Hey our friend
We hope you had a wonderful week. We saw God coming through in many ways. Over the last week we saw more and more parts of the vision of End Loneliness coming true. Our God is awesome. Jen led an aerobic class together with the DTS at the Italian community center, and through the prayer walks in the last week we saw more of God coming through in the neighborhood. Praise God.
What are your wrong believes?
Todays blog is inspired by Steve Backlund who was speaking at church last Saturday. He shared on the topic of wrong believes. Our actions and the way we live our life is controlled by what we believe. As an example if we approach life like this: “Its hopeless”. If we have that believe we will look at things with a way more negative and not hope bringing attitude. But if you look at the bible and the different situations people went through, you realize that its not that hopeless: Abraham got a son in really old age (Genesis 17-21). Joseph was hated by his brothers and almost got killed but became a ruler over Egypt (Genesis 37-41),Moses stood in front of the ocean with enemies behind him and the crowd he was leading, so God just spilt the water. The disciples were afraid to get killed by the Christian hater Saul. God just turned his heart and he became the greatest apostle in the bible (Acts). Lazarus came to life after being dead for 4 days (John 11).
But now after you addressed the lie just laugh out loud at it, because it is so ridiculous. And then take action steps. If you feel hopeless ask the holy spirit to show you the lies you believe in that area. Start cutting those lies out of your life. Start believing that there is hope for your life. And then start declaring that over yourself on a daily base. I recommend reading Steves book Lets just laugh at that.
So now if you think about that one lie, you notice that there are many lies like this one or similar ones in our believe system. Its important to bring those lies to the light and laugh at how ridiculous they are. And then start looking at the truth and the things God is saying. Then proclaim the truth over yourself. Ask God this week what lies you believe and find truth. And the truth will set you free John 8:32
Have a blessed week.
Markus and Jen
