How does one go about fixing things when you have done something to grieve Me? Beloved friend, it's so easy. All you have to do is tell Me from your heart, these five little magical words:I'm sorry, I was wrong.
No ifs, ands, or buts, no explanations of why you did what you did, that just shows pride. It's like saying you feel justified for what you did, and you're just saying you're sorry so I won't be grieved anymore. Just say sorry, and be truly sorry. No elaborate prayers or self punishment or whining or pouting or cowering or anything like that. I know your spirit.

STEP #6
To complete this step set up your strategy for when the enemy of your soul presents unrighteous thoughts to your mind. Make a list of three things that you will think about to eject and replace unrighteous thoughts. Write them down in your Personal Spiritual Journal.

the things i think on...
1. Holy Spirit, peace.
2. Right thoughts. Right thoughts.
3. The whatsoevers...

Hi
I just found your post and thought you might be talking about the step 6 that I am on today. I like that you were able to copy and paste the step. Whenever I have tried it wont let me copy, so I have to write down the instructions which is better for me because I end up remembering what I write. I am so excited about the teaching of the Spirit of Truth and the comfort I have been receivng from the Holy Spirit since I have started this study. I have been strengthened in my walk and my battles with fear anxiety and doubt. I am so amazed and grateful. I am feeling so much better that I have been letting the time go by longer in the day before I get to my time with the Spirit. So I must go now and spend time with Him. Nice to read your post and it gives me good ideas about what to do about thoughts.
I wrote down that first I will put on the armour of God on a daily basis before getting out of bed and if thoughts come in I will tell the devil to take a hike (Got that from another post) and the third thing is that I will think of something good. I have a picture of my teen sons when they were only 5 and 4. They are smiling so big and happy. They look like angels to me. They have their arms around each other. This pic was taken at a happier time and my sons acted like they loved each other. I probably should dwell on something else. However I can not help but smile when I think of my sons when they were precious and care free like that. I was also less worried about them then. Now they are in public school trying to make friends and so far the friend my older son hangs around is not very nice, and puts down people all the time. I know when someone does that its because they feel bad about themselves. My son is believing the put downs this kid tells him and I get mad and want to protect. Im on this topic because I was just called by my son from his lunch hour. Lord I just claim Peter as a Child of the Living God and ask that You surround Peter Lord in a hedge of protection around him from any attacks of the enemy. Give him confidence Lord to stand up for truth and justice Lord. Help Peter to believe in himself and his ability to be an excellent baseball player. Protect him from all the attacks of his team mates. I ask this in the mighty Name of Jesus.
Amen
I had to start praying right away for my son and to battle off the negative thoughts going into my head!
God Bless you sortamorta
