HELD to STANDUP
Christian Identity Restoration is about returning to who you truly are in Christ. It is not self-improvement. It is not behavior modification. It is not religious performance. It is learning to see yourself the way the Father sees you.
Romans 12:1–2 says:
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
The world trains us to build identity around:
- What we accomplish
- How we appear to others
- How we compare
- What we own
- How independent we can be
Without realizing it, we absorb these messages. We start believing we are what we produce.
Scripture calls that conformity.
Transformation begins when:
- We receive identity instead of manufacturing it
- We anchor ourselves in Christ instead of performance
- We let the Word reshape our thinking
- We depend on the Holy Spirit instead of willpower
In Christ, we are H.E.L.D.
H — Holy
Ephesians 1:4 — “He chose us in him… to be holy and blameless.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 — “That in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Holiness begins with what God has done, not what we have done.
You are made righteous in Christ. That is your position. Obedience grows from that place.
Declaration:
In Christ, I am made righteous. I live holy because I am holy in Him.
E — Eternal
John 17:3 — “This is eternal life: that they know you…”
Colossians 3:3 — “Your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”
Eternal life begins now. Your identity is not fragile or temporary.
- You know God personally
- Your life is secure in Christ
- Your identity is bigger than your current season
Declaration:
My life is hidden with Christ. I am anchored in eternity, not in circumstances.
L — Loved
Romans 5:5 — “God’s love has been poured out…”
1 John 3:1 — “See what great love the Father has lavished on us…”
You are adopted, not tolerated. Belonging is settled.
- You belong to the Father
- You are not earning love
- The Spirit confirms you are God’s child
Declaration:
I am loved by the Father. I do not earn His love — I live from it.
D — Destiny
Romans 8:29 — “Predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son.”
Ephesians 2:10 — “Created in Christ Jesus for good works…”
Your destiny begins with becoming like Jesus. Purpose unfolds from identity.
- Becoming like Christ
- Joining what God is already doing
- Walking in prepared good works
Declaration:
I am God’s workmanship. My purpose flows from who I am in Christ.
Seed, Water, and Fruit
1 Peter 1:23 — “Born again… of imperishable seed.”
God planted His life in you. The seed already contains the tree.
But seed needs water.
Ephesians 5:26 — “The washing of water with the word.”
The Word of God:
- Renews your mind
- Washes away lies
- Reminds you who you truly are
- Corrects what the world trained you to believe
Scripture does not create your identity. It reveals it.
John 15:5 — “Whoever abides in me… bears much fruit.”
Galatians 5:22–23 — “The fruit of the Spirit is…”
Fruit is not forced. It is produced.
Identity is not output. Fruit shows root.
From HELD to STANDUP
When you know you are HELD, courage rises naturally.
- Trust God’s Word
- Listen to His voice
- Obey by taking it to heart
Romans 10:17 — “Faith comes from hearing…”
John 8:31–32 — “The truth will set you free.”
Freedom produces stability. Stability produces courage.
STANDUP
S — Secure in Christ
Colossians 2:6–7 — “Rooted and built up in him…”
Declaration:
I am secure in Christ. I stand on Him, not on performance.
T — Transformed in Mind
Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Declaration:
My mind is being renewed. I reject lies and receive truth.
A — Anchored in Grace
Hebrews 13:9 — “Strengthened by grace.”
Declaration:
I am anchored in grace. I do not move by fear or pride.
N — New Creation
2 Corinthians 5:17 — “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.”
Declaration:
I am a new creation. My past does not define me.
D — Dependent on the Spirit
Galatians 5:25 — “Since we live by the Spirit…”
Declaration:
I rely on the Holy Spirit. His power works in me.
U — Unmoved by the World
1 Corinthians 15:58 — “Stand firm. Let nothing move you.”
Declaration:
I am not shaped by culture. I stand firm in truth.
P — Producing Fruit
John 15:8 — “That you bear much fruit…”
Declaration:
As I abide in Christ, His fruit flows through my life.
Final Encouragement
Ephesians 6:13 — “…having done all, to stand firm.”
You stand against fear.
You stand against shame.
You stand against compromise.
You stand against lies.
You fight — not for identity — but from identity.
Because you are HELD, you can STANDUP.
You are not fighting to become someone.
You are standing as someone who already belongs.
