What if you took out a piece of paper and a pen?
What if you look inside and then wrote down the lies you tell yourself?
How do you recognise lies that live in the dark?
Well, tone is one indicator. If you speak to YOU in a tone you wouldn’t speak aloud to someone you love, catch those words as they move through your semi-consciousness, bring them out in the light of day and write them down.
Another indicator is that they are often a just in the form of ONE word or a wave of feeling which flies through so fast and will pre-curse decisions or actions or lack of action. Words like “useless, pathetic, ugly, stupid, pathetic, failure, unwanted, cut, die, hate, alone”.
Light banishes darkness.
Darkness can’t stay in the light.
Darkness thrives in darkness and can return and thrive in darkness where only you know it resides.
What if…
What IF…
W H A T I F – you got just as serious about applying LIGHT as you the unconscious of assumption that the dark is truth?
WHAT IF?
Go on!
Bring the junk out in the light!
See it!
Recognise its intention to harm you, bind you, intimidate you, twist you, cripple you, hold you in the dark – – – and reject it.
With all seriousness and purpose.
Feelings can be flags and sometimes advisors but they are LOUSY kings or lords.
If you say you believe in THE King – swim in His Truth of you instead.
Whose voice will you crown as Leader?
Whose agreement has you?
DO IT!Challenge- who here would send me their own seen lies?
I once asked a group of teens to do this, letting them know ahead of time I wanted to read their responses aloud to the group – though they wrote them down anonymously.
Lies we believe, make us also believe we’re alone or unique in that belief.
It was powerful to see that 80% of what I read aloud to the group of teens was common to all of them!
You’re not alone.
There’s nothing special about the lies you’ve believed and lived.
The enemy of your soul is unoriginal and anticreative- and thrives in the dark.
Fear of light is just another lie to reject.
