Episode notes
Personal Turn From Fear To Focus
- Steve Backlund describes being pulled into speaking more about spiritual attack than God's protection.
- God told him to talk more about protection and he'd see more of it, which shifted his focus.
How Strongholds Shape Experience
- Strongholds in thinking seek proof that confirms existing beliefs and ignore contrary evidence.
- This self-reinforcing filter shapes identity and experience more than objective reality.
Belief Becomes Destiny
- Beliefs act like self-fulfilling prophecies: those who say they can and those who say they can't both prove themselves right.
- Historical examples (like the spies in Numbers) show belief determines outcome.
