Toxic spirals don\u2019t just need to be stopped, which self-help may partially accomplish through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/affirmation-and-visualization-7-habits\/\">affirmations<\/a> and such things; they need to be <em>divinely redeemed<\/em>, which requires Christian faith and your disciplined cooperation with the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-life-purpose\/\">Your purpose<\/a> as a Christian isn\u2019t to think more good thoughts about yourself but to think less about yourself and more about God and others<\/strong> (Matthew 6:33, Matthew 22:37-39).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth opposing the lie of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-self-esteem-and-why-is-it-important\/\">self-esteem is<\/a> that real and lasting joy only comes from choosing God and other people over yourself. <\/strong>God didn\u2019t create you to be the center of your own world. What\u2019s important isn\u2019t for you to be empowered but for you to rest in his power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key scripture supporting this truth is Paul\u2019s exhortation in Philippians 2 for us to share Christ\u2019s attitude in our interpersonal relationships. Just as Jesus humbled himself as a servant of everyone and became the ultimate example of humility by willingly suffering crucifixion for our sins, so we should humble ourselves and devote our lives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/living-a-life-of-service\/\">serving others<\/a>. The instructions in 1 Peter 2:21 for us to take Christ\u2019s suffering and service as our example, and to follow in Christ\u2019s steps, reinforce the same point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth that overturns the lie of complacency is that God has saved you and set you free not to indulge yourself but to serve others, to elevate them over yourself and seek their good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A key scripture supporting this truth is Paul\u2019s exhortation in Galatians 5: \u201cYou, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.\u201d&nbsp;<\/li><li>Another is Paul\u2019s exhortation in Philippians 2 to \u201cdo nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others. Have this mind among yourself, which is yours in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The way to defeat your enemy of complacency and its lie of self-indulgence is to choose others over yourself, to seek their good over your own comfort. <\/strong>See Jesus\u2019s words: \u201cWhoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me\u201d (Luke 9:23).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two primary ways to implement this strategy, one spiritual, the other practical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The primary spiritual way you implement this strategy is to follow Paul\u2019s exhortation in Colossians 3:2 to \u201cset your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.\u201d<\/strong> Go \u201call in\u201d with God. Then you\u2019ll be able to see life on earth correctly as your focus on eternal realities conforms your heart-mind to the truth that you\u2019ve been \u201ccrucified with Christ\u201d (Galatians 2:20) and now live this bodily life entirely through faith in Jesus, for the purpose of serving other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lessons From Jesus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jesus himself illustrates the victory in each battle. The same Holy Spirit that empowered him empowers you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Because Jesus sought solitude away from the crowds with his Father, you, too, can choose stillness with God over distraction.<\/li><li>Because Jesus chose to live in community with others, you can do this, too.<\/li><li>Because Jesus trusted his Father, even to the point of death, you, too, can let go of fear and trust God.<\/li><li>Because Jesus knew all about the world\u2019s brokenness and sin but never became a cynic, you, too, can reject cynicism and delight in God\u2019s goodness.<\/li><li>Because Jesus emptied himself and became a servant, you, too, can choose humility.<\/li><li>Because Jesus conquered sin and death and made us \u201cmore than conquerors,\u201d you can choose gratitude over victimhood.<\/li><li>Because Jesus didn\u2019t abandon us but gave us the Holy Spirit, you can reject complacency and embrace intentional service.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember at all times who God really is, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-your-true-self\/\">who you really are<\/a> if you love and follow Jesus, and the stupendous implications of both<\/strong>. Learn to draw on these truths, especially when you\u2019re upset or destabilized. Pick from the plethora of biblical thoughts about who God is and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-genius\/\">who you are<\/a> in him. Use the techniques and tools in this book to reprogram your mind with these thoughts. For example:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Revelation 22:13: I am the beginning and the end. I am the first, and I am the last.<\/li><li>1 John 1:5: I am light; in me there is no darkness at all.<\/li><li>Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.<\/li><li>1 Corinthians 3:16: Do you not know that you are God\u2019s temple, and that God\u2019s Spirit dwells in you?<\/li><li><strong>Bear in mind at all times the \u201csecret weapon\u201d of Christ\u2019s pre-existing victory that you learned about in Part 2.<\/strong> Fight each battle, and wage the whole war, from the confident knowledge of this.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power of Thought<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every great and awful act in history and in our lives starts with a thought.<\/strong> A single thought that honors God can change the course of history and eternity. A single uninterrupted lie in your mind can produce inconceivable havoc in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Negative biblical examples of this truth in action include Eve\u2019s sin in the garden (which began with Satan\u2019s implanted thought that the fruit was good and beneficial) and David\u2019s sin with Bathsheba (which began with lustful thoughts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positive biblical examples include Mary\u2019s submission to God\u2019s plan for using her to bring his Son into the world (her submission began with thoughts of obedience and faith) and Jesus\u2019s choice to go to the cross (which was centered in his thought, \u201cNot my will, Father, but yours\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because thoughts are so powerful, it\u2019s important to learn how to become aware of your most commonly recurring toxic thought, to recognize that thought as the enemy\u2019s attempt to imprison you and shut you off from God and other people, and to replace and reprogram that thought with God\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also crucially, <strong>this ability to use the interrupting thought is ultimately for <\/strong><strong><em>Christians<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> As a Christian you have God\u2019s power to choose your thoughts, focus, and purpose. You\u2019re not a slave to sin. Consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>God gives you, as a Christian, everything you need for a victorious life (see 1 Peter 1:3).<\/li><li>In Philippians, Paul observed that because God has recreated us in Christ, we have the Holy Spirit\u2019s power and the ability (and responsibility) to choose whether to live for the Spirit or for \u201cthe flesh\u201d (our old, fallen self-nature with its sinful desire). The ability to change our heart-minds is built into us as Christians.<\/li><li>When he wrote his letter to the Philippians, Paul was practicing what he preached. He was imprisoned under house arrest, yet he chose to have the awesome love and reality of the risen Christ, instead of negativity, dominate his mind.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Time Alone With God<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find scriptural support for both the importance of stillness and your ability to practice it in various passages, including James 4:8 (\u201cDraw near to God\u2026\u201d), Galatians 5 (flesh vs. spirit), Psalm 46:10 (\u201cBe still and know that I am God\u201d), Psalm 8:10 (\u201cBetter one day in your courts\u2026\u201d), and Matthew 11:30 (\u201cCome to me&#8230;and I will give you rest\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way you can consistently bear Paul\u2019s \u201cfruit of the spirit\u201d (joy, kindness, peace, patience, self-control, and so on) instead of manifesting it only intermittently because of toxic thought spirals is to consistently \u201cwalk in the Spirit\u201d (Galatians 5:25). And the only way you can do this is by embracing and practicing stillness with God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Importance of Community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth that explodes the lie of shame is that God made you not to go it alone but to be seen, known, and loved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key scripture highlighting this truth is 1 John 1:7: \u201cIf we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole Bible supports the irreducible need for human community. It assumes that those who follow God will live in community with other God followers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also find vivid descriptions of ways to achieve real community in Philippians 2 and Colossians 3. According to Paul in those books, creating real human community may look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Showing brotherly affection<\/li><li>Trying to \u201coutdo each other\u201d in showing honor<\/li><li>Living in harmony with others<\/li><li>Comforting others and seeking peaceful interactions<\/li><li>Denying your own sinful desires and serving others<\/li><li>Being kind and forgiving<\/li><li>Being grateful<\/li><li>Worshiping God together<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the Holy Spirit\u2019s help, <strong>you require two additional things for successfully reaching out to others for community: awareness of what you need and the courage to seek it out.<\/strong> Here\u2019s some specific advice for these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find and connect with healthy people. <\/strong>Look for emotionally healthy people, those whose lives show they\u2019re truly following Jesus. See Paul\u2019s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to \u201cfollow my example, as I follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/follow-the-example-of-jesus\/\">example of Christ<\/a>.\u201d Look for people who show authenticity, openness, peace, and a willingness to share, listen, and grow. Remember that you\u2019re called to cultivate this kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/emotional-health-and-well-being\/\">emotional health<\/a> in yourself, too, and to share it with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trust in God&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth that explodes the lie of fear is that God controls every day of your life. <\/strong>Jesus tells us that \u201cthe very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don\u2019t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows\u201d (Luke 12:7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>God always gives you what you need, when you need it. <\/strong>You can see this in Jesus\u2019s parable of the flowers: \u201cConsider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!\u201d (Luke 12:27-28).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The way you defeat your enemy of fear and its lie that you can\u2019t trust God is by surrendering your fears to God. <\/strong>The core tool for defeating \u201cWhat ifs?\u201d is simply the answer \u201cBecause God.\u201d God trumps every fearful speculative \u201cwhat if.\u201d You literally don\u2019t have to worry. God provides for us (Matthew 6:25-34), loves us (Romans 5:5), and chooses us (Ephesians 3:16).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some specific strategies for surrendering your fears to God:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Follow Paul\u2019s detailed advice in Philippians 4:6-7. <\/strong>Refuse to be anxious. Instead, choose to be grateful. Pray to God throughout the day for what you need. Choose to focus your thoughts on what\u2019s true, noble, pure, and lovely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The truth that exposes and overturns the lie of cynicism is simply this: that you can trust God without reservation. He will work all things together for good in the end. <\/strong>A key scripture supporting this truth is Romans 8:28: \u201cWe know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Humility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Soak yourself in scripture passages about humility, service to others, and denying yourself. Consciously emulate Christ\u2019s servanthood.<\/strong> The following are some good examples to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Matthew 16:24: \u201cThen Jesus told his disciples, \u2018If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.\u2019\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ephesians 4:1-2: \u201cWalk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.\u201d<\/li><li>Philippians 2:5 (mentioned but not quoted above): \u201c<strong>In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus [who] emptied himself, by taking on the form of a servant.\u201d<\/strong><\/li><li>In Philippians 3, Paul explains how he came to \u201ccount everything as loss,\u201d even the things that would nominally seem to make for a good and happy life, \u201cbecause of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus as my Lord.\u201d He goes on to explain that his whole life has become devoted to the goal of knowing and exalting Christ, not himself.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Difficult Times<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Look for the unexpected gifts that difficult circumstances may bring.<\/strong> You may find that you and your loved ones grow the most in your faith <em>because<\/em> of hard times. Bank on Paul\u2019s description of some of these benefits in Romans 5: \u201cWe rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God\u2019s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above Get Out of Your Head bible study guide looks at Jennie Allen\u2019s key biblical insights from the book. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for a Get Out of Your Head bible study guide?
