Let’s get honest—every one of us has believed lies about ourselves. “I’m not good enough.” “I’ll never change.” “God is disappointed in me.” These thoughts don’t come from Heaven. They’re planted by an enemy who knows that if you ever truly believed who you are in Christ, he wouldn’t stand a chance. So today, we reject those lies—loudly.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind...” — Romans 12:2 (ESV)
This world is full of voices competing to define you. The media tells you what you should look like. Social platforms tell you how successful you should be. The past tells you what you’ll never become. But God? God speaks truth over your life—and the only way to hear Him clearly is to renew your mind.
That means identifying every lie and refusing to agree with it.
Here are some common lies we need to evict:
* Lie: “I’m too broken.”Truth: You are made whole in Christ.
* Lie: “I’ve failed too many times.”Truth: His mercies are new every morning.
* Lie: “God can’t use someone like me.”Truth: God chooses the weak to shame the strong.
Lies gain power when we agree with them. Truth breaks chains when we declare it.
So how do we reject lies? We replace them. Not with motivational quotes—but with Scripture. God’s Word is our ultimate filter. If it doesn’t align with what He says, it gets thrown out—no exceptions.
Question of the Day:What lie have you believed about yourself—and what truth from God’s Word will you use to replace it?
Mini Call to Action:Write down one lie you’ve believed. Cross it out. Then write a verse from Scripture that speaks the truth. Say that truth out loud today.
Let’s Pray:Jesus, I repent for agreeing with lies about who I am. Help me renew my mind with Your truth. Show me what You see when You look at me—and give me the courage to believe it. In Your name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!Your identity is too sacred to let the enemy narrate it. Speak truth. Live free.
