Breaking Agreements: Replacing the Enemy's Lies with God's Truth | Made to Pray

Breaking Agreements: Replacing the Enemy's Lies with God's Truth What if some of the things holding us back aren't circumstances we can see, but beliefs we've unknowingly come into agreement with? Sometimes a lie doesn't sound like a lie anymore. It sounds like our own voice. I always... I never... I can't... Over time, words spoken over us, past disappointments, fear, insecurity, or promises we've made to protect ourselves can quietly take root. And before we know it, we're living as though those thoughts are the truth. But friends, Jesus has already paid for our freedom! In this episode of Made to Pray, Karrilee and Lori continue the conversation about spiritual growth by exploring the power of agreement—and the importance of breaking agreements with things that don't align with God's Word. We talk about the weight of our words, the importance of renewing our minds, and how to invite the Holy Spirit to reveal the deeper roots of beliefs that may be keeping us from walking in greater freedom. And we share a practical, grace-filled approach to moving forward: Ask for discernment: Invite the Holy Spirit to highlight one or two root beliefs. Name it and release it: Recognize what you've believed and surrender what isn't true. Replace the lie with truth: Allow God's Word to reshape your thinking. Stand your ground with grace: Practice returning to truth when old thought patterns resurface. We also explore the beautiful picture of roots, weeds, seeds, and fruit—and what happens when we intentionally nourish the things God is planting in our lives. This isn't about becoming fearful of every thought or trying to earn freedom through perfect words or perfect faith. It's about learning to recognize His voice, trust His character, and walk more fully in the freedom Jesus has already purchased. And remember: The Father isn't standing far away, waiting for you to figure it all out. He's running toward you with a robe and a ring! 💜 FREE Companion Reflection & Journaling Guide We created a printable Scripture, reflection, and journaling guide to help you take this conversation a little deeper.
