Hello, and welcome to The Fellowship Chronicles podcast! Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that affects all of us: the lies we’ve been told about who we are and what we’re capable of. The title of this episode says it all: Don’t Believe the Lies. There’s a lot of manufactured turmoil out there right now, so it’s more important now than ever to break through the illusions and reconnect with the truth of who you are.
The First Lie
The first lie I want to address is one that has held humanity captive for far too long: the belief that you are a sinner and not worthy of God.
But here’s the truth: you are made in the image and likeness of God—the I AM that I AM, the name God revealed as his name to Moses. You, as a son or daughter of God, can say “I AM,” because you are His son or daughter. You are a divine creation with infinite potential. Jesus himself reminded us of this when he said, “The kingdom of heaven is within you.”
Think about that. The kingdom of heaven—the ultimate source of love, wisdom, and power—is within you, and it doesn’t stop there. Jesus also said, “Greater works than these shall you do.” He wasn’t limiting your potential. He was calling you to step into it.
So don’t believe the lie that you’re unworthy or incapable. The truth is, you’re a divine being here to create, to love, and to manifest God’s light in this world.
The Second Lie
The second lie is just as insidious: the belief that you are a victim.
Yes, life throws challenges our way, and sometimes the world can feel chaotic, even oppressive. But no matter what appears to be happening in your individual life or in the political world, or the world anywhere, you are not powerless. You are the creator and arbiter of your own life.
This doesn’t mean you control everything outside of you, but it does mean you have the power to choose your thoughts, your actions, and your responses. The world isn’t something happening to you—it’s something you’re co-creating every day.
Don’t Believe Everything on the Internet or News Media
Here’s another thing: don’t believe everything you see on the Internet or hear from the so-called experts in the news media. The narrative out there often thrives on fear, division, and confusion—even outright lies. And there are usually underlying reasons for these lies.
You Have a Gift
But you have a gift—your God-given intelligence and common sense. Use them. Investigate. Question. Do your own research. Pray. Meditate. Openly look at both sides of an issue or a perspective different to your own. Come to your own conclusions but don’t close off relationships over political differences or be traumatized over events beyond your control.
The truth is within you. Trust it. Trust yourself.
As we close, I want to remind you: you are a divine being with incredible power and potential. Don’t let the lies of this world define you—you are not a victim. Instead, hold fast to the truth that God has placed within your heart.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed this message. Pass it on to someone who might benefit also.
Until next time, remember: you are loved, you are powerful, and you are the light of the world.
Take care, and God bless.
