Robby Dawkins book Identity Thief is engaging, encouraging and edifying for those who want to be strong and effective in the Lords service. I encourage its reading and putting into practice its teachings. It challenges us to believe who we really are and to act accordingly.
Dr. Randy Clark, founder, Apostolic Network of Global Awakening
Robby has hit the nail on the head with this book! The plans God has for our lives are worth fighting for. And fighting is what we need to be prepared to do. To know your enemy is a plan for every mighty warrior. I encourage every believer to get familiar with this book and put its truth into practice. Now is the time to rise up to our true identity in Christ.
Major Danielle Strickland, The Salvation Army
Identity Thief is an honest, vulnerable, open, faith-filled, big-hearted and encouraging book. In other words, exactly like its author. I commend both the book and its author to you.
Mike Pilavachi, Soul Survivor
Robby Dawkins Identity Thief is honest, real and thought-provoking. Being Christian often means giving up on winning popularity contests. Could it be that our false sense of humility and the lies of the enemy have left us unbranded, without distinction and ultimately without any form of identity? Robbys honest tell-all of finding his identity shows how God will replace the death caused by religion with the life Christ invokes. This book is both a testimony and a celebration of knowing who we are in Christ, resting in our purpose and relentlessly pursuing Gods unique call on our lives.
Leon Schoeman, network and content director, TBN UK and TBN Europe
Following Jesus was never meant to be boring! In this book we capture afresh the impact of the love, grace and power of Jesus, and the way in which it produces transformed lives.
Mark Bailey, national leader, New Wine England
Robby Dawkins is a gift to the Church and a danger to the devil. Each time I hear him speak or read his words, I come away challenged to be more relentless in love and courageous in power. His book Identity Thief clearly communicates the fact that both power and love are not things we do, but who we are, because it is who our Father is. After reading Identity Thief , not only will you know Robby Dawkins better, but you will know who the Father created you to be, a gift to the world and a danger to darkness.
Bob Hazlett, author, Think Like Heaven : Change Your Thinking , Change Your World
I dedicate this book to my six sons, Judah, Micah, Isaiah, Elijah, Canah and Caspian. I wrote this book for you and have allowed the world to listen in on our conversation. You are six young lions into whom your mother and I have poured everything we have and are. We know your identities are formed to turn the world upside down for our great King. As you wage war against the Identity Thief, may you know your father and mother are in the stands, cheering you six champions on to amazing victory. We love you and salute you. For the Kingdom!

Foreword
I first met Robby Dawkins this year when I interviewed him for my television show, It s Supernatural ! He impressed me because his passion was not Look at how God uses me, but instead Everything I can do, you can do, too. And I want to mentor you to go farther than I have.
Even if you have never moved in supernatural gifting and healing, spend a week with Robby in the streets and you will prophesy, pray for and see the sick healed and lead people to Jesus. How refreshing! In other words, you will be normalnormal as defined by the Bible.
Most believers have never understood and walked in their true identity. As a result, they have never walked into their full destiny. But if not now, when? God has a specific job and destiny for your life. No one can do it as well as you. God does not make junk. You are His workmanship. But the Identity Thief has tampered with your true identity.
This book will give you the course correction to embrace your true destiny. It is not too late. It is time to get out of the boat and walk on water. Why stay in the boat? It is time to be normal and to be naturally supernatural.
Sid Roth, host, Its Supernatural!

Dont Listen to the Liar
He [Satan] was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44
My parents had been serving as missionaries in Japan for a little over a year when my mother became pregnant with me.
About a week after she found out she was pregnant, she was doing laundry in the back room of their house when Satan appeared in the corner. He told her he was Satan, and she believed him because he had appeared out of thin air. He looked like a normal man, but my mother says she could feel the evil and dread that seemed to pour out of him.
As you would expect, she was paralyzed by fear. She described the moment to me years later, saying that a waterfall of fear poured over her.
