The Battle of the Mind


It is so important to realign my thinking with God's Word.  A really "bad day," or some sleep deprivation can totally turn my thinking to a more feelings based foundation instead of a truth based reality.  Then my thoughts run to conclusions that drive me to disappointing, or even shocking, actions.  "This is impossible!" or "nobody truly loves me!" are both lies that every believer has either considered (but then talked yourself back to reality) or fully embraced. These lies (and many other lies like them) are powerful enough to...
derail the believer.  Fighting lies in our thought life is truly spiritual warfare!  Don't be fooled by Satan's lies...embrace the truth of God's Word!
