Notes from “Adoption is War,” Message by Josh Mack (Together for Adoption conference): Applications for the helmet of salvation, taking thoughts captive, and countering lies Satan tempts us to believe
1st lie: I’m overwhelmed and don’t have what it takes to be an adoptive parent
2nd lie: I won’t make it (I’m too big a mess, I’m too weak, and/or this isn’t what I signed up for)
3rd lie: I am alone in this battle, on my own (or church can’t understand or help, so I won’t ask)
4th lie: Some kids from hard places can’t change (it’s all genetics, nothing works, it’s hopeless)
5th lie: I can’t _________ in the present because of the past (sin, shame, mistakes, regret, etc.)
6th lie: I’m too insecure or uncertain about the future (or I’ve tried everything and I’ve lost hope)
7th lie: I don’t feel love (or I fear or doubt love of God or love from God) so it can’t be so
