No, my thoughts about me have been totally sabotaging me!!! This was exactly what I needed to hear!! I LOVE how this message just OPENED my eyes when Pastor Craig said "stop believing what the enemy says about you and believe what GOD says about you" I shook my head and thought "Oh my gosh, HELLO!" Epiphany!!! Something I have known my whole walk with Christ but just didnt live it out ! Thank you so much! I have been set FREE 🙌 Glory to JESUS!!!
No! I have been listening to the enemy for too long. I needed this message...especially the verses from John 8:44-45! I've got Craig's new book. Pray that I can stop listening to the lies about me. I've been overeating and not exercising. I want to God's temple (my body) better.
I want to be just like you. Right now, I have no idea who I am now, just the things I learned from you, Lord. I guess that I am not who I used to be. I guess to my kids and their friends. But I remember how I did not let them do what they wanted to do. I always punished them when they needed it. I gave them chores to do. My 2 sons are adults, and Trevor doesn't live with me. Schuyler still does and is still learning. He learned the chores, he really wanted to clean. He liked it. But both have ADHD also. Trevor thinks because he is over 18, he doesn't have to listen to me. I just have to let him learn by mistakes. So that is what I do. Then he comes calling, and with him they are like very big mistakes.
many of us, including me, have this negative mindset. "I can't do it coz I'm not good enough and it will fail." or "Mom always says I'm useless, so I guess I am." The truth is, the Bible has answers to every problem that we have. And I thank Pastor Craig for helping me see that.
Hello, Kevin C! Struggling with negative thoughts can be really difficult. Do you see us, dear Lord? Do you see our struggle? You are mighty. You are strong, and you love us. Set us free, Lord! Cast the enemy out of our minds and our lives. Let no attack, deceit, or contamination affect us anymore. All victory is yours alone. Here is a resource to help with battling negativity. open.life.church/resources/5053-winning-the-war-in-your-mind -Kat

Hi Titus 👋 Here are a copy of the notes from this message, you can all message notes by viewing the sermons in the Life.Church App! 😊 Life.Church February 4, 2023 ==================================== The Power to Change: Stop the Negative Self-Talk Do you ever wonder why you make certain choices? Maybe you wanted to make a change in your life but just couldn’t stick to it. This week at church, we’re getting to the bottom of why we do the things we do. And we’re learning practical ways to make choices that honor God. bible.com/events/49024380 ==================================== About Life.Church Life.Church is a global church with a huge vision to reach people who don’t know Christ.

You do what you do because of what you think of you. Proverbs 23:7 NKJV For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. ... • What type of person am I? • What kind of situation is this? • What does someone like me do in a situation like this? If you want to change what you do, change what you think of you. John 8:44-45 NLT “... [The devil] has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!” Your distorted identity starts to sabotage your success. • Your distorted identity creates destructive habits. • Your destructive habits reinforce your distorted identity. • A Christ-centered identity leads to Christ-honoring habits. • Christ-honoring habits reinforce a Christ-centered identity.

No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” -James Clear Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT 21 Since you have heard about Jesus and have learned the truth that comes from him, 22 throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. 23 Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. 24 Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy. bible.com/bible/116/eph.4.21-24.NLT [Image] You do what you do because of what you think of you. #lifechurch www.life.church/powertochange imageproxy.youversionapi.com/640x640/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/mushroom-event-images-prod/46453-1675374900915.jpg Talk It Over Don’t just listen to the message.

Hi Titus Classic Artwork, You can see the notes if you go to live.life.church/ there you should notice a feed, notes, Bible, schedule. The notes should be available there at least for the current weeks message. I hope this is helpful. Rachelle
Thank God for this message. I’ve always struggled with body image issues and constantly call myself fat, ugly, useless etc but this week was particularly bad. Thank you for reminding me that these are lies by the devil. I am not any of those things. I am the daughter of Christ. Please pray for me 🙏🏼
This message was right on time! I was just asking myself this question. Why do I keep repeating the same bad habits? Thank you Pastor Craig for this eye opening sermon! Amen!
I love this message series Pastor Craig. "If you want to change what you do, change the way you think of you." This message reinforces why the inner journey to my heart has been transformational. You always deliver the right message at the right time for me. I am grateful to you.

Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God-truly righteous and holy." Ephesians 4:21-24 NLT📖 - Laura
Amen, Pastor Craig!! Every day, we read God's Word and pray and let the Holy Spirit renew our thoughts and attitudes, we will start to believe all that matters is who I am in Christ. I am a daughter/son of the Most High God! You start to show Christ centering habits. Who we are in Christ will set us free from the world. Submit yourselves to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. James 4:7 🙏
The first thing God wants us to do is to accept His offer of salvation. We are hopeless in our sin and cannot be good enough to overcome our sin and enter His presence. That’s why Jesus came into the world to take the punishment we deserve
Pastor Craig - I am so grateful for you and your messages that continue to help me stay true to my purpose from God. This message is so critical. Thank you so much.
I jus got out of the hospital and not even a hour of being discharged I got arrested and I hit rock bottom, I’m a 20 year old struggling with addiction and lying and dying from kidney failure , I give my life to god and I’m tired of feeling the way I do I want to be happy again and feel free

I am so amazed at how honest you are. This really helped me so much to realise how the devil says things to us and not just us but pastors, too. I can now easily identify it as a lie and not feel I am the only one who goes through these thoughts. Thank you
Thank you for your message Pastor Craig. For years, I've believed the lies of the devil. Now my eyes have been opened by the word you preached. God bless you.
God, you're so so good, you patient and you never force yourself on us, your grace saved me and its sustained me. AND YOU HAVE AKWAYS GIVEN ME WHAT YOU KNEW WHAT I NEEDED! I GIVE YOU PRAISE! MY LIFE IS YOURS and WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO LIFE! HALLELUJAH! 😀👏✝️👊
Everyday the devil attacks me with severe headaches and I just want to fold and lay down but that would letting my God and heavenly father down and I just can't let that happen!!! I needed this today. I'm not feeling great physically but my will is stronger than it was. Thank you and God bless you all. Love you all! #stayprayerful
A primary would be the generational curse of the spirit of poverty. We can continue to allow this spirit to creep in if we open ourselves up to it and are ether unaware that it's there, or have not received deliverance for it.
Please pray that our Lord Jesus Christ cures my insomnia. When I'm tired I can't take the enemies lies captive and I always have racing thoughts. It has a ripple effect that leads to anxiety and depression and more neg thinking. I'm tired of being tired and I don't know how much more I can take. My body, my mind, and my soul is exhausted. I believe Jesus is the healer of all healers and I need my brothers and sisters in Christ to intercede for me. Thanks..
Lord, Please heal and strengthen Lynn with her insomnia. Help her to give You all her doubts, anxious thoughts and just the fatigue of all the negativity. Let Your Spirit surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding in Jesus' name Amen. - Laura
@@floatpvnk Praying God heals what keeps you up at night and what prevents you from falling back to sleep in the am. May our Lord continue to give you strength and fight for you. May the Lord give you rest when you need it... In Jesus' name..Amen
Saying it out loud is a great start … writing it out is another reinforcement! And then repeat it to yourself several times each day …. Keeps you going until you can leave it behind. God bless you 🙏
O Lord Jesus Christ, you became poor for our sake, that we might be made rich through your poverty: Guide and sanctify, we pray, those whom you call to follow you under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, that by their prayer and service they may enrich your Church, and by their life and worship may glorify your Name; for you reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

If someone cuts you off always get their tag # & call the police especially if they’re ol bobbing and weaving through traffic. A welfare check could be annoying but could save a life as well.
I never hit the snooze, most times I order a healthy meal, and give to the church most of the times. But at least I'm honest. I'm not a hipocrite. What now?
I am trying to back them out but when you are not around the people who are trying to know the truth about God and the love he gives for for us all and don't believe that God work is important
I was also muslim. My family also did not want to accept me but now they have accepted me following Jesus. You are a child of a living God, he will never leave you nor forsake you
The situation I’m in, just got broken up with lost confused not sure where to go What do most people in my situation do? Most people would go and find a rebound and go out and party for revenge. What I’m doing praying, reading my Bible for guidance specifically Matthew, and watching life church daily, and going to the gym, I may feel lonely but nothing can beat the knowledge of Jesus especially when your at your worst
Please pray for reconciliation with my Son and his wife and us for my Husband's job and that our vehicles will be extra reliable and for our finances and for my depression and anxiety and for our unsaved loved ones before the rapture or before they die
Father, we humbly ask for reconciliation between this guest, their son, and his wife. May your healing touch mend any brokenness in their relationships. Please bless her husband's job with stability and abundance, and grant reliability to their vehicles. Provide comfort and peace for their finances, and alleviate her depression and anxiety. Guide their unsaved loved ones toward faith and understanding. In Jesus' name amen! -Kat
How do I explain to my son, the difference about Science in God? Trevor listened to his Girl fiend? I don't think she is at all meant to be with my son. Before she came into his life he was all Christian! Would witness to others. It made me so sad. And I pray all day and night. I want my Son with me in Heaven. She got him to quit College . His dream is to be an. Astrophysicist.

Part of me thinks that my life would be better if people didn't have destructive habits because they have hurt me with them, so I'm so disgusted by my own destructive habits because who knows how many people Ive hurt with them. Its like an inescapable maze.
I have that same theology pastor Craig. Just yesterday, I had a half of a strawberry and dark chocolate kit Kat bar. Than I told myself an hour later, we can't keep that other half out,it'll melt. So I ate the other half. Lol
