RENEWAL TRUTH

I am framing my life with what God says about me

in His Word. He says He has a future and a hope for me,

filled with peace and free of evil.

(Hebrews 11:3; Jeremiah 29:11)

It’s like the guy with a temper. He tries to convince himself that he is not going to shout, yell, or scream. He fully intends to stay cool and calm and trains himself to hide all emotion and passion within. He eventually has an emotional breakdown or suffers depression because he didn’t get a new picture of himself. He held his feelings inside. What he should have done was to say, “I’m a kind, thoughtful person. I see myself communicating, not yelling. I see myself listening and understanding, not angrily controlling. I see myself building intimacy in relationships, not pushing others away.” This new picture of himself could have enabled him to walk free of anger rather than to keep it bottled up inside.

For lifestyle issues, we are talking about months of consistency changing the way we think and months of looking at the “new you.”

Out of nearly 3,000 young people who entered the drug rehab program, I was one of the few who completed it. Today I can count less than a dozen of those people who stayed clean. The others didn’t change their picture of themselves. Changing the picture of your life is as simple as viewing a new tomorrow. Your unlimited life is on the other side of the eraser and new canvas. Joshua 1:8 is the Scripture for Key #2:

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Key #3: Talk about the way you want to be, not the way you are.

Start communicating in a new way. Instead of saying things like, “It makes me so mad,” say, “I am beginning to understand another point of view.” You have to speak new words before you will get new feelings. Nothing “makes” you anything. You have the power to choose how you feel. You have to say things like, “I used to live for my next meal, but now food isn’t that important to me.” Your desire may be that you are desiring something to eat, but your words are, “You know, food isn’t that important to me anymore.”

Jesus said:

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea,” and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Mark 11:23

What have you been saying? “I can’t believe how hard it is. This diet is killing me.” If that’s not what you want, don’t say it. “I’ve been trying to quit smoking, but I’m telling you, every time I look around, somebody is lighting up, and it is driving me crazy.
