How often do you believe the lies? How often do you find yourself feeling inferior in a group of people? How often do you feel like people are believing gossip about you?
It's so easy to get caught up in the lies. In the lies that you aren't smart enough, or pretty, or that you won't accomplish that, or you're a failure....I could go on and on.
One of the hardest things to keep in mind, when our minds are being filled with so much negativity from so many different angles, is to take hold of every thought. Take hold of every negative thought...you know the thoughts, the one that you're not good enough, or your not pretty or smart, or that no one will ever love you...for you!
Satan is good at putting these lies in our heads and hearts, especially when we aren't countering him by filling our minds and hearts with the Word on a daily basis.
"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8 NIV)
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2 NIV)
We have to protect our hearts, our minds and our spirit by continuously filling it with God's living word. He wants us to lean on His approval and His love of us! He loves us unconditionally and He thinks we are absolutely beautiful...because He made us. He formed us.
There are so many lies we can get caught up believing, especially women. Women tend to compete with each other and want to tear each other down other than lift up! I'm still trying to figure this one out?
"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you."(Romans 12:3 NIV)
Here is some wonderful scripture when you feel hurt, worthless, ugly, or that you can't measure up. Guess what? You don't have to measure up on anyone's scale... God loves you, accepts you, cheers you on, and wants everything good for you! So stop believing the lies...and start believing Him💕
Lies we believe:
I'm worthless: Psalm 139:13-14
My sin is too big, God can't forgive me: 1John 1:9, Romans 8:38-39
I don't have anything to offer: 1 Corinthians 12:4-7
God isn't with me: Deuteronomy 31:6
No one understands what I'm going through: 1 Corinthians 10:13
I can't do this anymore: 1 Corinthians 10:13, Phillipians 4:13
Peace, Grace, Joy,
