And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32 (NKJV)
Do you feel like something is preventing you from doing what God wants you to do? If so, it may be your own misbeliefs holding you back.
Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) says to guard your heart with all diligence because “it determines the course of your life.” In other words, the beliefs of your heart are shaping your life. Depending what they are, these beliefs cause you to experience more positivity or negativity, prosperity or poverty, sickness or health, and confidence or low self-worth. All areas of your life are influenced by your heart beliefs.
This is why it is so important to guard what you believe carefully. When your heart believes the wrong thing, it can seem as though something is preventing you from getting ahead because things always happen to mess up your plans. In reality, it may just be your beliefs that are limiting you, and you can change your beliefs.
It’s time to let the truth make you free because God’s promises are already yours. You don’t have to do anything to earn them. But as you meditate on them, you begin to absorb the truth. You become convinced in your heart that those promises are yours, which begins a powerful process that leads to you walking out each promise.
For example, as you stand on the promise that everything you put your hand to prospers (Deuteronomy 28:8), believing you’re empowered to build a great business, that belief will begin to connect you to the right information and the people you need to succeed.
God’s promises are real and you can walk in them! Meditate on a promise like the one above and speak it over your life.
