what do we believe about ourselves?

it has been proven that if people believe something about themselves strongly enough, they will actually begin to behave the way they perceive themselves to be. if parents, teachers, or other authority figures say to you over and over in your youth that you were no good, that there was something wrong with you. that you could not do anything right, that you were worthless, and would never amount to anything, you may actually believe it. it's such a shame. but, many have had this experience and many go through life believing that they are worthless, and have no real reason to be alive, or have nothing positive to give back to society. What's also so sad is that many are Christians and deal with this daily. satan reinforces this message by repeating in the mind time and time again until it becomes such a part of a persons self image that they actually become on the outside the way they envision themselves on the inside. however, our mind can be renewed by the Word of God. when i went through my lowest and deepest and darkest abyss i had to begin a time of listening to, and reading the Word of God over and over, this started a process of healing and also the ultimate goal of the renewing of my mind. none of this happens over night, actually i still need to do this i strive to make it a daily practice. i believe my mind needs to be renewed every single day. with all of the lies that satan will try to feed me, and in my human weakness some of the lies seap into my mind, using the Word of God as a means of fighting back is the answer, and in my life i have seen it work. does it mean that i don't get down, become frustrated? if you've read my blog long enough you will find that nothing could be further from the truth. each day that God gives me is a day that i must armour up and fight satan with the Word of God,with prayer, with speaking the truths from  the inspired book upon which i must stand, i cannot do it alone, i need God, and with Him as my guide, nothing is impossible.
