Battlefield: My Mind.
I've overcome various trials and challenges in my life and they have shaped me into the person that I am today the good and not so good parts of me. I would struggle with so many issues and I did not know how to deal with them and I did not want to talk to anyone with the fear of being judged. So I did what I thought would help I PARTIED! and that was the WRONG ANSWER!!! I have been in church all my life but I really didn't have a relationship with God until 2008. Even after I started seeking and spending time with God and wanting more of Him.That's when the enemy would attack me the most. And he would attack in the place that controlled me the most my Mind. But one day I had had ENOUGH!!! And ladies we all know that you are the only person that can determine when you have had enough. I became angry at being defenseless on this battlefield, and worse, losing at it. So, I earnestly sought God on how to be a better warrior when this battle ensued. And with a strategy of grace and wisdom, my General heard my cries and offered His aide. One of the best tactics my General gave me was when thoughts of “you suck,” or “you can’t” BEGIN a march onto the battlefield of
my mind, ricochet those assaults with God’s truth!
My BOW is my BIBLE; my ARROWS are its verses.
Here are some of the best arrows I’ve found for my arsenal. Maybe you or someone you know could use them in theirs.
· I am God’s child. (Jn 1:12)
· I have been bought with a price, and I belong to God. (1 Cor 6:19-20)
· I have been chosen by God and adopted as His child. (Eph 1:3-8)
· I am assured that God works for my good in all circumstances. (Rom 8:28)
· I have been established, anointed and sealed by God. (2 Cor. 1:21-22)
· I am confident that God will complete the good work He started in me. (Phil. 1:6)
· I am a citizen of heaven. (Phil. 3:20)
· I am God’s workmanship. (Eph. 2:10)
· I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
Our minds maybe battlefields, but with God, our minds don’t have to lose the battle! So be encouraged remember that we are God's daughters and the apple of his eye :)
