| Sheila Walsh: How To Renew Your Mind | 5 Minutes with Jesus | October 21, 2025
- For every lie that i've believed.
- 00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:02.158
- I've had to replace it with truths from god's word.
- 00:00:02.158 --> 00:00:05.628
- Growing up, i felt too broken to be loved.
- 00:00:05.628 --> 00:00:08.965
- I spent so many years trying to be good enough for god
- 00:00:08.965 --> 00:00:12.135
- So that he would love me.
- 00:00:12.135 --> 00:00:13.803
- And it was only when my life fell apart that i began
- 00:00:13.803 --> 00:00:16.873
- To understand that god loves broken people
- 00:00:16.873 --> 00:00:20.043
- And those who pretend they're not.
- 00:00:20.043 --> 00:00:25.982
- I so love the book of romans
- 00:00:26.549 --> 00:00:28.718
- Is one of my favorite books in the bible.
- 00:00:28.718 --> 00:00:30.720
- In romans chapter 12 we read this.
- 00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.323
- And so, dear brothers and sisters,
- 00:00:33.323 --> 00:00:35.325
- I plead with you to give your bodies to god
- 00:00:35.325 --> 00:00:37.760
- Because of all he's done for you.
- 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.996
- Let them be a living and holy sacrifice,
- 00:00:39.996 --> 00:00:42.966
- The kind he will find acceptable.
- 00:00:42.966 --> 00:00:45.168
- This is truly the way to worship him.
- 00:00:45.168 --> 00:00:47.670
- Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world,
- 00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:50.807
- But let god transform you into a new person
- 00:00:50.807 --> 00:00:54.444
- By changing the way you think.
- 00:00:54.444 --> 00:00:56.412
- Then you will learn to know god's will for you,
- 00:00:56.412 --> 00:00:58.615
- Which is good and pleasing and perfect.
- 00:00:58.615 --> 00:01:02.152
- So let me ask you, how do we change the way we think?
- 00:01:02.152 --> 00:01:06.523
- Most of us have pretty well-established
- 00:01:06.523 --> 00:01:08.224
- Thought patterns, the ways we thought for a long time.
- 00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:11.594
- If you grew up believing i'll never be enough.
- 00:01:11.594 --> 00:01:14.664
- It's hard to change that.
- 00:01:14.664 --> 00:01:16.266
- If you were told as a child
- 00:01:16.266 --> 00:01:17.667
- That you'd always be a failure, those words stick to you.
- 00:01:17.667 --> 00:01:21.437
- That old saying that sticks and stones may break my bones,
- 00:01:21.437 --> 00:01:24.340
- But words will never hurt me is simply not true.
- 00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:27.544
- Often words hurt far more than sticks or stones.
- 00:01:27.544 --> 00:01:31.681
- If you've thought
- 00:01:32.115 --> 00:01:33.082
- One way for years, how do you change that?
- 00:01:33.082 --> 00:01:36.452
- Growing up in my childhood home, we had wallpaper in
- 00:01:36.452 --> 00:01:39.522
- Every room.
- 00:01:39.522 --> 00:01:40.723
- I'll never forget what it was like
- 00:01:40.723 --> 00:01:42.091
- When my mom decided
- 00:01:42.091 --> 00:01:43.393
- To re wallpaper the kitchen and we were all signed up to help.
- 00:01:43.393 --> 00:01:47.430
- The challenge was not getting the new wallpaper on.
- 00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:50.700
- The real challenge was getting the old wallpaper off.
- 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.803
- I don't know
- 00:01:53.803 --> 00:01:54.938
- What kind of wallpaper glue they used in those days
- 00:01:54.938 --> 00:01:57.173
- In scotland, but it was so hard to get off.
- 00:01:57.173 --> 00:02:00.376
- I'd imagine that sheets would just rip off together.
- 00:02:00.376 --> 00:02:02.946
- That's not what happened.
- 00:02:02.946 --> 00:02:04.214
- The paper came off in little pieces.
- 00:02:04.214 --> 00:02:06.449
- It took us a whole day just to get the old wallpaper off.
- 00:02:06.449 --> 00:02:10.653
- I think that's a good picture of what it means
- 00:02:10.653 --> 00:02:13.089
- To change the way we think.
- 00:02:13.089 --> 00:02:15.925
- It would be lovely
- 00:02:15.925 --> 00:02:16.793
- If all we had to do
- 00:02:16.793 --> 00:02:17.827
- Is rip off old patterns
- 00:02:17.827 --> 00:02:19.295
- Of thinking in sheets, and they were gone.
- 00:02:19.295 --> 00:02:21.731
- But that's not been my experience.
- 00:02:21.731 --> 00:02:23.733
- We wallpapering our mind is hard work and it takes commitment.
- 00:02:23.733 --> 00:02:29.072
- For every lie that i've believed.
- 00:02:29.072 --> 00:02:31.140
- I've had to replace it with truths from god's word.
- 00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:34.611
- Growing up, i felt too broken to be loved.
- 00:02:34.611 --> 00:02:37.947
- I spent so many years trying to be good enough for god
- 00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:41.117
- So that he would love me.
- 00:02:41.117 --> 00:02:42.785
- And it was
- 00:02:42.785 --> 00:02:43.920
- Only when my life fell apart that i began to understand
- 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:47.190
- That god loves broken people and those who pretend they're not.
- 00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:50.627
- None of us are perfect.
- 00:02:51.160 --> 00:02:52.695
- We all fall down.
- 00:02:52.695 --> 00:02:54.030
- But that does not mean that god loves us any less.
- 00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:57.300
- When we place our
- 00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:58.434
- Trust in jesus, we are loved with an everlasting love.
- 00:02:58.434 --> 00:03:02.105
- The values that god places on your life is a life of his
- 00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:05.408
- Own son.
- 00:03:05.408 --> 00:03:06.075
- What are some of the lies that you've believed?
- 00:03:07.010 --> 00:03:09.946
- Can you replace them one by one with truth from god's word?
- 00:03:09.946 --> 00:03:14.417
- They'll take some time
- 00:03:14.917 --> 00:03:16.252
- Because the wallpaper in our mind has been there for a while.
- 00:03:16.252 --> 00:03:19.455
- But with god's grace and his love, we can replace
- 00:03:19.455 --> 00:03:23.126
- Every lie with truth and renew our minds.
- 00:03:23.126 --> 00:03:26.296
- So is the power of god's word.
- 00:03:26.296 --> 00:03:28.831
- Let's pray.
- 00:03:28.831 --> 00:03:30.466
- Father, i want to thank you for the truth of your words.
- 00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:33.836
- And lord, i ask now, by the power of your holy spirit,
- 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:37.340
- Will you illumine for us the lies that we have believed,
- 00:03:37.340 --> 00:03:40.710
- So that we can bring them to you
- 00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:42.645
- And replace them with truths from your word.
- 00:03:42.645 --> 00:03:46.215
- Thank you, lord, that you are with us in this.
- 00:03:46.215 --> 00:03:48.685
- It might take a long time,
- 00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:50.253
- But you will walk every step of the way with us.
- 00:03:50.253 --> 00:03:53.323
- In jesus name, amen.
- 00:03:53.323 --> 00:03:53.323
