How To Stop Believing The Lies In Your Head

in Spiritual Growth on 05/17/18

While praying over this weeks post that originally was going up, I felt the Lord tug on my heart about a different subject. This past weekend I spoke at a Women’s event and there’s a little part of that message that I want to share with you. So the original post gets moved up a week and today, prayerfully, you will read exactly what you’ve been needing to hear. If this speaks to you, please know it’s because God hears you and sees you. Also, let me know! I would love to rejoice with you.

When you are going through tough seasons or dealing with a lot- do you find yourself believing the lies in your head?

During my third year in college, I was having some health issues. I was going to the doctors and they kept telling me it was one thing and treating me for it. But the medication and treatment never worked. After going a few times they started talking about the possibility that I may have an issue with a certain organ or a serious infection. They wanted to send me to a specialist. I laid in bed that night confused and wondering if this would be a lifelong struggle or a sign of something major going on in my body. I barely slept that night. That weekend I went on a leadership treat and they had a time for people to be prayed over for healing. That night, the Lord healed me of whatever was wrong in my body. All symptoms and signs were gone. I went to the doctor and they ran some tests and all my numbers came back normal.

When you’re given a poor doctors report- do you believe the doctor’s words spoken as your destiny? You accept what the doctor says as permanent and wallow in your sick filled future. You subconsciously accept the illness and whatever lifestyle may come with it. The thought of Christ healing you never crosses your mind.

If it’s not illness maybe it’s your marriage. You’re walking through a season where your marriage feels broken- do you find yourself thinking your marriage will never be fixed? You accept the issues or blame everything on the other person. You wonder if this is how it will always be and if trying is even worth it.

Maybe you see your past as something so heavy and full of regret you can’t possibly believe Christ forgives you. You let your past determine your current worth and dictate your future. You allow yourself to be held back out of fear of people finding out who you “really” are. You accept your past for what it is and refuse to accept the Lord’s forgiveness.

Or you believe you’re not pretty enough, skinny enough, talented enough or even qualified to do whatever it is that God has called you to do. You allow the hurtful words of others and your own insecurities define and shape the way you see yourself. Whether you accept opportunities or not is based on your insecurities.

Perhaps, your finances are struggling and you decide that your financial needs will never go away. That the pit you’ve found yourself in will always exist and God will never bless you or give you the tools to escape. So you welcome the debt and limitations as your norm.

You and I can easily start to believe the lies of the world over living the truth of the Word. Knowing what the Word of God says and speaking it over your life will empower you to walk in His promises.

Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.”

If you’ve been given a poor doctor’s report- proclaim the word of God over your illness. Remember how by His stripes you are healed (Isaiah 53:5) and how God heals ALL your diseases (Psalm 103:3). Let your faith be strengthened as you press into the His Word.

When your marriage is tested or you’re in a season where it’s difficult, hurting, and broken- remember God’s Word says you’re no longer two people but one (Matthew 19:6) and what He brought together- let no one separate (Mark 10:9). Pray these verses over your marriage and thoughts. Find peace knowing God’s will is for your marriage to be healed and fully restored.

When you’re dealing with regrets from your past and so badly want to move forward remember the Word. It says to forget about your past because God is doing something new in you (Isaiah 43:18-19). God’s love for you never ends and His mercies are new every day (Lamentations 3:22-23). So take the truth and use it as encouragement to move forward and into a new season of living out the call God has placed on your life.

Having insecurities and self-doubt is more common than you realize. Whether certain situations or people have caused you to doubt yourself or your giftings, allow God to transform your mind (Romans 12:2). When God transforms your mind, your eyes will come off yourself and shortcomings and they will be placed on Jesus and His goodness. When your focus is on Christ- your confidence will be found.

When worry starts to set in with your bills being late or not having enough to eat, know God will provide everything you will never need (Phil. 4:19). Remember what He has done in the past (Psalm 77:11) and how He will do it again.

Knowing the Word of God guards your eyes and minds when we write them on our hearts (Proverbs 7:2-3). Praying scripture over your mind is a powerful tool to overcome the lies we so easily can tell ourselves.

Romans 15:4 says, “Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.”

    “Praying scripture over your mind is a powerful tool to overcome the lies we so easily can tell ourselves.” – This makes me think of Ephesians 6:17b – and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Scripture is our one offensive tool against the great deceiver. Thank you for these reminders. Blessings!

    Heather, this is such a powerful message. I did a Bible study last fall that really challenged me with the idea of praying Scripture: It was incredible to see the power of God’s Word and the way it can strip power from those lies in my head. It was also rather startling to realize just how many lies I had been believing! I appreciate this important reminder because it’s so easy to fall into that doomsday mentality instead of turning to God for strength. Thanks for sharing this!

    Thank you for the encouraging post. It is so easy to listen to our own thoughts or the thoughts which the enemy stirs in us rather than what God says about us. We need to be able to tune out all other distractions and only hear the voice of the Shepherd.

    Heather, such practical truth. Thanks for sharing your heart and your journey. I think that one of the best ways to pray is to pray the Word of God over your life and situation and over the lives of those around you. You can’t go wrong when you pray the words inspired by the Holy Spirit and written down in our Bibles to read and meditate upon. These words aren’t magic, but they are powerful and in line with God’s will.

    Amen! Thank you for this post! The tactic that the enemy uses is to get our way of thinking all mixed up. We can’t allow him to win the battle for we have an Almighty God who fights for us in all of our circumstances and just like today God reminds us how He is with us and that we can do whatever it is that He puts in our hands (if we have kids He blessed us with them because He knows we are able to take care of them, if we have a marriage He blessed us with it because He will be there for us in the good and the bad so that our focus can stay on Him, if we have an illness He is the ONLY God who can heal and it will be for His glory to do so). God’s timing is always perfect 😉 Thank you Heather 🙂

Happy Easter!! •••• I met Jesus when I was Happy Easter!!
••••
I met Jesus when I was 14 years old. My brother invited me to church with him, I went, listened, and was given a Bible at the end of the service. ••••
I remember coming home and sitting on my bed with my new Bible in my hand. I sat there thinking of everything I was told that night and how it reminded me of everything I was taught when I was a little girl. ••••
After sitting there for awhile, I prayed for the very first time. Out loud I said, “OK God, if you are who they say you are, then why would you send your son to die for me, why wouldn’t you just die for me?”
••••
Immediately, and when I say immediately I truly mean with no hesitation a thought came into my mind. I heard, “Doesn’t a parent love their child so much that they would die for them? I love you so much more then that, that I would allow my child to die for YOU.”
••••
I knew the thought that had entered my mind was not from me. I knew it was God speaking directly to me. Since that day, I’ve followed Jesus, learning more about Him, and have dedicated my life to sharing about eternal life through Christ and all the goodness He is. ••••
The world will tell you religion is all about rules and what not to do. Can I personally tell you, that is not true. Following Jesus has given me freedom to truly live. I GET to do things because of Jesus. ••••
I get to love others because Jesus taught me how to love. 
I get to give to others because Jesus has given so much to me. 
I get to truly forgive because Jesus forgave me. 
I get to heal from the hurts life has thrown at me because Jesus has healed me. 
I get to live a life full of JOY because joy comes from Jesus! 
And sooo much more! ••••
My prayer for you is to passionately serve Jesus, have eternal life through Him, and to truly experience what is feels to live a life of freedom.

I spent a semester in Israel during my college yea I spent a semester in Israel during my college years @seuniversity. It was two months after James and I got married so, our first few months as a married couple were spent walking the same streets of Jesus. To say it was a cool experience would be an understatement. •••••••
During my time in Israel there were two moments that took my breath away. One of those moments was being in the literally prison hole that Jesus stayed in the night before He died. •••••••
Historical sites are given a grading scale. An A site is “this is for sure the site that XYZ took place.” An B site is “XYZ took place here OR there” And a C site is “XYZ took place somewhere in this region.” •••••••
Jesus holding cell is an A site. •••••••
I stood in the prison with my fellow students and professor and his family. We sang the hymn - “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus.” It was the only time there I wept like a baby. Snot and all haha! •••••••
But man, to be where your savior was knowing what was to come and He chose to do it anyways. I’ve never felt more love in that moment then I have in my entire life. ••••••••
So today, my prayer is for you to feel that same love. To know Jesus died today for YOU and that He came back for YOU! You are His chosen child. •

In January we lost my sweet mother-in-law very suddenly. It was a shock to us all and has taken us a bit to wrap our minds around. •
•

In addition to the loss of my mother-in-law, we’ve been navigating some health struggles. Now, with everything going on in our world, I can say it’s def been a year so far. •
•

But, God is good. If it’s not good- then it doesn’t come from God. The enemy is very real but nothing to fear because our God is bigger. •
•

So, Today, I want to take a moment to share with you what losing my sweet mother-in-law has taught me. It’s something we can all learn from and I hope it blesses you and encourages you. •

Hi, friend. I know it’s been awhile and I have Hi, friend. 
I know it’s been awhile and I have a post going up tomorrow that explains what the beginning of 2020 has held for myself and my family. 
But, I wanted to get one here tonight to share something that has been on my heart. 
You cannot turn on the TV or pick up your phone without the word “COVID-19” blaring at you. While it’s wise to be informed, these are times many can become anxious, full of fear, and worry. 
Friend, this is our time. And what I mean by that, it’s the Church body’s time. It’s our time to rise up and praise the name of Jesus louder then any other name or word. 
Can I remind you that Jesus conquered every sickness and disease! 
Every. Single. One. 
When He died on that cross. 
And He rose again. 
There are a lot of different beliefs on healing, authority, and what role it plays in our life today. I want to encourage you to seek Jesus through His word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to His truth. 
When you find yourself reading this, do me a favor and pause. Look up Psalm 91. Read it, listen to it on repeat on the Bible app, and dwell in the presence of God. 
And then, wake up tomorrow knowing you are a child of the most high King- who rescues you from every attack of the enemy, who protects you from deadly diseases, who is covering you with His feathers and providing you shelter. 
I love you, friend. I’m praying for you.

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •
•
•

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️

Can I remind you that Jesus conquered every sickness and disease! 
Every. Single. One. 
When He died on that cross. 
And He rose again. 
There are a lot of different beliefs on healing, authority, and what role it plays in our life today. I want to encourage you to seek Jesus through His word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to His truth. 
When you find yourself reading this, do me a favor and pause. Look up Psalm 91. Read it, listen to it on repeat on the Bible app, and dwell in the presence of God. 
And then, wake up tomorrow knowing you are a child of the most high King- who rescues you from every attack of the enemy, who protects you from deadly diseases, who is covering you with His feathers and providing you shelter. 
I love you, friend. I’m praying for you.

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️
