Below are the truths God has spoken to my heart as I have practiced exchanging ungodly beliefs for godly beliefs.

Over a year and a half ago, I learned about the concept of ungodly beliefs as part of becoming an Issue-Focused minister in Restoring the Foundations (RTF). Being a RTF minister means I help individuals experience inner healing and freedom by applying the truth of God’s word to their lives. Part of this ministry is dealing with ungodly beliefs.

RTF defines ungodly beliefs as anything not in agreement with God’s word, nature or character. We accumulate these beliefs from hurtful experiences, family, friends or even culture. However, God wants us to live in and from the truth of his word! Therefore, I am sharing the truths God spoke to my heart from the sessions where I received ministry.

I organized them in chronological order to demonstrate that we receive freedom in Christ little-by-little. Some of our issues will come up again and again but we are not to be discouraged. As we commit to the process of renewing our minds and walking out our freedom, change does come!

Root of Ungodly Belief	Godly Belief
Fear	Fear has no authority in my life.
Unworthiness	I’m worthy of receiving God’s best as His daughter.
Mistrust	I can trust in the Lord.
Fear	I’m free to live free. God isn’t holding my sins against me.
Insecurity	The Lord is my rescue, my Help. I need not be afraid.
Lack of Protection	The Lord is my rampart and shield.
Rejection	God is a safe place, He will never reject me if I express my anger.
Not wanted	He always cares about me.
Anxiety	I am only overwhelmed in the presence of God.
Unworthiness	You’re valuable because you’re mine “declared by God”.
Self-rejection	I love all parts of myself and I am exquiste.
Fear	I am safe in the Lord.
Rejection	I will always be different and that’s ok.
Anxiety	God is my strength no matter what happens.
Legalism	I don’t live by rule, I live by relationship.
Unbelief	Hard isn’t impossible.
Deception	God made every crooked place straight. (notice the wording is PAST TENSE)
Overindulgence	I am only drunk by the Spirit and presence of God.
Mistrust	God is faithful, I will not fear.
Escape/Avoidance	The Lord is my place of comfort.
Performance	I can rest in my identity in Christ
Deception	Real relationship is lived in the light of God’s love.
Abandonment	God will never let me run out on me.
Neglect	God cares about my feelings, even hurt-filled ones.
Fear	With God, I’ll never miss a thing. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Abandonment	I have realistic expectations of men and I will keep my focus on the Lord.
Rejection	God knows me and will send me men who know and appreciate me for who I am.
Unworthiness	I am worthy of a happy, healthy romantic relationship with my future husband.
Rejection	I am set apart but never alone.
Perfectionism	I am thankful that I am a work in progress.
Identity	I outwardly reflect my security as a woman.

When you come across a thought that is not in agreement with God’s word, nature or character ask yourself “what would God want me to believe about myself?” “What is the truth?” and then wait for the Lord to speak. Listen for the truth that comes to mind and start forming it into a sentence you can remember and start to mediate on.

Don’t let this new truth escape you. Keep meditating and speaking your new godly beliefs over yourself. Cultivate godly beliefs in your heart. For as a person thinks in their heart so shall they be (Proverbs 23:7).

Love always,
