“The next step is to foster a continual posture of attention throughout our lives, which for our purposes we will call awareness…to become more and more open to the movement of Jesus’s Spirit in and around us as we move through our day-to-day interactions and experiences.” Living Fearless Guided Journal (p. 11)
Awareness is about the transformative process of moving from operating in the “real” self to operating in the “true self” and thus no longer falling prey to a “false” self. “What is real to me isn’t always true, but what is true is always real (p. 67). “God only speaks to you in your true identity” (p. 71). Becoming aware of the false identity or names we’ve believed, yields the opportunity to reject this falsity forever and come in sync with our true identity.
Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. –Psalm 139:23-24
God, please search me and reveal to me the false names or false identities I believe true about myself.
After you have written this information down, use your imagination to meet with Jesus concerning these false things. The goal is to be done with these lies by bringing them to the light and perhaps even burning up the paper upon which you’ve written them for these lies are now dead to you! See this process on pages 86-89.
