I watched this movie recently called Divergent and it was about this girl who is different from everyone else because she fits into all the factions, she has the power and ability to do so. In part of the movie she is put into a simulator that makes her believe she is facing her biggest fears. Since she is divergent she passes very quickly. She is able to remove herself from this very real situation by reminding herself it isn't real.
While I was reading this book called "Lies Young Women Believe" by Nancy Demoss and Dannah Gresh, it made me think of this scene. Tris realized not long into the test that is was fake, it was a lie. It's the same thing when it comes to the enemy's lies; we have to realize and recognize the them. Continue to remind ourselves it's a lie, like Tris, when she said "This isn't real." Once we've realized it we have to remove ourselves, the same way Tris removed herself by getting into the water or by tapping on the glass. She chose to not believe the simulation (the lie). In the book, the progression of lies go: Listening, dwelling, believing and acting. It's the same to get out of a lie. Realize what you are hearing is a lie, dwell on the fact that it's untrue ("This isn't real"), believe in the truth, and act on it, remove yourself from the lie.
As Christians we are divergent!
