What Lies Are You Believing?

Last night at our small group, we were talking about the lies that we believe. These lies are, of course, from the devil himself. However, if we are not consciously casting these thoughts down and replacing them with the truth about ourselves from God's perspective, our minds get full of junk. God's perspective about things can be found in the Bible.

The Bible is full of words of wisdom along with how he sees us even before we come to him and say "God, I have messed up. I know that your son died for me on the cross and rose again. Please forgive me. God, I want you to be in control of my life." The Bible says in Romans 5:6 NIV "When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners." God loved us when we were formed in our mother's womb. Isn't that good news? We are loved by God Almighty, the creator of the universe.

Now, back to my original thought, lies, lie, and more lies. If there is one thing that I cannot stand is being lied to. I would rather be told the truth and deal with what that brings. The devil is the original liar. My question to you is "What lies are you believing?" I encourage you to write the lie down on an index card and after the lie write what the Bible has to say about that lie. Share the lies that you are being told with a trusted friend who can pray with you and encourage you. If you want to share with me, please email me at gullandfamily@q.com or call me.

I could write an entire post about lies that I have believed. Unfortunately, I do not have time to do so today. I am heading off to an Encounter Weekend, so I need to get my house in order for the boys.

Please keep me and the ladies from The River in your prayers as we head off away from our families for the weekend to encounter God and deal with the junk in our soul (which is our mind, will, and emotions).

Blessings to you and your families! Have a wonderful weekend!
