large percentage of the body of Christ are not powerfully connected to who they are in their identity.

We live in a world where identity issues are a chronic problem. Many are manifesting symptoms that they are actually going through an identity “crisis.”

Here are some signs you are going through an identity crisis.
