We have been given the mind of Chris , So what this means we are to think like him. Speak like him have his love and compassion like him and the list can go on .
so if we have the mind of Christ why don't we act like we have the mind of Christ?
So what is keep us from accessing the true mind of Christ .... it is simply FEAR
Why does fear have so much power over us? Because we give fear power
Fear takes away your creativity and makes you stop fighting. When we believe that God wants us to do something and we can't do it we turn away from God. That is separation. When we retreat we go back into the mode where fear leads. Many people get stuck in that fear loop and you can't get out.
What am I believing that is producing fear in me that is not true?
Identity is emotional stemming from a spiritual problem
o Emotional process theory: everyone in the planet has one thing in common fear
§ Fear exist in the memory and associates belief about fear i.e. things from past, childhood
§ Your words have power; your behavior can come into adulthood § Fear structure, starts in foundation and builds up like a house

Your identity is unique to you and your identity is deep within you and you don't get your identity from people or a group that you may associate with.
Jesus never got his identity from external sources. He did not rely on what people thought about him, his career or anything else.
Your true identity is the essence of who you are at your core

Because the voice of God requires faith and the voice of the enemy never requires faith
