When we want to change, but we can’t, we need to identify the beliefs that are resisting that change. We may need to return to the memory that created those beliefs. We take those beliefs to Jesus, and let Him do what only He can do.
Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
You might be thinking, “I already know the truth.” And you might be right. You probably do know the truth. But understand this: It isn’t the part of you that wants to change that needs to know the truth. It’s the part of you that can’t change that needs to know the truth.
Just like my son. He knew he shouldn’t be hitting his sister. Part of his mind was already informed.
But it’s the other part—the part that does not want to change—that part needs to receive from Jesus the truth that will set us free. The amazing thing is this: Jesus knows exactly how to deliver that truth so the part of us resisting the change can take it in.
When the beliefs change, the resistance goes away, and change becomes easy, natural, no, super easy and supernatural.
Hope this was helpful. This is a topic I cover in much more detail in my course, Spiritual Self Defense.
