Replacing Our Core Beliefs

Before we had words

Our unconscious recorded our experiences

We embraced our experiences as reality

Believing that our life will continue 

To be 

Just how we experienced it…

before we had words

For before we had words

We operated out of emotions

Once we have words

We become conscious of our

Emotions

Feelings

Experiences

We begin to make sense 

Of our experiences

Feelings

Emotions

Nonetheless 

What we experienced during our primal years

Have taken root

Deep in our unconscious

And have become our

Core Beliefs

Our unconscious continues to seek out

Experiences

Feelings

Emotions 

That feel familiar

Relentlessly we grab on to them

To reinforce our expectations toward life

Regardless of our present situation

Regardless of our new experiences

Regardless of our new realities

We are convinced

However we experienced life way back then

Will continue to prove to be true 

In the days and years to come

For the rest of our life

Our unconscious is like an industrial-sized magnet

Scanning for 

Any and every

Vestige of what would prove to us

That our Core Beliefs

Are true and real

In perpetuity

How do we overcome our Core Beliefs?

With much mourning and grieving 

Of our experiences

Putting into words our experiences

To make what is in our unconscious

Conscious

We begin to understand our Core Beliefs

What formed and shaped them

We then replace our Core Beliefs

With reality 

In the here and now

The new creation that we are

In Christ Jesus

Getting rid of the old wineskin

Shedding our past

Renewing our minds

With God’s truths

That we are 

Loved

Desired

Wanted

Cherished 

By God

Our Maker

The Author of our life

Who saw our unformed body

Before the foundation of the world was set

Who knit us together 

In our mother’s womb

He was with us from the beginning

Has been with us each and every day

He is with us in the here and now

And He will be with us 

In perpetuity

Christ the First Born of creation

Christ Who has gone before us

Christ Who suffered for us

Christ Who died for us

Christ Who resurrected from the dead

Christ Who is now at the right hand of God

Interceding for us

We have a new beginning

We are new creation

Our Core Beliefs be gone

Let us embrace 

Our new identity

Our new reality

Our new life

Our new wine skin

For all the old has passed away

Behold we are now made new

Embrace how God views us

Anticipate what He will unfold in our life

His good and perfect will for us

Our new life of

Love

Hope

Joy

Shalom

Purpose
