Your mind really is your worst enemy Journal Day 2

First, I just want to say, that I am so thankful and blessed to have received ALL the outpouring of love and support from everyone on here. I can't even tell you how magical it feels to have woken up this morning after a long night of no sleep to find such encouraging words, and positive praises of Him. I love you all so much already and I am amazed every single time He provides what I need. This time in the form of Oasis.

I just finished reading Step 2 and I have to say.... it is scary how much Satan can play with your mind, isn't it?? As a woman especially, I can replay almost any negative thing every said about me since middle school, why can't I recite the positive said along the way as well? Satan had set up not only camp, but a whole campground in my mind for years and I am so proud to say that the Lord is chasing him right out of there.

Although I still do not have any idea what Father wants of me in my immediate situation with my marriage, I know now not to water the evil seed or already grown weeds. I cut them right out, and fill it with the Holy, the Truth, The Only One. Oh how I yearn for a day when I don't have to fight for my brain! lol It will be hard for me, especially after years of abuse, years of being told I was never good enough or I wouldnt or couldn't do something, or that no one wanted me or no one loved me. I do know this, He loves me. He wants me. He thinks great things of my heart...so as long as I keep telling myself that, hopefully everything else will fall into place.

Don't get me wrong.....I have a constant tug-of-war between Truth and Evil in my head, but I BELIEVE my Father will win.

I love you all so much and I can't wait to be able to make it on a chat room soon!!!

Hi Amis, have you ever heard the song the Voice of Truth? It talks about how the enemy fills our head with nosense and lies and the Voice of Truth tells us a different story...this is just like the weeds...they are planted by the enemy of our soul to try and capture us and take us from the Truth...but once you begin to recognize the weeds and pull them out and do so continually there will be a lot more Light in your life and joy as well.

Keep walking through the path.

Take care and God Bless
Do you know my Jesus? Do you know my friend? Have you heard He loves you? If not, I'd like to introduce you.

oh amis, that is great! I knew you could see the truth.
When I started my walk, the lies would come in but I found that if I commanded them to leave me in Jesus' name, they had to flee. Then I would think the opposite toward God and be refilled. You have to say it out loud and if you say it as soon as you realize, they will not be able to get a foothold and the thoughts will leave. After a while, the enemy will stop trying although he will still try to seek them in, you will be able to catch it because you will be stronger.

oh, and don't cut those weeds down....pull them out by the roots!!! *BigGrin*
