Prologue
––––––––
We live in a time in history where evil is called good and good is called evil. We are bombarded daily by influences orchestrated by darkness to mislead and confuse us, to distance us from the Word of God, which is there, that our true identity originates.
Those who do not find their identity in Christ are victims of darkness, because only our Creator knows our purpose in this world.
In this book, Identity, Michel Tejada brings us an in-depth study of the tricks the devil uses to confuse us, as well as reflections and practical exercises to repair that fragmented identity by seeing ourselves through the eyes of our Creator.

Preface
––––––––
We will not hide it from our children. With future generations we will praise the Lord and tell of his power and wonders. Psalm 78:4.
Each new generation must rediscover its identity in God for itself, yet God also adds that the previous generation is responsible for passing on what they have learned, and thus they would put their trust in God. (Psalm 78:7 NIV) So each generation has been able to obey his laws and put their hope in God again and not forget his glorious miracles.
Dedication
––––––––
I dedicate this book, first and foremost, to my Heavenly Father, the source of all truth and life. To Jesus Christ, my Lord, in whom I was found, redeemed, and revealed. And to the precious Holy Spirit, who prompted me, taught me, and revealed to me my true identity as a beloved daughter of the Almighty. This book is the fruit of His voice, His constant guidance, and His transforming presence.
I also dedicate it with love to my husband, Reyes Aquino, to my sons, Shaddai, Jan, Noah, and to my beloved daughter Sara, who represent the new generation that will rise with divine understanding, filled with the wisdom that descends from on high, the truth that liberates, and the knowledge that reveals the eternal mystery of God: Christ in you, the hope of glory.
For Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. And the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth proceed knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:1-4.
To this generation that dares to look beyond the visible, that yearns to know its origin, its purpose, and its eternal heritage: may this book be a beacon that guides them back to the heart of the Father.
Introduction

Knowing our identity as children gives us access to claim the inheritance our Father, Jesus Christ, gave us. From the moment he adopted us as children to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, we understand our Creator's eternal designs for our lives. The purpose of this book is to open the understanding of children to come to know our true identity.
And since we are his children, we also have a share in the inheritance God has promised us, which we will share with Christ, since we suffered with him in order to also be with him in his glory. Romans 8:17 English Standard Version.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was tormented for our iniquities; the punishment he endured brought us peace, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 English Standard Version.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
The Tree of Life is Jesus Christ, who is the light of eternal knowledge, the first light, which illuminates the spirit's understanding to know God and his unfathomable mysteries. It is the very life of the Spirit that vivifies the entire spiritual being, soul and body, to fill it with the same eternal essence.
The trees of the valley are full of sap—even the cedars of Lebanon, that He has planted. Psalm 104:16.
So, we can be trees of life, rich in fruit every day and every season if we allow the life-giving water of the Holy Spirit to continue flowing through us and satisfying us. One thing I love about the Lord is that He always redirects us in all our paths.
The word records in Proverbs: Wisdom begins with honoring the Lord; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 English Standard Version God speaks today.
The biblical meaning of the word honor
comes from the Hebrew word kabôd,
which means glory.
Honoring God and one's parents, for example, implies praising and esteeming them through obedience, respect, admiration, and retribution. When we speak of honor, we are speaking of respect, esteem, glory, and admiration for whom honor is deserved. It is knowing how to recognize that it is not only obedience, but also living a life of constant humiliation.
A greater example is King David. Then David prayed this prayer of praise to the LORD in front of all his people: Blessed are you forever, LORD, God of Israel, and our Father! LORD, greatness and power, glory, splendor and honor belong to you. For all things in heaven and on earth belong to you. You, LORD, are sovereign, and yours is the kingdom. Wealth and honor come from you; you rule over all things. Power and might are in your hands. You also have the power to decide whom to make great and powerful. Our God, we now give you thanks and praise your holy name.
1 Chronicles 29:10-13
Therefore, turn to God and be converted, so that he may wipe out your sins Acts 3:19.
These are the times of restoration of floods, the things within those things that God is restoring. It is the year of redemption, of restoration. The word restore means to return to the original point as God created it. God is restoring many truths in the word that were lost over time, so many truths were lost with use, bringing them back as he did, as he had in mind from the beginning. So that there may be a restoration of honor.
Chapter 1
A heart with a cross and a ribbon Description automatically generatedIn the spiritual world, honor is a culture
In the spiritual world, honor is not simply a value... it's a divine culture, an all-encompassing atmosphere. It is the language of the Kingdom, the invisible code that upholds authority, favor, and the manifestation of God's glory.
Honor operates naturally in the dimension of the Spirit, because there is no room for pride, competition, or familiarity. Everything that exists in the Kingdom recognizes and responds to the divine order, to the weight of presence, to the eternal purpose that God has placed in every being, in every assignment, and in every authority He establishes. May the Lord grant us the grace to live with that same Spirit of honor in all dimensions of our lives! May every step, every word, every relationship be imbued with that fragrance of heaven. May we honor God in secret and in public, our parents, leaders, spouses, siblings, children, bosses, mentors, and even strangers, because where there is honor, heaven spontaneously opens in your favor. If you want to see an atmosphere of honor, begin to honor everyone around you.
So,
