Words matter. They take up space in our mental closet. They have meaning and are powerful. Words that you say in your mind make up what kind of person you will be: defeated, loved, feel safe, and more. Some words hold truth and some are lies. The truth is constructive. Listening to lies is destructive for you. God's truth is constructive. It corrects, disciplines, instructs, educates, and empowers wisdom.
Labels can hurt and always limit your ability. Labels put you in a nice neat box that may be too small for you or at least leaves you no room to grow as a person. Some people put labels on you, but most of your labels you accept or put upon yourself. They are destructive, discouraging, or untrue in defining who you are. You are far more than a few titles to God.
Painful labels can produce anger. It is okay to be angry, but do not allow your anger to cause you to sin. Reject the lie and remind yourself that you belong to God. He will take care of the labels/titles that cause harm.
Your struggle is not so much the label itself, but spiritual forces that make you feel uncomfortable, angry, hurt, and more negative feelings. It feels physical, but it is actually a spiritual battle. The damage people inflict is real, but the source behind it is always Satan. He loves using bitterness and unforgiveness to keep you in our box. God's truth is telling you that you can free yourself at any time.
Fill your mental closet with scripture. Make physical space for God to study, pray, and meditate. This is your greatest weapon against Satan. This is where you can erase the lies. Capture every thought and align them with God's truth. Do not live another day as a prisoner under Satan's controlling lies. Believe the truth and start using it to get free.
