Beth Moore

I have been attending a Beth Moore Bible Study: "Breaking Free" on Tuesday mornings. If you've never attended a Beth Moore Study, you are missing out! This is my second study with Beth. I love it. I learn so much. Today I learned something that really hit home. I just had to share it here.

Environment + Experiences = TRUTH

I knew this. You probably did too. What kind of life we have lived helps define truth for us. In other words, if you have lived a life filled with abuse or neglect, it has effected your life. If you have lived a life with love and happiness, it has effected your truth as well.

Truth + ZERO = INCOMPLETE

Taking/Accepting this truth is the first step. But if you choose to just take the truth and not add anything to it, nothing will change. For example, if you are an alcoholic but not take steps to do something about it, you will always be in bondage.

Truth + Satan's lies = CAPTIVITY

If you add to your truth, Satan's lies, you are truly in captivity. For example, if your truth is that you were abandoned and you add Satan's lie that "you can't trust anyone", you will be in bondage and captivity. If you take a past abortion and add to it that you don't deserve a child, you are in captivity. If you get a bad diangosis, that is your truth! But if you add Satan's lie to that diagnosis. "It is hopeless. You will die. Etc." Then that is when you are in captivity.

But God's truth is more powerful to free you then your truth is in keeping you in bondage. Your weakness cannot trump God's strength! You must experience:

TRUTH + GOD'S TRUTH = LIBERTY!

Add God's truth to your life, whatever your life and YOUR truth is, and you can have liberty! Powerful stuff. I love this study. I love the fellowship with other gals. It's great!
