Victory over Darkness In this book “Victory over Darkness.” I learned the only way to have victory over darkness is to know who you really are in Jesus Christ. You must grasp the knowledge of who the Lord is. Also you have to notice the power you have in your identification in Jesus. Therefore, most importantly you must view yourself for who you truly are. In the beginning of this chapter it talks about “Who Are You.” Neil T. Anderson wants us to know our full identity in Christ as a child of God. Our meaning is to comprehend who we are. Anderson tells us that, “we really love to distinguish ourselves and other people on what the exterior side of what we look like; or what we pursue. In the “False Equations in the search for Identity” section it claims that the front we put on is incorrect and is made to falsely tell us who we really seem to be, and we tend to hide our emotions. If these false equations were able to verify to all people, why not king Solomon. Solomon had full authority, a lot of money, items, and more “Bad Biddies” than you can count. All this rounded up to make Solomon think that this is who he was; (a all powerful person). So this tells me to not let the things I have deceive me.

    “Identit[ies] cannot be found or fabricated, but they emerge from within when someone has the courage to let go” (Cooper). A person’s identity is unique to themselves, and it defines who or what a person is, and the qualities that make them who they are. Identities are shaped by an individual’s personal experiences, outside sources, their upbringing, and by role models. In The Other Wes Moore, two boys living across the street from each other have very different outcomes in life.…
