This wasnt going to be my original topic for the day, but i started reading a book today and i had to share..."Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer.
I am a Prisoner of War...let's begin with the definition: prisoner of war -noun- person who is captured and held by an enemy during war. In this case the enemy is satan..now dont worry, i'm not gonna get all holier than thou..but this is important stuff...
We are all contstantly being attacked..satan is clever and we all should know this by now, even non-believers know this...but what u may not think about is how satan's plan for us comes together..the (spiritual)war is fought between "good and evil" and ur mind is the battlefield...during the war u are captured and put in prison(mentally)...this was accomplished because of careful planning by the enemy...the enemy learns about u..finds your weaknesses and knows when and how to attack...now u and ur mind are in bondage(definition-the state of being bound by or subjected to some external power or control). So how do you get out of bondage? ...u take back control of ur mind!..
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Basically MIND over MATTER...make concious decisions to change ur thoughts and break urself out of bondage...now if this were easy..everyone would be doing it..LOL..they call it war for a reason...but it is possible..
Now how does all this apply to ME?..since this blog is about finding myself..mostly i am changing what i "ingest"..garbage in garbage out..change some of my music (since i joined choir i find myself singin happy songs)...change what i focus on...i want to be a good example for my kids...i have always heard people say.."would u say that to ur mother" or "would u do that if Jesus were watching?"...and it's true..my kids are constantly watching and i need act accordingly...otherwise they will end up all screwed up like me..as Obama says..TIME FOR CHANGE....until next time.
