Breaking Mental Bondages: Superstition, Idols and True Power in Christ

Episode Overview

Question long-held superstitions and traditions, especially when they carry more weight in your mind than God’s word.
Treat addictions and other dependencies as forms of worship that belong to God alone, and ask Him directly for help to quit.
Avoid psychics, tarot, horoscopes and other spiritual shortcuts that replace seeking God, as they open the door to idolatry and confusion.
Give anger, hurt and intrusive thoughts to God quickly, before they grow into depression, hatred or destructive behaviour.
Stay in scripture yourself so you can test any "word" or prophecy and avoid being misled by people who lack true spiritual authority.

“"Whatever you got in your mind that's holding you hostage. That's what I say superstition is."”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? For Dr Theresa M Bell, it starts in the mind and the spirit. In this faith-filled session of **Resilient Truths**, she talks about "mental bondages" — those beliefs, habits and superstitions that quietly run the show in your life and block your walk with God.

Using funny, down-to-earth stories about cracked mirrors, black cats, Easter eggs, pimples, and even rotary phones, she shows how old sayings and "just for fun" traditions can turn into strongholds when you give them more weight than God's word. As she puts it, "Whatever you got in your mind that's holding you hostage... that's what I say superstition is." Dr Bell connects superstition, horoscopes, tarot, addictions like crack cocaine and cigarettes, and other "little gods" to idolatry and compromise.

She walks through scriptures in Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Kings, Isaiah, Matthew and Acts to highlight how seeking guidance from anything other than God can open the door to spiritual and mental chaos. You’ll hear candid moments from her own recovery journey, like trying to smoke while reading the Bible and becoming so nauseated she had to choose, and seasons where all she had was a Cadillac, her kids, and raw faith.

She talks openly about anger, depression, the risk of "snapping", and the need to cast your cares on God quickly, before resentment and hate take root. This session will suit anyone in recovery who wants a stronger spiritual foundation, especially people wrestling with superstition, church hurt, or confusion about "prophetic words" and psychics. Expect straight talk, scripture, humour, and a pointed reminder to test every voice against God's word.

What might you need to lay down so your mind and heart are actually free?
