Freedom Calls

As a child of the one True God, saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:8-9), your journey from stuck to unstoppable is rooted in His truth and power.

Below is a rewritten 7-step “mind reboot” to break free from the “Matrix” of worldly chains, with Connection to Purpose as the first step, infused with Scripture to support and encourage each step.

### 1. Connect to God’s Purpose for You  

**Purpose**: Align your heart with God’s calling for your life. Seek His will through prayer and His Word to discover why He created you.  

**Action**: Spend time in prayer and Scripture daily, asking, *Lord, what is Your purpose for me?* Reflect on your gifts and passions as clues to His plan.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”* (Ephesians 2:10, NIV)  

– *“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”* (Proverbs 3:5-6, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: God has a unique purpose for you. Surrender to Him, and He will guide your steps toward an unstoppable life in His service.

### 2. Awaken to God’s Truth  

**Purpose**: Become aware of the lies and chains the enemy uses to trap you. Let the Holy Spirit reveal thoughts or habits misaligned with God’s truth.  

**Action**: Pray for discernment and journal thoughts that weigh you down. Compare them to Scripture to see what’s from God and what’s not.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”* (John 8:32, NIV)  

– *“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”* (Psalm 139:23-24, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: God’s truth is your weapon against the enemy’s lies. Stay in His Word to see clearly and walk in freedom.

### 3. Challenge Satan’s Lies with God’s Word  

**Purpose**: Replace worldly lies with the promises of God. Every doubt or fear is an opportunity to stand firm in His truth.  

**Action**: For each limiting belief (e.g., “I’m not enough”), find a Scripture to counter it (e.g., “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” – Philippians 4:13). Speak it aloud daily.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”* (2 Corinthians 10:4, NIV)  

– *“I have hidden Your word in my heart that I might not sin against You.”* (Psalm 119:11, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: The enemy’s lies crumble before God’s Word. Arm yourself with Scripture, and watch strongholds fall.

### 4. Unplug from the World’s System  

**Purpose**: Break free from the world’s distractions and influences that pull you away from God’s peace and purpose.  

**Action**: Set boundaries with media, entertainment, or relationships that dilute your faith. Replace them with worship, prayer, or fellowship.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.”* (Romans 12:2, NIV)  

– *“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”* (Colossians 3:2, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: The world’s noise fades when you fix your eyes on Jesus. Unplug to hear God’s voice clearly.

### 5. Reprogram Your Mind with God’s Promises  

**Purpose**: Renew your mind by meditating on God’s promises and identity in Christ, reshaping how you think and act.  

**Action**: Memorize and declare Scriptures that affirm who you are in Christ (e.g., “I am a new creation” – 2 Corinthians 5:17). Visualize yourself living boldly for Him.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”* (2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV)  

– *“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”* (Philippians 4:8, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: You are not your old self—God has made you new. Fill your mind with His promises to walk in victory.

### 6. Take Bold Steps in Faith  

**Purpose**: Act on God’s calling, trusting Him to equip you. Faith without works is dead, so move forward even when it’s scary.  

**Action**: Identify one step toward God’s purpose (e.g., sharing your faith, serving others, starting a project). Pray for strength and do it, even if small.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”* (James 1:22, ESV)  

– *“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”* (Joshua 1:9, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: God is with you in every step. Act in faith, and He will make a way.

### 7. Steward Your Body as God’s Temple  

**Purpose**: Honor God by caring for your body, which fuels your ability to fulfill His purpose with energy and clarity.  

**Action**: Prioritize rest (6-8 hours sleep), eat wholesome foods, and move your body (walk, stretch, or exercise) as acts of worship.  

**Scripture**:  

– *“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.”* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NIV)  

– *“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”* (1 Corinthians 10:31, NIV)  

**Encouragement**: Caring for your body glorifies God and empowers you to run the race He’s set before you.

As a child of God, you are not bound by the world’s “Matrix.” Jesus has already won the victory, and through Him, you are unstoppable. Revisit these steps daily, rooted in prayer and Scripture, to stay aligned with His purpose. *“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory!”* (Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV)
