Have you ever felt trapped in your own mind — stuck in fear, insecurity, shame, or doubt?
...especially around holidays?
You try to pray, serve, and trust God, but inside you keep hearing:
“I am not enough.”
“This will never change.”
“God is disappointed in me.”
Sister, this is what I call Lie-Locked Living — when false beliefs chain your heart and mind, even as you long for freedom.
But here’s the hope:
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)
We can take our thoughts captive by the Spirit and submit them to God’s truth — unlocking the freedom Jesus died to give us.
...Giving thanks to Him for that sacrifice.
This lie keeps countless Christian women bound.
But God says:
Truth Declaration:
“I am not a prisoner of my thoughts. By the power of the Spirit, I can take every thought captive and align it with God’s truth for my good.”
Lie-Locked Living happens when:
We let past wounds shape our identity.
We allow fear or comparison to define our worth.
We believe what the enemy says over what God declares.
But Truth Mindset™ living is different:
We recognize the lie.
We replace it with Scripture.
We renew our minds daily, even when it is hard.
Ask yourself:
What negative thought keeps cycling in my mind?
Where did this lie come from — past, culture, enemy?
Naming the lie weakens its hold.
Find a specific Scripture to declare over the lie.
For example:
Lie: “I will never change.”
Truth: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13, KJV)
Write it. Speak it. Pray it.
Taking thoughts captive is not a one-time event — it is a daily spiritual habit.
Invite the Holy Spirit:
“Lord, show me where I am believing lies. Help me submit every thought to Your truth.”
What lie has been holding me captive lately?
What truth from God’s Word can replace it?
How can I create a daily rhythm of renewing my mind?
