There will be three sessions. Each session is about 45 minutes. Below is an outline of what we will cover during each session.
Session 1
Introduction: What is Beliefs Training?
- A belief’s trainer helps others intentionally target limiting beliefs and replace those beliefs with the truth based on the Word of God.
- We start by identifying any areas that are not “glistening with hope.” Areas we are lacking hope are an indicator as to whether or not we are believing lies.
- Our lives are a reflection of what we have stored up in our hearts, which is a result of our thought life.
- We can transform our lives by intentionally renewing our minds.
Let’s discover some areas you need hope for and the lies that are behind this lack.
- Are there areas right now in your life that you are having trouble seeing hope for?
- If so, what could be some lies that are stealing hope from you?
- What lie do you think are you believing in this area?
- Why do you think you are believing this?
- We will try to find the core lie that is fueling the narrative of this specific area.
Renewing Our Minds with the Truth
The solution for uprooting lies is to apply the truths of the Word of God. More than just knowing the truth, we have to believe the truth from the heart.
Replacing previous beliefs with truth is a process.
What is the truth to combat the lies you feel you are believing?
We will ask God to speak to you about the truth. You may hear something or see a picture or just know, but He will show you. He longs for you to be free.
Turn the Truth into a Declaration
- Making declarations is a great tool to change what we believe.
- Next, we will make the truth into declarations based on the Word of God.
- Powerful declarations are clear definitive statements rather than aspirational statements.
- It is important to be consistent with these declarations for them to take hold and replace what you previously believed.
- This is a very important step in the mind renewal process. It changes the channel from what the enemy has been broadcasting to the truth of God’s Word.
Concluding the Meeting
- As we are wrapping up, do you have any questions?
- I’m excited for what God has for you during this time. Keep going.
- I’ll email you with some instructions/links for our next meeting.
- End with prayer!
Session 2
The goals of the second session are to see how you are doing, find out what’s working and not working (the declarations themselves, their frequency, whether they are resonating with you, etc.) and help you tweak the training to be most effective.
Session 2 is taking the time to review what we previously covered and see what God is doing so we can give Him glory.
Before the second meeting, take some time to:
- Sit with the Lord and ask Him what areas He wants to highlight in your second session.
- See if there any areas that we didn’t cover in the first session that you think He wants to talk about in the second session?
- What are the declarations you made in your first session?
- Have you seen any other lies attached to the main lie or a core lie that is feeding it?
- How are the declarations working?
- Did you sense any breakthrough?
- What was hard or easy about making the truth declarations?
I encourage you to continue to write new declarations. Any time you become aware of a lie’s influence on you, immediately target that lie with declarations of truth.
I also encourage you to partner your faith with your declarations by attaching your emotion to the declarations as well as using body emphasis.
If time, we will explore other areas
- Are there any other areas you’d like to explore together? (We’ll use the techniques from session 1 to identify lies and truths with any remaining time you have).
Concluding the Meeting
- As we are wrapping up, do you have any questions for me?
- I’m excited for what God has for you during this process of renewing your mind. Keep going!
- End with prayer.
I affirm what God is doing in you, bringing you transformation by renewing your mind.
Session 3
The primary goal of the third session is to:
- Check on how your progress is going.
- Encourage a habit of making truth declarations.
- Get a strategy for ongoing success.
- This is also the session where we introduce the laughing-at-lies and importance of joy to break strongholds.
Opening
- How have you been doing with the process of renewing your mind?
- What breakthroughs have you seen in confronting lies you are focused on?
Discussion on Laughing at Lies
- Laughing at lies is a powerful too to help remove lies and strongholds in your life?
- Practice laughing at the lies together.
- It may feel awkward at first, but it can become natural as your practice.
- Say one lie you have been believing at a time and then we’ll at each of them.
Here are a couple of verses from the Bible supporting the idea of laughing at lies:
Psalms 2:4 (AMPC) – He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].
Psalms 37:12-15 (AMPC) – The wicked plot against the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright in right standing with God); they gnash at them with their teeth.
The Lord laughs at [the wicked], for He sees that their own day [of defeat] is coming.
The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who walk uprightly (blameless in conduct and in conversation).
The swords [of the wicked] shall enter their own hearts, and their bows shall be broken.
Conclude the Meeting
This is what I hear the Lord saying over you…
