How do I move the Truth from my head to my heart?
Three steps to move the Truth from head to heart!
Many women grew up in church. Sat in pews. Heard Truth. Read Truth. Jumped into activities, served, but none of these things have changed their lives.
What’s missing?
Thirty-five-year-old Jackie was one of those women. She needed an answer, stat. She clocked seventy hours a week in work and was on the fast track to having a breakdown.
Jackie and her husband owned their own business. They knew how to work and had three daughters. Jackie’s job as a manager of three hundred dairy animals was consuming her. Gifted in the area of discernment, Jackie knew how to troubleshoot issues, yet this skill created large doses of anxiety. She yearned to let go and transition from manager of cows to mother and teacher.
- Awareness is step one. My life is not working my way.
- Then recognize the area you keep getting stuck in. Jackie was way too busy and anxious in her work load.
- It’s applying the Truth to your life!
Jackie shifted from knowing a verse to “practicing these things.”
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:9 NASB)
When a calf died, Jackie chose to surrender the anxiety and repeatedly stated aloud, “Be anxious for nothing, be anxious for nothing …” (Philippians 4:6).
When she left work unfinished she told herself, “God is for me, God is for me … (Romans 8:31), instead of, “I failed, because I didn’t finish my to-do list.”
Two years later, a balanced less-stressed Jackie can state, “Trust in the Lord with all of my heart …” (Proverbs 3:5), as the cows are sold so she and her husband can change careers.
Deposit the Word into your heart by speaking and practicing the Truth and the God of peace will be with you.
“The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things” (Philippians 4:9a).
How do I get the truth from my head to my heart?
- Awareness is step one.
- Discover the area you need the most help in, first. Coaching brings clarity in this area.
- Then speak the Truth and Practice the Truth.
What area do you need to sow the seed of Truth into your life?
