The Sound Of Authority

Why Your Brain Believes What It Hears More Than What It Thinks

Your brain believes what it hears more than what it thinks.


That's why speaking God's promises over your life isn't just positive thinking. It's strategic warfare against the lies that have been running commentary in your head for years.


Most people's internal voice is brutal. Harsh. Unforgiving. It says things you'd never say to a friend, but you let it run unchecked all day long.


Speaking truth out loud drowns out the lies.


The enemy CANNOT hear your thoughts, but he trembles at your declarations.


When you declare what Jesus Christ says about you—that you're fearfully and wonderfully made, that He has plans to prosper you—you're not just reminding yourself of truth. You're interrupting the destructive dialogue that's been shaping your reality.


There's something about moving truth from your mind to your mouth that shifts the atmosphere. That changes the conversation. That reminds both you and the enemy whose you are.


Jesus, the Son of God, spoke this world into existence. When you speak His words over your life, you're partnering with the same creative power that formed man from the dust.


Your internal dialogue has been shaping your reality for years. Time to give it some competition.


What truth does your soul need to hear out loud today?


Ready to silence the lies and establish God's truth?
