devotional. Hey, welcome to the podcast. My name is Mike. And we have been talking about some lies that can

hack into our soul and steal or identity. And the one that we've

been talking about in recent days is this one. I am what I have done. There's nothing quite like

the past to mess with the truth about who you are. Let me tell you about my buddy Ray. You know,

tough guy. A lot of struggles with alcohol drugs spent

some prison time i got the privilege of baptizing him several years ago and uh he met with me one uh one

wednesday night after a worship service he said hey man can i talk to you for a second i said sure

he goes uh man i just need to tell you I had a relapse so

oh man I'm sorry to hear that he goes yeah this girl broke up with me and I didn't know what to

do man just went back to that old bar used to go to all the time and I got wasted and the next day

I'm sitting on the edge of my bed I I'm thinking to myself, come on, Ray,

that's not who you are anymore.

And I told him, man, listen, I love how God reminded you of that truth of who you are now.

Because I'm telling you, knowing that will be so key in your recovery.

You see, the deal is this, you've been walking a certain way for a whole lot of years.

I mean, you've had the same habits, the same thought patterns, the same way of reacting the problems for so many years.

You've had the same go-to move, the same fallback plan.
