don't believe the lies//226

Psalm 25:5 (The Message)

"Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren't you?"

Too many times throughout the day we believe lies. We believe things about ourselves that simply aren't true, and it's these stupid ridiculous lies that give way to our negative thinking, our insecurity, us hurting people, and us hurting God. I think it's a worth while lesson to, as you go about your day, start identifying what is a lie and what is truth... and when those lies come up, knock em out of the park with the mighty strong Word of God.

Don't believe things about yourself that aren't true. For example, your head tells you: "no one likes me..." First step: ask yourself is this a lie or is it truth? Second step: open your Bible to Romans 8:31, "If God is for me, who can be against me?" Third step: identify it as a lie and move on. Fourth step: you are saved from the lies and you are FREE!. Don't waste one more second believing lies that the devil throws your way. Instead, open the precious Word of God and believe that you are powerful and full of authority in the strong name of Jesus. Believe the truth about who you are - perfect, royal, fully accepted and loved and full of power in Jesus name. It sounds so simplistic and in-theory-easy-in-reality-impossible, but at the root of all of our pain, our mistakes, and especially our insecurities is when the wool is pulled over our eyes to the truth of God and who He says we are. Remember, you're a target. The devil hates you and wants you to be a crumbling mess in the corner. Don't allow it. Stand up and fight back.

Pray this prayer that David prayed, and the light of truth will show you the way and save you from the lies.
