God created neural pathways to be a good thing.
Because of sin, neural pathways can also be a bad thing.
Genesis 6:5
Psalm 10:4
Matthew 9:4
Ephesians 2:3
We are bombarded by 500 unintentional intrusive thoughts every day that we did not choose.
A trench of truth can form a new neural pathway that gets us out of the rut:
- A rut is typically formed in mud and becomes a nuisance, even a danger. A rut is unintentionally created, has no purpose, and requires repair.
- A trench is intentionally dug to deliver a necessary resource. A trench has a specific purpose and fixes an existing problem.
The antidote for a negative neural pathway rooted in lies is a new neural pathway rooted in truth.
The replacement principle: replace old neural pathways by internalizing the truth of God’s Word.
Psalm 119:9-16, 43
The way to internalize truth is to recount and meditate on God’s Word.
Rewire neural pathways by declaring the truth.
Declaration: When I am stressed or in times of distress, I turn to God, not food. I come to Jesus because he is what I really need. He is my strength, my fortress and my refuge.
Declaration: Lust is not my master. God has redeemed me and given me pure thoughts. I will not look lustfully, because I’ve made that Covenant with my eyes and with my God, who strengthens me God is always faithful and when I am tempted, will always provide a way out.
Replace old neural pathways by internalizing the truth of God’s word.
Rewire new neural pathway by declaring the Truth.
