Lie-Locked Living Begins in the Mind

Many Christian women walk through life weighed down by invisible burdens — assumptions, wounds, memories, and voices from the past that whisper, “You are not enough,” “You will always be stuck,” or “You will never change.” These lies become so familiar that we begin to operate as though they are truth.

But here is the good news: You were not created to live in a lie-locked existence. You were created to live truth-liberated.

The first step in the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework is to Target the Lie — a process of spiritual awakening and mental awareness. Before you can replace, align, or activate truth, you must become aware of what is shaping your thoughts and behavior.

Target the Lies

To target means to pinpoint, to aim directly at something, to bring it into focus. This first step is not about judgment — it is about clarity. To be transformed by the renewing of your mind, you must identify what needs to be renewed.

Ask yourself:

• What lie am I believing about myself, my worth, my calling, or God?

• Where did this belief originate?

• What fruit is this belief producing in my life?

The Holy Spirit is your guide in this process. As you invite Him to search your heart and reveal truth, He will expose the lies that are keeping you stuck — not to shame you, but to free you.

Case Study: “The Hidden Lie Behind Her Hustle”

Rebecca was a high-achieving Christian woman, admired for her work ethic and her ability to juggle family, ministry, and a growing business. But she often felt exhausted, overextended, and emotionally empty.

Through coaching, we discovered a core lie at work: “My value comes from what I do.”

This belief was planted in childhood, when praise only followed performance. Rebecca had unknowingly carried this lie into adulthood, where it now drove her to overcommit, avoid rest, and silently resent those who expected so much from her.

Once the lie was targeted, she could begin to renew her mind with God’s truth: “My value comes from who I am in Christ, not what I accomplish.”

Why Awareness Matters

Awareness is the beginning of a breakthrough. You cannot fight what you do not see. Many Christian women try to change habits, mindsets, or emotions without realizing there is a root lie driving them.

Here are a few common examples:

• Lie: “I will never be good enough.”
  Fruit: Perfectionism, fear of failure, people-pleasing

• Lie: “God helps others more than He helps me.”
  Fruit: Prayerlessness, jealousy, spiritual fatigue

• Lie: “I must stay small to be accepted.”
  Fruit: Insecurity, silence, self-sabotage

When you target the lie, you expose the root — and only then can God’s truth begin to heal it.

Practice Awareness with the Holy Spirit

Here are five ways to Target the Lie and walk in greater spiritual awareness:

1. Get Still 

Start each day by asking the Holy Spirit to reveal any lies you are believing. Journaling and prayer are powerful tools for this step.

2. Notice Fruit

Pay attention to recurring emotions, reactions, or struggles. They often stem from a belief system you have not questioned.

3. Ask Questions

Instead of, “Why am I like this?” ask, “What lie might be shaping this response?” or “What truth do I need to know here?”

4. Use Scripture

The Word of God exposes falsehood and aligns you with eternal truth. Let it examine your thoughts (Hebrews 4:12).

5. Get Support

Sometimes the lies are so deeply embedded that you need a trusted coach, mentor, or friend to help you see clearly and walk in freedom.

Truth Declaration 

🕊️ "I am not what the lie says I am. I am who God says I am. The truth of His Word reveals the thoughts that no longer serve me. I walk in clarity, not confusion, and I boldly confront every false belief through the power of the Holy Spirit."

You Cannot Change What You Will Not Name

Transformation begins with awareness. As you learn to Target the Lie, you will become a woman who sees clearly, thinks biblically, and walks boldly in the truth of your identity.

This is only the beginning of your journey into the TRUTH Mindset™ Framework. Up next, we will explore how to Replace the Lie with Scripture — anchoring your mind in God’s Word so it becomes your unshakable foundation.

🕊️ You were never meant to live lie-locked. It is time to take your thoughts captive and step into the freedom Jesus already secured for you.
