2 Corinthians 10:4 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” Our battlefield is our mind. Self-talk lies are ways that we try to convince ourselves that what we are doing is justifiable ~ fulfilling a perceived need. 

Let me set this before you to think about. Our destructive mindsets are very strategically and cunningly crafted traps of the enemy of our soul. They usurp God’s design for our hearts. Psalm 119:11 says, “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.”

Proverbs 21:22 Amplified says, “A wise man scales the city walls of the mighty and brings down the stronghold in which they trust.” We fall back into our emotional ruts because they feel safe and familiar. They are lies ~ self-talk lies!

I love David’s words about the Lord. Psalm 18:3 says, “The Lord is…my stronghold.”
