KEYS TO FREEDOM
Appendix B
Faulty Beliefs and Freedom Facts If you find yourself wrestling with any of the following faulty beliefs, look at the corresponding truth of Scripture and apply the principles from Key 2: Renewing the Mind to vocalize the “Freedom Facts.” Faulty Belief: I am alone, and no one really cares how I feel or what I do. Truth of Scripture: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Pet. 5:7). “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deut. 31:8). Freedom Fact: God is always with me. He sees how I feel, and He comforts me. Faulty Belief: I’m not worth much. I don’t deserve anything good. Truth of Scripture: “Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay” (1 Pet. 1:3–4, NLT). “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ” (Eph. 1:3, NLT). Freedom Fact: I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing. Because I am a child of God, I have an eternal inheritance in heaven. Faulty Belief: My looks don’t measure up to what the world says is attractive. I am ugly. Truth of Scripture: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Ps. 139:13–14). “He has made everything beautiful in its time” (Eccles. 3:11). “God created human beings in his own image” (Gen. 1:27, NLT). Freedom Fact: All of God’s works are great and wonderful, and that includes me! I am created in the image of God Himself, and He has created me beautifully. Faulty Belief: Because I have lived a lie, I am unable to speak truth. Truth of Scripture: “When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come” (John 16:13). “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). Freedom Fact: I can speak truth because the Spirit of God leads me. There is freedom in living an honest life.
