“Instead of focusing on working through the lies, ask the Lord to show you His truths about you, and maybe even invite the other people on your team to speak out truths over you through listening prayer. It shifts the focus from negative to positive and allows the Lord to show you more of Himself in you. Then, when you can stand firm in the truths, the lies can’t stand up.”
This was written to me the other day and it just hit home. Lately I have been struggling with taking thoughts captive and allowing Gods word to speak into my thoughts. There are many things I give attention too and lately I have given too much attention to lies the enemy speaks into my life. The fruit this has reaped has been anxiety, depression,hopelessness confusion etc. and it’s no fun ! What my friend said the other day along with God and what others have been speaking to me has reminded me to pick my head up and see what the Lord has done in my life and walk in the identity and Truths that God says.
Some of these truths are: I’m his beloved, He loves me regardless of what I do or don’t do for Him, He has good works prepared in advance for me to walk in, I’m His child, I’m forgiven cleansed from all unrighteousness , I’m made righteous and am seated in the heavenly realms with Him, I am a new creation the old had gone and the new has come, I was made in his image and nothing can separate me from his love etc. When I focus on these truths the fruit that comes is life, peace,contentment and the remembrance that I have freedom in Christ. That Freedom has already been bought and I get to walk in it because I am a daughter of God. The fruit that comes from that is sweet! Thank God that He continues to bring this to my attention. Just thought I’d let y’all in on some of the things the Lords doing with me. I’m learning it’s a process to renew your mind but that it’s worth it even though it’s not always a walk in the park.
