A common saying around Revelation Wellness is "God want to love the hell out of you". What does that even really mean? Just that we want people to get to Heaven? Well, of course the answer is yes to that, but it's way more than that.
Part of the goal of the ministry of Revelation Wellness, who I am certified through, is to love the lies right out of you. The lies straight from the devil. The fear, the guilt, the shame. Another popular saying is "Shame off of you"! Maybe it's the need for perfection. The belief that you have to get it just right, hit every target, or you aren't going to do it at all. Or maybe you fall in the complete opposicit category, procrastination. Thinking there is always tomorrow, Monday, a new month or maybe after the next holiday.
The truth is, whether you're putting off a decision or feel like you've messed things up. You get to choose again at the very next choice. obedience is doing what you need to when you need to do it. Delayed obedience is really disobedience.
How do we defeat the lies? They can be loud. They can be deep rooted. Some of them may have been lingering around for a long time.
First things first, you absolutely have to be in God's Word, the truth, the only truth, that's how you defeat the lie. (Add scripture)
Second you have to recognize the lie. Once you recognize it, you have to challenge it. Find scripture you know that disproves the lie. Put it on repeat.
Something else that might be helpful is journaling through the following questions:
- A defining moment in your life that led to that thought, that lie.
- Words that remind you of the moment.
- Specific people involved in the moment.
- Any additional events that led to or have furthered the hurt and continued belief in the lie.
- Pray for God to reveal the truth to you in regards to this lie. The truth about you.
- Jot down any verse you can pull to your memory quickly when the lie tried to gain traction.
