THE WORLD CALLS THEM LIMITING BELIEFS BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THEY ARE THE DEVIL’S LIES!

Let’s start with the Truth. Limiting beliefs are just a fancy way of saying the devil’s lies. He is the

original liar, he is called the Father of lies. He uses lies and create deceit in the hearts and minds of

not just Christians but everyone. Everything he does is based on his desire to lie to you to deceive

you into believing his lies are truths.

The Bible tells the truth about him. It says in John 8:44…He has always hated the truth, because

there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father

of lies (New Living Translation).

Limiting beliefs are unhealthy opinions or thoughts about yourself and other people. These lies are

are given validity through your response to the situations you encounter in your daily life. They are

expressed through your emotions which then impacts how you respond in these situations. They

create unhealthy habits that are quite difficult to break on your own.

.

They can cause you to feel like you are a nobody and that the whole world is against you

These lies show up in your relationships at every level even at the highest level.

In your relationship with God:

In your relationship with yourself:

Stop doubting your ability, stop denying yourself of an opportunity because you think someone else

deserves it more. As absurd as it sounds you like this place-because it’s easier ‘to give up your spot’

than to try and fail.

In your relationships at work:

These lies show up at work, in meetings, in your interactions, in how far you think you can go

professionally. So, here are the lies:

These lies show up in your dating and marriage contemplations:

Dating:

Marriage:

These lies will show up in Church and in those relationships and activities also.

They limit you. They hinder you. They cripple your progress-the you, you want to become always

appears a little out of reach. They challenge you and the life you want for yourself and unless you

eye-ball these lies, recognize, reframe and replace them, they will continue to dictate your end

result.

KNOW This: Limiting beliefs do not facilitate goal getting. They take you away from every goal you

set for yourself and your life NOT to THEM!

If one of your GOAL is to have a long-lasting and loving godly Relationship how can limiting beliefs

facilitate your relationship goal, when you may feel:

These are all examples of limiting beliefs which really are opinions or conclusions about who you are.

These opinions really don’t facilitate growth or encourage you to succeed. They come with a finality

and a deep deception that gets lodged deep with the core of who you are that secretly shouts NO

each time you try to excel or reach for more in your life. They hide deep within your mind and

influences you at every turn.

So, limiting beliefs:

Whether you are forming new relationships or navigating old ones - your limiting beliefs may

lead you to these kinds of conclusions- you don’t really fit in or you are always on the

outside looking in, nobody understands you, they are all better than you, you’re a nobody.

You have little or no value.

These lies often become self-fulfilling prophecies because of the cycle you are stuck in. You

either feel rejected or something happens to make you believe that you truly are worthless

and a nobody.

But the Bible says to you, stop thinking like the world-you know better than this. Grab your

Bible and take a look at Romans 12:2 which says. And do not be conformed to this world,

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that

good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Despite what you hear in your ear, despite what you feel to be true. Think Different

The UNCONCIOUS prompts that you follow daily!

These unconscious prompts facilitate and perpetuate the lie. These limiting beliefs shapes what you

think you deserve or what you believe you can take for yourself.

Here’s an example:

WATCH This: There is a guy you know from say, College-you always liked him. Each time you thought

about telling him how you feel- your Limiting Belief speaks first and very loudly and quickly overrides

your courage- It says, “My dear, don’t bother- You are not his type. It says, don’t fool yourself honey.

You are not in his league. Look at the type of girl he’s attracted to-You ain’t it. Look at your nose,

look at your mouth! Intellectually you ain’t all that. Stay in your lane.”

The RESULT: Another missed opportunity

How many times has this happened? Not just in relationships but on the job, in matters concerning

your personal development. How many times?

How many missed opportunities are you going to continue to facilitate?

I hope the answer to that question is Not One More.

It is time to get violent.

It is a well-known truth that you must fight for the promise. This is nothing new, hear what the Bible

says in Matthew 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven

suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Violent means using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or

something.

Hint, hint: it’s time to kill those lies.

Let’s find out where these lies come from.

Let’s get this straight limiting beliefs aren’t fashionable. You need to get rid of them like you do a

winter coat in summer.

These lies come about from the skillfully laid traps of the enemy of your soul who is a thief who has

come to steal, and to kill, and to destroy your life and every God given dream that’s in your

heart.

a. From your childhood experiences that impact your adult experiences

Did you know that science shows that 90% of what you do as adults is dictated by the subconscious

habits you learnt as a child?

b. From your Family belief systems

I. Family beliefs can be many and varied. These beliefs create expectations that may not always have been
explicitly taught but they were learnt through family interactions:

II. Family belief system Influences your view on relationships. Your family may

think and you have learnt that:

c. Relationships with friends /significant other/ work can create spaces where

limiting beliefs thrive:

We’ve talked about this before, but I want you to take a moment and ask you to think about how

these experiences from you past and the lies that have become attached to them been impacting

your life and the decisions you have made to date.

Examine their adverse effects in every area of your life.

How many missed opportunities can you count?

The lies of the enemy are designed to kill, steal and destroy you. His plan hasn’t changed they

remain the same to this day. He plans to:

But stop doing this

Stop feeling like the whole world is against you. The best thing for that is a good dose of spiritual

identity. Your identity in Jesus Christ keeps you secure and it also keeps you positive and confident

that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it.

Don’t lose heart.

Having identified or recognize the lies is the first step in flipping the script.

It’s time to build a strategy to defeat the devil in your life for good.
