Will you choose freedom?

The battle for right choices begins in our minds. Our Creator gave us an incredible brain with the ability to do multiple things at once, including thinking. Many times our thoughts lead us in a downward spiral and very quickly, our attitudes follow. We think lies about ourselves: that we are failures, we are less than or too much, that we are unloved, undesired, unknown. We think them long enough that we begin to believe them. Like a car tire stuck in a deep rut of mud, we find ourselves unable to drive out. We become prisoners of our own wrong thoughts, believing lies which affect everything and everyone around us. 

Scripture is very clear that we have been given the mind of Christ. We have the power of the risen Christ enabling us to stop those negative defeating thoughts! But, stopping them isn’t enough. Our minds need to be renewed and set free from the bondage of those lies. How do we get out of that negative rut? By believing the truth. Simple, but so difficult because our thoughts tend to travel in the same pathways they’ve always gone. Negativity has become our normal. It’s easier. It’s what we know. 

To dig out of the rut, we have to find scriptures, truths, that counter those lies. And when those same old familiar thoughts come, we need to redirect and train our minds to think the new, right thoughts. As we practice and choose the new truthful thoughts of who God says we are we will be set free!

Find freedom in the truth and hope of His words. Believe they are for you. 

Choose to believe the truth and live in freedom, or lies will be your prison.
