Lies.

www.elizabethbraswell.com

Hey loves! I wrote this on my social media pages today, but due to the response, I’m going to send it out here.

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: I want to write this in case anyone else is dealing with the same thing.

Last night, on the DARKEST night of the year, I was bombarded with LIES. Some of them still feel true because they are lies I’ve entertained for so long. Some of them, I still want to believe. Why? Because often…believing a lie is easier than fighting for truth.

But. I’ve learned.

I’ve learned that in the MORNING LIGHT, I must take those thoughts and belief systems and lies that have woven themselves into the very fiber of my being…I must take them and hold them up to TRUTH. Real truth. Not “my version”, “my opinion”, “my feelings”, “my slant.” TRUTH. Otherwise, I’ll spiral down a slippery slope. I must hold ALL that I have believed, embraced, even experienced … against the truth that never changes or waivers. I must go ABOVE the lies and get into heaven’s vantage point or I will not survive them.

You, too, may have some lies you’ve embraced and believed for so long they feel like LOUD RINGING truths. There may even be some truth found in them. I want to encourage you, implore you…heck, implore myself…to not sit with them for too long. Their design and intention is to kill, steal and destroy. There’s only one way through. It’s getting above them so they lose their power. We can do it. Don’t give in to them.

“Casting down all thoughts that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God.” Easy to say and quote; not quite so easy to do. But DO we must! Yes! Another good word. (By the way, I replied to your email of this and wonder if you have the “switch” turned on to receive emails and replies this way.)

Oh I love this! Our God's timing is always perfect! My scripture today "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".
