Complete In Him
We live in a world searching everywhere for the answer to one of life’s most important questions: Who am I? We look to feelings, relationships, careers, culture, and the opinions of others to define us. But Scripture declares that we are complete in Him. In this message, Pastor DaVon reveals why you don’t have to look outside of Christ to discover who you are. If you’ve ever struggled with identity, purpose, or where you fit, this message will help you see yourself through a different lens. Listen and discover what it really means to be complete in Him.

Notes
Acts 19:13-16
Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Do you know who you are?
Does the spiritual world know who you are?
If you don’t know who you are, life will beat you up.
We live in a culture where people are trying to experiment with who they are.
The culture we live in says you are whatever you feel you are.
People are looking to feelings, experiences, relationships, careers, sexuality, politics, social media, and other people’s opinions to answer one of life’s most fundamental questions: Who am I?
Society says, “Find yourself.”
Scripture says, “Find yourself in Christ.”
Who does God say you are?
New Creation:
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Overcomer:
1 John 5:4 AMP - For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].
Colossians 2:8-10
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

You do not lack, no deficiency, no inadequacy, no loss
Your emotional stability should not be rooted in the wavering of people
Colossians 2:10 AMPC
And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].
If I am complete in Him, then I don’t have to look outside of Him to discover who I am.
2 Peter 1:3 TPT
Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.
Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
