"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10
I’m praying Jesus continues to free us up to fully live and enjoy the abundant life He made possible for us through His life, death, and resurrection!
With that in mind, here are twenty-two liberating truths taken from Nancy Leigh DeMoss’ book, Lies Women Believe: And the Truth That Sets Them Free! You might want to print them out and place them where you can see them everyday. You may want to try memorizing these truths with their corresponding verses.
Twenty-two Liberating Truths for Today's Woman
- God is good (Ps. 119:68; 136:1).
- God loves me and wants me to have His best (Rom. 8:32, 38-39).
- I am complete and accepted in Christ (Eph. 1:6).
- God is enough (Ps. 23:1).
- God can be trusted (Isa. 28:16).
- God doesn’t make any mistakes! (Isa. 46:10) Everything that comes into my life has been “filtered through His fingers of love.”
- God’s grace is sufficient for me (2 Cor. 12:9).
- The blood of Christ is sufficient to cover all my sin (1 John 1:7).
- The cross of Christ is sufficient to conquer my sinful flesh (Rom. 6:6-7). I don’t have to sin (Rom. 6:14).
- My past does not have to plague me (1 Cor. 6:9-11).
- God’s Word is sufficient to lead me, teach me, and heal me (Ps. 19:7; 107:20; 119:105).
- Through the power of His Holy Spirit, God will enable me to do anything that He commands me to do (1 Thess. 5:24).
- I’m responsible before God for my behavior, responses, and choices (Ez. 18:19-22).
- I will reap whatever I sow (Gal. 6:7-8).
- The pathway to true joy is to relinquish control of my life, husband, children, and circumstances (Luke 1:38; 1 Pet. 5:7; Matt. 16:25).
- The greatest freedom I can experience is found through submission to God-ordained authority (Eph. 5:23).
- In the will of God, there is no higher, holier calling than to be a wife and mother (Titus 2:4-5).
- Personal holiness is more important than temporal happiness (Eph. 5:26-27). Happiness is not a right.
- God is more concerned about changing me and glorifying Himself, than about solving my problems (Rom. 8:29).
- It is impossible to be godly without suffering. Suffering is a tool in the hand of God to conform me to the image of Jesus (1 Pet. 5:10).
- My suffering will not last forever (2 Cor. 4:17-18; Ps. 30:5).
- “It’s not about me; it’s all about Him!” (Col. 1:16-18)

Blessed me, blessed me, blessed me! I plan to print this and tape this inside my Bible. Thanks so much for these 22 Godly affirmations.
It's one thing to know they are in the Bible; it's something entirely different to be able to speak them out of your mouth and get them deep into your Spirit, Important because our adversary is working tirelessly to convince so many woman that none of there liberating truths applies to them. Blessings upon your ministry!
