Breaking Free from the Lies
Posted On January 30, 2017


When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

I was told that when I was thinner I would be better.

When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

I was told that I’d make nothing of myself.

When I was younger I had lies spoken over me.

But that is all they were – lies.

I no longer believe those lies.

Their power has been broken.

 

I don’t have to be slimmer to be better.

I am enough already.

At this weight I am accepted.

Jesus loves me and He will never love me any more than He does right now.

I don’t need to earn His favour.

I don’t need to impress anyone else.

If I choose to lose weight, I do it for me and for my health.

 

Now I am an adult I know I am enough.

It doesn’t matter what you think.

Your words, your looks, your thoughts have no power over me.

Because I am a daughter of the Most high.

I no longer live under lies.

I have been set free.

And today I choose to open the prison door and to step outside.

 

The chains are well and truly broken.

Thank you Jesus.

So very true! And so important to keep reminding ourselves of the truth God has spoken to us. Our Daddy is very pleased with us, loves us and wants us to be free! I was looking again at what He calls Himself when he shows His glory to Moses – “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God” How amazing that He makes that the name by which we should know Him.
