The
Lies We Believe continued
Lie # 5 “It is my Christian
duty to meet all the needs of others.” Sometimes we work so hard to please God
and other people that we may suffer from an emotional burnout. We try so hard
that we cannot carry on the Ministry God called us to do. We are not called to
do it all, only our part.
Lie # 6 “A good Christian
doesn’t feel, angry, Anxious or depressed.” Even Jesus Himself felt these
emotions. They are not a sign of weak faith. Many times, we stuff these emotions
deep within us until finally they spew forth in abundance. It is better to
experience the emotion intended for the experience than to hold it all in just
to explode later.
Lie #7 “God can’t use me unless I’m
spiritually strong.” God can use us at anytime and anyplace whenever He wants.
It helps if we are honest about our weaknesses and struggles and share our experiences
with those who can benefit from them. God always takes the bad and turns it into
good. He can use us!
How to defeat the Lies we believe. Dr.
Chris Thurman tells us: to openly rebuke lies. He calls them thought stoppers.
Secondly, he suggests memorizing scripture and meditating on them. Thirdly, he
suggests not thinking about doing this but doing it!
