Groeschel introduces a striking concept: 'A lie believed as truth will affect your life as if it were true.' This paradigm shift underscores how false beliefs—whether about ourselves, others, or God—can imprison us mentally and emotionally. He uses vivid examples like his friend Kevin being 'trapped' in an unlocked closet because he believed it was locked. Similarly, many people live constrained by lies such as 'I’m not good enough' or 'I’ll never change.' These lies become self-fulfilled prophecies unless replaced with truth. The author ties this idea to spiritual warfare, explaining that Satan’s primary weapon is deception designed to keep us from living freely in God’s truth. | Craig Groeschel | Winning the War in Your Mind
