When we speak truth to your soul – we are demonstrating self control over our emotions. This week we are talking about the words we speak to ourselves. The things we think about become the things we say and act upon. If we want to say and do something different than we are no experiencing, it takes discipline, but if we change the input, we will get a different output. What comes in through our thoughts, is what goes out through our words and actions. So is what we are saying the truth? If not, what we are thinking isn’t the truth either! When we know the truth, the truth will set us free! Knowing the truth will bring us freedom, but often we think it works for everybody but ourselves! We give everyone else grace for mistakes, and give ourselves none. We believe the best about others, and the worst about ourselves. We think God will answer everyone else’s prayers, but He’s not that concerned about me. Or we have spoken to ourselves what we heard others say about us in childhood…..like an echo from the past that won’t go away. I like to picture God with a big blackboard in heaven erasing all the negative words that have been written over our lives. When the thought comes up that we’re stupid, or will never amount to much, or what a failure or disappointment we are, God’s big eraser, removes those words from the black board. He writes over us – over comer, victorious, worthy, and righteous son or daughter of God. He calls us righteous, and because of Jesus, we are now the righteousness of God in Christ! What was wrong becomes right through Calvary. So today…remember God’s words about you. The enemies lies, or even the words of unthinking people in your past don’t have power over you any longer…..The Truth has set you free.
