We become what we project … because whatever is in our heart will boomerang back to us – good or bad. Jesus took this teaching to a deeper level – costing Him many disciples (John 6:66).
John 6 (ESV) — 48 I am the bread of life. … 52 The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. … 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.
So, practically speaking, how does this work? First, we eat His Body by daily reading His word (the bread of life). Second, through continuous confession, we drink His blood (allowing Him to drink the cup of our judgment). Third, we monitor everything we eat after that (by taking every thought captive, 2 Cor.10:5).
Friend, would you consider replacing toxic lies with God’s truth? For instance: If the toxic lie is “I cannot give up this sin” – replace it with: “We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him” (1 John 5:18 ESV).
