1) Some of what you feel/believe strongest about is just plain wrong - process of unlearning is necessary.
2) Some of your habits or pieces of your lifestyle that you are most comfortable with are destructive to you - process of allowing the natural to transform into the supernatural.
3) All of the lies that you have believed about God and yourself are totally counterproductive to becoming more like Jesus - process of sanctification(accepting and relying on the mind of Christ as a gift to become more like Jesus in thoughts/attitudes/action).
