You don’t see things as they truly are; you see things as you are, and as your identity changes, what you see changes with it. Passing through US immigration once filled me with dread, but now, as a citizen, it is easy. The setup hasn’t changed; I have. Here are four practical keys. First, ask God to show you how you see you. Many Christians try to lay a new-creation label over a settled, hidden identity, like putting a suit on someone who still feels they don’t belong. Notice your reactions and fears; like Tim Ferriss’s Starbucks challenge or Rees Howells walking hatless through London, many fears exist only inside us. Second, ask the Lord to expose the lies and rewire you. Some things simply need accepting, while painful experiences need reframing as you ask, “Lord, how do You see this?” Third, ask God to show you how He sees you, even when it sounds untrue, as when He called Gideon a mighty man of valor. Fourth, put on that person. Act as if what God says is true, and keep practising. Like learning a new guitar chord, it feels unnatural at first, but with practice new creation becomes second nature.
