Uprooting the Lies We Live By

November 12, 2025

What’s really leaking out of you?

Our lives leak truth that runs deeper than our words.

God sees how we live, the choices we make, the habits we form, the reactions we have, and the rhythms we fall into. All of it reveals what we truly believe about who He is and who we are. Nothing is hidden from Him.

In His kindness, God reveals the places where our thoughts about Him are not quite right. Even if you have walked with Jesus for decades, there may still be things He wants to show you that lead to deeper freedom.

Two questions for you:

  1. Do you really want to know?
  2. Will you trust Him with it?

If your answer is yes, you need to get quiet and still, because without space to listen, you will keep living the same lie.

For me, God has been showing me a hidden misunderstanding about grace. I have always taught that grace is unearned, undeserved, and freely given, and that is true. But deep down, I believed grace had a limit, that I had to somehow pay it back. That fear whispered, “What if I cannot produce enough? What if the grace runs out?

That is not truth. That is fear.

While I would never teach that kind of theology, I realized I had been living like it was true. But my Father is a good gardener. If He has put His shovel to this root, I can trust He will pull it out completely.

What about you?

Are there beliefs leaking out of your life that you do not even know you carry?

Get quiet, and let Him show you.
