Study Notes

Negative Thoughts and the Enemy

Negative thoughts like "I messed up...", "I'm not good at...", and "I'll never..." are not from God.
These thoughts are lies planted by Satan.
Satan is called the "father of lies" (John 8:44).
These lies sound like personal thoughts by using "I" statements.

Spiritual Armor Against Lies

God provides spiritual armor to protect against the enemy's lies.
God's righteousness is like a breastplate, shielding from doubt.
When wearing this armor, the enemy sees you in Christ, not as your flawed self.
This means the enemy's attacks are lessened.

Overcoming Doubt

When uncertain thoughts arise (e.g., before trying something new), remember your identity in Christ.
Repeat affirmations like "The Lord is my protector... My heavenly Father loves me... I can enjoy all the good things He has for me!"
You are not alone; Jesus is with you always.
