Exposing False Beliefs

Devotional Reading: 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. Romans 12:2 NKJV

When Satan deceived Adam and Eve, he specifically targeted their God-given ability to believe—that is, he convinced them to believe Satan‘s lies as God‘s Truth and God‘s Truth as Satan’s lies. Man is prone to believe lies as truth.

Man has natural tendencies to want to know things which is good. Knowledge can be useful, but it cannot impart God’s Truth! When you became a Christian, the Holy Spirit began assailing your mind with God’s Truth. Unfortunately, the Truth of God often contradicts the beliefs you already hold. When one of your existing beliefs disagrees with a new Truth, your mind engages in an inward battle between Spirit and flesh (your sinful tendencies).

The way to stop the battle is through the biblical process of renewing your mind. When you allow your mind to be renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit, the false beliefs you hold are exposed and replaced. What you believe is of utmost importance, because your beliefs directly effect how you behave. The more your mind is renewed, the more it is freed from false beliefs and the more you will see a change in your behavior.

Begin by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal any incorrect beliefs you have about yourself, God, or others. Look up Scripture and ask the Holy Spirit to start exposing the incorrect belief and to revealing His Truths. As you trust in God, His Word, and the Holy Spirit you will see transformation.

Prayer and Confession
I yield my mind to the influence of the Holy Spirit and His word to transform me. Amen!
