Fear Is a Liar: Take Captive Every Thought

SHOW NOTES:

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this episode, I share an excerpt from Step Three of my new book, Living Perfectly Loved. Do you know that God cares a lot about our thought lives? His Word says, “A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him” (Matthew 12:35 NIV). Until learning the significance of this, I was mostly unaware of my innermost thoughts. I often didn’t realize that it was my thought choices that were holding me captive to fear! Rather than continuing to allow my thoughts to take me captive, I learned that I have the authority to take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ! To help with the process of identifying fear’s lies and replacing them with God’s truth, I’ve provided a link for you to get A Guide to Taking Every Thought Captive: Replacing Worn-Out Lies with God’s Truth, a free resource I’m offering from the appendices of my book (located below in my Episode Resources section). This guide contains some of the most common lies we often fall prey to, along with two truths from Scripture that you can use to combat the lies. Fear is a liar—but by wielding the sword of the Spirit you can overcome every lie the enemy would try to use to tear you down, and begin living daily in the liberty Jesus died to give you.
