Thank you to each and every team member that has played a part over the many years to see this become “our book.” Contents 1. Swampy Ground 2. The Vision 3. Nowhere Near 4. Adam Vs Jesus 5.

Destiny & Purpose Foreword By Andrew Wommack President, Founder, and Chairman of Andrew Wommack Ministries I believe Duane Sheriff is one of the leading ministers in the body of Christ today. His simple and yet profound revelation of God’s Word is changing lives all over the world. And when combined with his humor, it’s a recipe that makes God’s Word so attractive that it’s hard to resist. He is always one of the favorite teachers at our Charis Bible College. Duane’s revelation of the believer’s true identity in Christ has to be one of the clearest presentations of these truths that I’ve ever heard. Truly, Satan has stolen the identity of the vast majority of believers. They don’t know who they are and thus they don’t know what they have and what they can do. This book will open your eyes to see yourself in Christ as never before. I was saved at a young age and have been seeking God my whole life, but it wasn’t until I saw who I was in Christ that my life really changed. In our spirits, we are already perfect, and the more we realize and understand that the more our outer lives will change as a result. The apostle Paul said in Philemon 1:6 that our faith becomes effective by acknowledging the good things that are in us in Christ Jesus. In this book, Duane takes you through many scriptures that will open your eyes to a whole new you. You will find your true identity and come to understand how a Holy God can love someone like you: It’s because you are holy too. In your spirit, you are identical to Jesus. You don’t have to wait until heaven to be changed. One-third of your salvation is complete. Your spirit is as complete and perfect as it will ever be, and it’s through that spirit that you can approach God and truly have a relationship with Him. This changes everything. I’m excited that you have chosen to read Duane’s book. It’s going to blow away mountains of unbelief and condemnation. You will rejoice like never before to know how much your Father in heaven loves you. If you will open up your heart and let the Holy Spirit enlighten you, you will never be the same. Get ready! This is a life changer! – Andrew Wommack Foreword By Jack Taylor President of Dimensions Ministries, Melbourne, Florida Duane Sheriff might well be one of God’s best -kept secrets. The Scripture declares that “For nothing is concealed except to be revealed, and nothing hidden except to come to light” (Mark 4:22, HCSB)! I am highly suspicious that because of this volume, both Sheriff and the monumental work that God has done through him already will no longer be secret. Few men that I have ever known have labored so quietly, influenced more widely, and given more freely than this man. He deserves to be heard, and through this splendid treatise on an extremely vital subject, he will be. Nothing in this wide world has so limited the Church’s influence, blunted the believer’s effectiveness, or stolen from Christianity in general more than the theft of their most necessary component: an authentic identity as to their person and purpose. Mankind on earth will never rise above the level of the perception of who we are and why we are here. There has never been a theft so large and costly as that of essential identity. We have, both corporately and individually, been victims of a massive identity theft the world over. The only strategic and lasting answer to this complex problem is the discovery of Who and What God is and how this defines our own identity as His chosen ones to rule with Him in life here and in eternity hereafter. This book identifies the burglar, the burgled, and the extent of the burglary, and it contains instructions for winning back the stolen goods that have long been held in the enemy’s camp. For those who read and heed the principles in this book, so skillfully articulated, precisely presented, and so powerfully illustrated and demonstrated, there will be the joys of experiencing the recovery of this stolen component so necessary to normal Christian living and successful Christian service in the Body of Christ. This powerful work will mean, for persons who accept and apply the principles presented here, a new and better life personally and a wider, more powerful ministry in general. Single chapters will change your life, thrill your heart, and revise your future. heart, and revise your future. I do not know of a book on this subject that is more profound, more effectively sequential, or more strikingly thorough than Identity Theft. It is an easy and pleasant read, well illustrated, softly confronting and frequently humorous. It efficiently mirrors the pleasant persona of one of the most unique communicators on the planet. From one country boy to another, I say, “You done good, Buddy, really good!” – Jack Taylor
