Boundaries are Biblical

Setting Boundaries to Live Free

by

Are You Communicating Your Limits?

Listen to Podcast below or Watch on YouTube.

In past podcasts, I’ve discussed boundaries as beneficial to put God first. But have you ever thought about how boundaries prevent others from trying to make YOU their god? 

Relationships can contain a hidden, unhealthy power struggle, producing unhealthy worship on both ends. 

Walking on eggshells to keep abuse at bay, prevent rejection, or maintain the peace, has the potential to position YOU as their god – holding you responsible for their emotions, actions, and comfort. 

Falsely believing you must never let others down by always being there for them, rescuing or fixing them, steps into God’s shoes. 

Has someone blamed you for their ugly words or actions towards you? Did you shoulder unnecessary shame because you mistakenly thought it was your responsibility? 

While we can appreciate and admire, only the Almighty is worthy of worship.

This spiritual boundary set by God is a vital reason to set boundaries with others. When you don’t communicate limits, others could see you as limitless and lean on you in a way that only God is worthy to bear. 

In today’s teaching message, we are diving into how the blood of Jesus provides spiritual boundaries, inviting us to trust God and lead others to do the same.

ONWARD!

How to Discern God’s Voice when Setting Boundaries

by

What is the Belt of Truth?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

Codependency led me to live in captivity.  

While no physical prison bars confined me, my controlling tendencies and self-sufficiency robbed me of real freedom and prevented me from walking in God’s power.

All in the name of survival, fear and oppression drove me to develop the faulty defense mechanisms of control and self-sufficiency, instead of walking in God’s power under His protection.

Can you relate? 

One of the enemy’s greatest calling cards is using lies to trigger you to function out of fear, rather than faith – to use your armor to fight and fend for yourself.  

Discovering how to discern God’s voice to set boundaries was a vital part of releasing my armor. I was able to take hold of one of the most powerful parts of God’s spiritual armor – the belt of truth.

God’s discernment will give you guidance to set boundaries His way. 

In today’s message, discover how to grow in your discernment, secure the belt of truth, set boundaries with God’s guidance and confidently live out your calling. 

ONWARD!

Set Boundaries with Yourself by Doing THIS!

Win the Battles in Your Mind by Setting Boundaries in Your Thinking.

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

There are all kinds of battlefields. 

What is or was your warzone? Where did the enemy of your soul lob his unfair, ferocious, fiery darts relentlessly, one after another – so much so that the crazy became comfortable? 

Perhaps you left your battlefield long ago, but you notice that the battle has not left you.

You still feel anxiety, anger, insecurity, hopelessness, or fear. Often, after a cease-fire, the greatest battle lies ahead – the battle of setting boundaries in your thinking. 

How has the enemy normalized dysfunction so that you settle, instead of setting boundaries to soar? 

Now hear this treasured one – your past doesn’t have to dictate your future. 

In today’s message, see how God can shift your paradigm by painting a new picture of what could be. It’s time to see faith beyond your familiar… with new steps to live in freedom as God intended! 

I am always cheering you on!

ONWARD,

Aliene

How to Handle Boundary Disrespect

by

Are People Respecting Your Boundaries?

Listen to the Podcast or Watch on YouTube.

God is NOT calling you to be a doormat. 

In a perfect world, people respect boundaries. But we all know that life doesn’t work out neat and tidy. 

People are messy.

Just because we set a boundary does not necessarily mean people will respect that boundary. 

Boundary pushers show up in different ways. They display traits like narcissism, immaturity, entitlement, selfishness, privilege, desperation, cluelessness, or a toxic mix of any of these. 

For the love of Pete! These people pursue their desires regardless of your boundaries, often disregarding them completely!

Has someone blown off a boundary you set and you’re looking for how to navigate the situation with wisdom?  In today’s teaching message, discover Biblical strategies to deal with boundary disrespect, God’s Way. 

Much Love,

Aliene

Am I Setting Boundaries Wrong?

by

Avoid These Mistakes when Setting Boundaries.

Listen to the podcast below or watch on YouTube.

You know I am your biggest cheerleader when it comes to setting boundaries. YOU GO GIRL! 

But… have you ever taken a courageous step to set boundaries and experienced frustration instead of freedom, leading to these doubtful thoughts? 

  • “Setting boundaries never works for me – why bother?”
  • “No one respects me. I should just continue to go with the flow and hide my voice.”
  • “I must be wrong and selfish for setting that boundary…”

Now, hear this brave soul. Your desire to protect your heart, mind, body, time, and other sacred trusts from the Lord is NOT selfish, wrong, or shameful. 

Sometimes when we set boundaries, the right motive is combined with the wrong methodology, and we wind up wounded instead of free.

The real peace your heart craves comes from setting boundaries, God’s way. 

In our teaching message today, discover and gain the skills you need to set boundaries God’s way and live in freedom as he intended.

ONWARD!

How To Stop Codependency’s Confusion

by

Saying “No” with Confidence

Listen to the podcast or watch on YouTube.

Saying “no” carries its difficulties for everyone.

If you are a codependent, then saying no is especially challenging.

Codependency causes you to become externally referenced, meaning that you look to outside sources to navigate life, find your identity and validate your worth. Seeking this outside input causes a lot of static that can distract you from the Holy Spirit’s leading in your life.

These distractions are like waves that turn your eyes away from the Way Maker. 

Idolatry creates indecision that can impact your confidence to set boundaries. 

The enemy will use your idolatry of man to create confusion and doubt with these racing thoughts…  

  • What will people think?
  • Am I a bad person for saying no?
  • I feel like I should do this… God, are you sure?

Are you sinking in thinking instead of soaring by putting God first? 

God wants to be first in your life. The real you will SHINE out of that relationship!

In today’s teaching message, discover how idolatry brings indecision. Intimacy with God brings confidence in EVERY area of your life, including your confidence to say “no”, so you can put God first! 

It’s time to put God back in the center and live with the joy that flows from putting Him first and becoming who He created you to be. 

ONWARD!
