Welcome back my friends to the morning mindset. I hope you are ready to get your mind

aligned with the truth of God and that really is exactly what we've been doing these last four

episodes. If you have not heard the episodes that begin on January or July

17th rather, 2020.

Please stop right now and go back and listen.

We are building a foundation of new life,

of a different way of living that the apostle Paul is revealed to us in the book of Galatians

chapter 2 verses 20 and 21. I'm convinced that these truths can truly transform your way of living because they have transformed

mine.

I am just so excited to help us walk through this and explain to you how I've come to understand it. Now let's stop

for a moment and let's think about the way that we typically live our lives. We wake up every day, we eat breakfast, we brush our teeth, we get

dressed, we go about the responsibilities that we have for the day.

And we often do that kind of on autopilot.

We just get up and we click right back into a normal routine.

And we do all of that based on an ingrained set of beliefs about who we are.

You see we think of ourselves in terms of I am a father, I am a brother, I am a husband, I am a

worker, I am a lawyer, I am a teacher, I am a you know fill in the blank, you have all your own blanks to fill in you see and

that is how we identify ourselves and it's out of that identity that we live. You see because with our identity comes certain

expectations. You see if we had the identity of the president of our country or the prime minister of the country we live in.

Our expectation of what we are to do and how we are to act and the kinds of impact we can have on people in situations is a lot different

than if we believe our identity is you know a child in a family who is not loved and abused and you see the difference that I'm trying to to describe here

the same sort of difference happens in our lives as we live as believers in Jesus Christ.
