Good morning. It is time for the morning mindset. I'm Carrie Green from

live build change.com and I am happy you're with me. It is time for you and I to get our minds right for the day

and that is a choice we get to make every day that we will determine we will take

control of our minds so that we can live a life that is

honoring to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And yes, if you have never heard the morning mindset before, this is focused around Christ.

We are Christ followers and we are seeking to follow him more diligently and with a greater sense of what following him really means for our lives. Now yesterday I was talking to you

from Colosians chapter 3 and I mentioned in that section something about our identity that when we know who we are

when we know who Christ has made us to be by virtue of our faith in him it changes everything for us and I wanted to go into

that a little more deeply because we have struggles around this issue of identity

even if you don't recognize that you have a struggle, you do.

I'm just here to tell you that because the struggle is in believing

that our identity has really changed because you see most of us lived many many years

on our own living according to our own way of thinking the way we were raised to the way that we believe the world to be.

And in many cases, there's nothing wrong with a lot of those things.

In fact, some of them are very much in accordance with the way God says things are.

But for all of us, there are ways we come to

handle the world that are not aligned with what God says is true. And yesterday

I mentioned that there is so much that happens on a spiritual realm, on a spiritual

dimension if you want to think of it that way, that we tend not to notice or think about

very much, and that's one of those ways that we don't

live according to what is true.

In this issue of identity, I think, is one of the most significant ways where we forget to live according to what is true.
