When we identify ourselves with our shortcomings, we give them a foothold over us that becomes so entrenched that we don't even recognize that this identification is a lie. In his videos for the Unbound: Freedom in Christ seminar, Neal Lozano talks about a prayer experience in which he was being prayed for, well before his ministry developed, and the prayer leader asked him if he "felt that?" Until that moment, he'd always assumed that the "that" which he felt was just a natural part of him, but it was not really a part of his own identity.
Sometimes our self-identification can be an excuse to not be the son or daughter that we know we're being called to be. That can take many forms.
