Silence Every Voice
How many voices are in your head? I’m being serious, how many? We all have them. Some of us have a few and others have way too many. I spent a lot of time sorting through voices so that I could learn which ones were telling the truth, and what others were feeding me lies. Some people are aware of them and other people are walking through days on autopilot. All I know is I wish I would have known that it was normal to have voices in my head as well as how to discern which were from the divine, and which were of this world.
So you think I’m crazy talking about the voices? Welcome to the club pal. I invite you to read through this and when we get to the end you can let me know if you still think I’m loco. I promise you I’m not as crazy as I sound. I’ll use my own head as an example then you tell me if you can relate. We all have a story that we identify with. If you met me before I began my healing journey, I would have told you something about how my family never loved me and I was a mistake. I would have said that I wasn’t very attractive and I failed at a lot of things I tried to do in life. All of those things were truly what I thought about myself but who’s voices were telling me that. I didn’t come born into this world believing I didn’t matter. My negative thought patterns were rooted in my attachment to things I had heard other people say about me. Words hold power and what you believe about yourself, is what you become. Once I recognized this truth I was able to sort through voices. I would think something and observe the thought. I would think, “I am not good enough”, and then I would ask myself if that thought came from a projection of someone else’s opinion, or if it was true. Clearly I was created for a purpose so to think I am not good enough is crazy in the eyes of our Creator. That wasn’t a voice of truth and I began to use the authority that I have (you have it too) in the Spirit to eliminate self deprecating thoughts. It starts in your thoughts and then it’s spoken into existence. It’s much easier to maintain positive speech when you take authority over your thoughts.
It isn’t an easy thing, to retrain your subconscious. It doesn’t happen overnight. It requires detachment. It requires patience. It requires self love and compassion and it requires you to be fully authentic and honest with yourself about where you’re at. You have to start where you are and be willing to recreate yourself from a space of unconditional love which means being okay with letting go of the people who’s voices are constantly dragging you through hell. You have to love yourself enough to see things through a new set of eyes. When I first started I would repeat, “I silence any voice in my head that isn’t the Father, the Son or the Holy Spirit.” every time my head would get too loud. I would repeat it over and over until the thought passed. Sometimes I would be sobbing and saying this over and over. It wasn’t pretty but it was worth it. You’re not in this alone, God is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Use them. They love you are are here to help you build a fortress in your mind so that you can hear God’s voice and get in His presence.
So now what do you say? Do you have voices in your head? Whose are they and what damage are they doing to your life by keeping you from the truth of who you are? Don’t forget that we are all here for a purpose and there is not a human being in this world that can keep you from it. You have authority and Jesus is the blueprint. Don’t let the weight of words spoken from worldly voices bury the truth that is being spoken over your life by the divine. One by one reject the lies and forgive yourself for clouding your brain in the first place. You didn’t know but now you do so allow your spirit to be made clean. Fall into the love of our Creator and trust what He says about you. You are whatever you think you are. Protect your thoughts.
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
