Golf swing part 2

Re post from 2020

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard or I’ve said to myself “just trust your swing”. These would be situations where I really needed to hit a great golf shot. I didn’t need to hit a great golf shot with every swing. But, in certain situations, I needed to play beyond my capabilities. In my mind, I believed it, but my heart did not. Many times during that scenario I would end up hitting a very bad shot. The reason would be because I would resort back to old habits and behaviors. The pressure would get to me.

I was thinking this morning. How many times when I am under pressure do I really want to trust God with what’s going on? I often want to return to old habits when the pressure increases. These include the old man, old behaviors, and old thought patterns. (not the defeated satan attacking you as religion would want you to believe). Wavering and doubt. Lately though I can say that there has been less wavering and doubting and more meditating and trusting. Seeing myself the way God sees me.

My behavior is not my identity.

Hebrews 11:1
By Faith
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Strongs G5287  the steadfastness of mind, firmness, courage, resolution confidence, firm trust, assurance

This is about persuading the heart and not wavering when the heat gets turned up.

Our lives are directed subconsciously by what we believe in
our heart. We may momentarily rise above or sink beneath our heart beliefs (sense of identity), but it will only be temporary. We always return to what we believe in our heart. This is what the Bible describes as “heart boundaries.” As we expand our heart beliefs to align with God’s promises, we move the boundaries that are limiting our life. Everything about life changes! Dr Richards.

The more you experience your identity in Christ the more your heart becomes persuaded and God’s reality becomes your reality.

Unshakable, unmovable.

Romans 8:27 And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
