The scriptural truth of what God has to say about who you are and why you’re here is an essential, but neglected truth. It’s foundational for you to know beyond doubt who God says He is, what He says about you and what He planned for you as an individual. In other words, His identity, your identity and the glorious destiny He has planned for you. The following scripture describes this situation succinctly:
Hebrews 5:13 (TPT) For every spiritual infant who lives on milk is not yet pierced[a] by the revelation of righteousness[b].
[a] Or “inexperienced.” The Greek word apeiros means “unpierced.”
[b] The Aramaic can be translated “they are unversed in the language [manifestation] of righteousness.”
Hebrews 5:14 (TPT) But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.
You must be “pierced” with the “revelation of righteousness” (God says you’re righteous) in order to mature. In other words it has to get into your belief system. You may have knowledge of truth from reading the scripture or hearing teaching, but if it hasn’t pierced your heart, then there is no power to change the lies you hear and believe into truth and you will remain immature with a head full of knowledge, continuing to entertain the lies of the enemy concerning you.
If you are struggling and have harassing thoughts that don’t agree with what God says about you, ask the Holy Spirit of Truth to take you deeper and make His Word come alive on the inside of you.
God’s goal for your life is for you to look and act like Yeshua (Jesus) in this life because He lives in you to make it happen. The more Living Word you have on the inside, the faster that transformation will happen. Learning to counter every lie from the enemy with truth is what this series of courses is all about.
The natural tendency is to believe that God is not absolutely good and doesn’t care about our specific needs. The truth about Who Father God really is and who He created you to be is the reason why the Gospel is really “Good News”. If believers understand the truth of what God says in the Scripture then they will be excited to share it with others and “turn the world upside down” (Acts 17:6), like the early church did. Then evangelizing the whole world within a short period of time would be a possibility.“…The voice has been heard throughout the world, and its message has gone to the ends of the earth!” (Rom10:18)
In these courses we’ll learn more about the revelation of righteousness, what that means and how that changes our view of who God is and who He created us to be. It truly is GOOD NEWS!

testimonials
Her testimony over several months of staying in the course…
I’m asking the Lord to help me get clean and keep me right now. I feel very vulnerable and my heart is open to His heart now. I don’t ever want to go into another ditch. I’m so thankful that this is going in me deeply. I am who He says I am. Praise God.
Magazines, finding words that describe my feelings today. I’m trying to stay in the present and process some of the feelings because I normally want to take something to dull how I feel but I can’t do that anymore because it becomes a vicious cycle.
Thank you for committing your life to Him. The fruit of your choices make me excited for the work I do. Thanks for being a gold miner!
I love this thing that we are doing. I love that song that you played this morning. It was so impactful! It felt like the song opened us up for what Papa wanted to pour into us. This training is really life-changing…
I am writing to tell you that I have been struggling. Something got triggered yesterday and I don’t even know what. I am not feeling great, so I’m resting and asking God what He wants to do. I know that He’s working in me and I also know that I’m not alone in any of this because He is with me. Oh, my goodness! … He is relentless in His love for me. I am getting clean! I’m becoming whole.
Yay! Look at all the freedom happening in the lives of all those that you taught this week!
This training is powerful! It is changing me and honestly I am so incredibly thankful for what you’re doing! I want to be part of it so please know that is my hearts cry for people to experience Him! Papa is assuring me that I am in His hands and He is doing His work in me. My times are in His hands and that is most important to me. He has given me such a beautiful taste of what real love looks like and that makes me so humble. I now identify with that love, I am sure of who I am as a royal priest, I no longer identify with the judgement that I felt before because His light has given me more freedom even this morning, I identify as the daughter of the most high King, the King of Glory and I know that now. This earth is my temporary home, my place is in heaven with Him. I am ready to tell the world. I hope that I get to share this message with everyone who will listen because I do not want any more people to live without Him.
I’m so incredibly thankful for what you are doing. We are doing His great work!
Psalm 143:8 – Let the dawning day bring me revelation of your tender, unfailing love, give me light for my path and teach me, for I trust in You.
First of all I would like to say thank you for inviting me to these wonderful, life-changing classes. I see my lifestyle changing by spending time with Pappa God and processing with Him. Asking Him for help, and seeing others through His heart, His eyes. Knowing that I have Pappa God’s DNA in me is so amazing.
Knowing that we/I have been chosen by God before time began. And that HE has a plan for me and my life. I AM HIS BELOVED DAUGHTER!
I see myself as more whole every time I let Pappa God pierce my heart. And I love that He sees me all clean. I am His, that gives me value.
I see my lifestyle changes by spending time with Pappa God first and asking Him for daily bread – worshiping with Pappa. Asking Him to help me find the treasures in other people. This class has opened my heart even more to believing and TRUSTING Pappa God for anything. I learned that Pappa chose me before this world was even created. That He picked this time for me to be here on this earth. I see more and more how He wants ALL of His children to be with Him. We all have His DNA in us.
I have a choice, always have a choice in all that I get to do. God’s Love can reach anyone who is willing to say Yes to Him at any time.
I have been made righteous through Jesus. I no longer have to live in the past and operate out of that. But instead to move and have my being in Pappa God.
I get to show Pappa’s Love and share that with others who are hurting, to be His Ambassador here.
Being adopted has been the most impactful class for me. I really did not grasp what it really entailed. So thankful for that treasure that you shared with us. This class is so deep in detail. Lots to process and let pierce my heart even more. I am so thankful that you have shared all the amazing treasures with us, with me.
Yeshua is the mirror image of the Father, dazzling, radiant Light! Through the Son all things are created, every seat of power, realm of government, principality and authority. EVERYTHING is completed through Him and through Him all are restored to innocence.
Therefore, I am called and chosen as a Son, destined from the beginning to share the LIKENESS of THE Son. I have received His perfect righteousness and am co-glorified with the Son! My gifts from the Father are irrevocable! Because I believe, I am certain of the Truth of my righteousness. As I say “yes” to my call, maturity comes.
Papa promises to provide everything I need for freedom from the world’s corruption so I can walk HOLY. Even though I may be seen as foolish and subject to shame in the eyes of the world, the truth is HE CHOSE ME! I have been called out of foolishness, shame, and darkness into the Light and set apart for God! He gives me all I need, continually revitalizing me, giving me the passion to please Him.
I am continually showered with the WORD OF GOD, making me more and more pure and holy…until I too am glorious, radiant, beautiful and holy, without fault or flaw. This is the River Gate which has opened in me! Flowing in His Pure Word!
I keep my declarations and return to them often to reinforce the Truth. The concept that Pappa declares me innocent helped me a lot because bottomline for me is the accusation “It’s your fault”. Yeshua absorbed all of my sin into Himself which leaves me innocent. I don’t feel like a victim anymore. I can now begin to see others how Pappa sees them.
This is how my life has been transformed with truth I learned in the Identity course:
I now see myself as Pappa’s creation, as “made in His image”. I know He truly loves me and created me with a purpose and a destiny (which is highly important to me since I’ve been searching for purpose and destiny all my adult Christian life!). I’m finding that I’m starting to perceive and grow into a new mindset of exchanging my plans for His. Jesus was the ultimate example of doing just that…the Father’s will in everything He did. I want Pappa’s blueprint plans for me and I want to do His will and way while here on earth for the rest of my life.
Truth revealed that fear doesn’t get to own me (Huge)!! I’m noticing sometimes those feelings of fear popping up, wanting to take control of the moment and my thoughts, but I found that speaking my declarations into the atmosphere of those moments dispelled them and they fled! I’m also gaining ground with rejection as the enemy has done much damage in that area too. Great freedom comes with speaking truth out loud!
I know now that the very Son of God lives inside of me!! His image, His DNA, His Love, His very person, live inside of me!
If He has placed His very mage in me, then I believe He has done this very same thing in others, the world over! So I see that all mankind needs a rescue, just like me! All of creation needs to be rescued from not-love/self-centeredness. I see He loves us all no matter what we’ve done (not our sin). He is a merciful and just Father!
Loved the class and am ready for the next!
I have noticed that when I go out into the world I carry myself in a more covenantal way – with an awareness of who I am in Christ, I am more able to access my giftings, see in the Spirit, receive revelation, and interact with others from covenant.
The concept that impacted me most is that God had a plan for me since the beginning and it is eternally unfolding. Because of the fall I was separated from Him, and my main journey and purpose now is to return to Him fully and be who I was originally created to be, holy and righteous. I have a greater awareness of who I really am and how my negative thinking about myself is NOT who I really am, which blinded me to the Truth. I see now also more clearly that God has never seen me other than holy, unstained and righteous. Who I am gives me the Pearl of great price. He is within me – pure and untouched by the world. Christ within me ever present. Now I understand that others are made as I am, to see them as Papa sees them, who they really are. Sometimes now, when I at first look at someone in their condition, I ask Papa, who are they really? What did you create them for? And my perception of them changes.
You have such heart and anointing for this teaching. I have learned and clarified so much. I am with you all the way. Truth is what we are after and the covenant of truth is where we find it. Pappa is providing that context through the materials you have created. Not all who come will fit into that context but that does not alter its value.
Your Class is so important and True! I believe that it is intense right now because of the VALUE of what you are bringing forth. Each of us has intricate re-adjustment internally.
The most important nugget or “treasure” for me was being reminded that we are to be God’s image bearers on earth.
“I’m so excited to see what the Lord has in store for all of us as we fulfill His purposes and plans for our lives that only we can fulfill! Isn’t that AMAZING?! The fact that there is only ONE you, ONE me, and that God has preordained purposes and plans for our individual lives?! And that we can run our own races in our own lanes in the BIG RACE TOGETHER, ALONGSIDE of one another, cheering each other on… I can only imagine the indescribable, incomprehensible delight and pleasure that it brings our Father!!!”

Jenita Matteson
Over 40 years ago God spoke to me and gave me a very clear vision of what He was calling me to do. It would include a property where people could come for a time and be trained – discipled, to become mature sons and daughters knowing who they are in His sight and what His plan included for their lives.
Like Moses, I tried to make it happen in many ways and many times. Through all those efforts I learned much but couldn’t make what He spoke to me happen. I had much to learn and much to lay down, yielding to His will and His way. He will wait for our hearts to be in a place of surrender that allows Him to take action.
