Little Voice Management: Gods Way

As Christians we need to be aware of the little voice we hear and where it is coming from. Is it God’s voice, your voice or the enemies? I want to address the little voice that does not come from God. It may sound like your own voice too but for today’s simplictic focus we are going to focus on the enemies little voice.

The enemies little voice is anything that you hear in your head that attacks you as a person such as:

“You are so stupid”
“You’ll never amount to anything”
“You can’t do that, who you do you think you are?”
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah………

These thoughts and opinions do NOT come from God and here’s why.
Reason #1 Romans 8:1
So now there is not condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

Reason#2 Galatians 2:20
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me!

When we invite Jesus Christ into our life because we want him to guide and direct us, because we need him; he takes up residence inside of us. Our old self and old way of being is gone. God himself lives in us. Jesus Christ is perfect, whole and complete.

So any messages or little voices you hear inside that tear you down or attack your character; is not from God. God would not talk to his beloved son, Jesus that way. Because His son Jesus Christ lives in you, he doesn’t talk to you that way either!

When you hear these kind of voices, say or yell STOP. Somtimes you can say it inside your head and other times you may need to say it outloud. Make a conscious decision to stop that line of thinking because it’s not correct or true.

God’s voice may sound like this when he is addressing something in our life;

“You CAN do all things through Christ that lives within you!”
“Maybe you could talk to your husband of wife in a different way”
“You learned a lot from that situation, I wonder what you could do different next time”

You see, God only addresses our behavior not our character and who we are. My prayer for you is to hear God’s voice in the days to come!

What’s your little voice saying?

In our last ezine issue we addressed how fear is the number 1 obstacle to success. The function of our mind is to keep us safe and so it spends a great amount of time searching and scanning for unsafe situations.

The voice of the scanning can sound like fear. Blaire Singer calls it your little voice. What is your little voice saying to you?

Blair has a method that he uses to control that voice called “Little Voice Management” Techniques. The little voice of fear can inhibit you from being the best you can be. I would like to share a couple of his top LVM tools with you. These tools will help you to become conscious of how your mind works.

LVM #1 Learn to Celebrate your Successes

We have files of information (learning’s, emotions, situations, experiences etc.) that is not only stored in our minds but in our bodies as well. Some of the files in our mind need to be deleted or reprogrammed AND our bodies need that same kind of “defrag”. When our little voice of fear starts up we automatically go to those files throughout our brain and body that have dealt with these kinds of situations before; many times these thoughts don’t help us.

One way to change those automatic responses is to do something different. When you experience a success of any kind, big or small; celebrate! Do something physical.

• Give someone a high 5



• Get a hand shake



• Get a pat on the back



• Say “YES” to yourself with some gusto or



• Play your favorite song.
  

The point is to anchor in your success in your mind and body. You feel physically different when to celebrate with a whole body experience! When your body feels different your mind will follow and vice a versa.

Practice this. Celebrate in ALL things. Next issue we will address LVM tool #2. Until then,
Living fully alive and on purpose,
