Identify
the Problem
"And
you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free!"
John 8:32
Circumstances take place
in our lives that cause us to believe lies. These lies tell us that
circumstances cannot be changed, habits cannot be broken, loved ones
will never change, and so on. The antidote to these lies is truth.
Behind every problem in our lives is a truth that can set us free
emotionally from the problem. The problem may still be there, but
the hold it has on us is gone, so in essence we
are free and at peace.
Although liberating
truth is the same for all people, it is different aspects of the
truth that each individual must focus on to find freedom. That is
because each hurting person has their own set of lies that have been
restricting them. This website will open your eyes to the lies you
may be believing that have caused you to live below your full
potential. Below are some of the more common lies
that cause us emotional pain.
Allowing yourself to believe there is truth in any of the following
statements will hold you captive in sadness and stress.
Here they are:
1) I need to look a certain way to be happy, accepted and
successful.
Your looks have
absolutely nothing to do with how you feel on the inside. This is
proven by the fact that there are many not so good looking people
who are happy and successful. And there are many good looking people
who are unhappy. To find how to be set free from this lie,

2) I need to act a certain way to be happy, accepted and
successful.
Many people who have hidden anxiety will find themselves having
to put on a mask, in order to make it through the day. They don't
realize that they can identify what the triggers are that are
causing there anxiety, and then learn how to just relax and let
their personality unfold naturally without them trying so hard.
3) Nobody would want to be my friend.
You may find it hard to associate with people
in your present state of mind, but you can find God's peace, which
will allow you to relax in front of others, and be open to people
that He will place on your path with whom you can find friendship.
You can also learn ways of fine tuning your people skills.
4) I need to have a lover to be happy.
You may want to find a person with whom you
would like to spend the rest of your life, but what do you do in the
mean time? No need to be depressed, and then 'smother' the next
person who shows any kind of interest in you. No, you can find peace
right now. This will help you enjoy the journey to finding Mr. Right
or Mrs. Right, and then once meeting a person will help you stay
relaxed until you are sure this is the right person for you.
5) I could never be good enough to be somebody's lover.
You may feel inadequate right now in what you
feel you can bring into a relationship, but that can all change once
you have peace and confidence. A relationship with God can totally
change your life giving you the attractive qualities you need to win
that special someone.
6) I could never
be happy with my spouse.
When you have God's peace, you will be able
to live happily with anybody. It is your loving, peaceful,
respectful approach to life that will set the tone, and bring you
success in your present relationship.
7)
I could never be happy in my job.
You may feel you need to find a different job
to be happy, but what do you do in the mean time? No need to be
depressed in your present job. You can find peace now by learning
how to respond properly to situations in your present job. This will
help you enjoy the job you are presently in, and allow you to
present a positive image when being interviewed for future job
opportunities.
8) I'll never progress past the level of success I now
have, or did have.
You may feel the hardships of life may have
stripped you of your self-confidence, sabotaging you in your pursuit
of success in your employment, but don't believe that lie. God can
completely change you from the inside out and bring you amazing
success, even right where you are in your present job. Look to Him
and apply His principles in your life. Begin today.
9) I'll never have what it takes to be gainfully
employed.
You may feel that the hurts of life have so
crippled you in your emotions that you could never make it in the
work world, but don't believe that lie. You can learn how to disarm
your anxieties and become master of your own life, instead of the
other way around. God calls us to be 'more than conquerors in
Christ'. (See Romans 8:37)
10)
I'll never be truly happy again.
You may feel life has so battered you that
you could never find happiness, but don't fall for that lie. You can
bring your past hurts to God with the help of good counsellor and
resolve those hurts once and for all. Then go and enjoy the rest of
your life. All things are possible with God, and His principles for
happiness are easier to apply than you may think. Think 'outside the
box'. See yourself as completely healed by God, and let the journey
begin today.
11) God doesn't love me.
That is exactly what the enemy of our souls
would like us to believe, but don't fall for that lie. Believe the
truth, God does love you, and has great plans for you. His
mercy is new every morning and He is waiting for you to come to Him.
Begin to apply His Word to your life until the truth sinks in.
12)
I need money
or things to be happy.
That is what the world system would have you
believe, but don't believe it. When you have peace you something of
more value than money or things. When you have peace, what needs you
do have will come to you automatically without you trying so hard.
And you will have some left over in which to help others.
13) I need to be loved and accepted
to be happy.
When you have peace and confidence, you don't
need anyone to affirm your value and appreciation. It's nice to have
it, but people's affections for us are often times fickle and can
easily slip away from us. Don't lean on people's affection for your
self-worth, lean on God's unwavering love and commitment to you.
Then you will be a rock that can not be shaken.
14) I'll never be healed physically.
Don't believe this lie. Reaffirm to
yourself God's desire to see your body healed. Look up scripture
verses that prove this out and stand on them with your faith
until your healing manifests itself. Develop your faith, for it
is faith that gets God's attention, not repetitive prayers.
15) I could never be happy without this
person.
When we are in love and we happen to lose this person, it
can seem that you could never be happy again, but don't believe
that lie. God wants to show you how close He can be to you if
you will only just place your attention on Him instead of your
loss. You will be surprised how quickly life can seem bright
again. Life is too precious to stay down for extended periods of
time.
Once these
lies, or any of the other lies you may be
believing have been exposed, we
can offer you truths
that can be used to counteract the lies. As you take time to meditate on these truths, you will reach a point where
the truths become more real to you than the lies, and you will be completely free in
that part of your life. The essence of the truth that
I
use to help people, is that which is taught in the Bible. If you are
more comfortable with some other Higher Power, that is up to you.
I
have found that no other book teaches more about truth, and
the other two ingredients faith and love, which are
necessary in producing true peace. And it is this pervading peace
that is the antidote for all fear and anxiety. The rate at which you recover
from anxiety and depression is determined by you. The more you practice the
principles taught on this website the sooner you will experience
lasting peace and happiness.
Feel free to email us and tell us which lies appear to be hindering you at
this time.
