Perception Becomes Reality

Listen Later

Episode 25 is all about the power of what we speak over ourselves and what who we believe God to be. The perception I have of myself will become the reality of my life as well as the perception I have of God. If we speak words over ourselves that are discouraging, hurtful, or filled with lies from the enemy we will claim them as our identity. And the same goes for God. If we allow the world to skew our view of Him we miss the reality of who He really is.

How we start our day:

  • Do we begin our day with the words of God or with the words of our humanness?
  • Do we being by thankful for what God has done for us or do we wake up wishing for me?
  • The statements we start are day with will be setting the tone for everyone we encounter.

    • Women's Conference Story:

    • I allowed the lies I'd been saying about myself join the lies the enemy was trying to tell me and let them override what God said about me.
    • I was trying to walk in the confidence of "man" and not in the confidence of Christ!
    • I let others gifts become better than mine. God gives us all different gifts that deserve and need to be celebrated.

      • "Perception Becomes Reality"

      • These words that were sent to me stung 2 years ago. But 2 years later God made them His message to me about how I view myself and Him. (because He's just thank GOOD!)
      • We say these negative statements about ourselves that end up becoming the reality of what we believe.
      • Negative Statements- We're not good enough, we're not pretty enough, we're not smart enough, we're failures, know one likes us.
        • IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN OUR STATEMENTS BECOME WHAT GOD SAYS ABOUT US.
      • We are children of God, I was made in His image, I have a sound mind, I am chosen, He loves me with an everlasting love.
      • When these words become the words of our life our identity becomes set in Him.

        • This weeks challenge: choose one statement that God says you are. Speak it when you look at yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning and right before bed time. These words will being to let you see yourself the way God sees you.

        • I am Chosen. - 1 Peter 2:4
        • I have a sound mind. - 2 Timothy 1:7
        • I am loved with an everlasting love. - Jeremiah 31:3
        • I was made in His image. - Genesis 1:27
        • I am a child of God. - 1 John 3:1
