Prepare your Minds for War!

"For in my inward man I delight in God's law, but I see another law at work in the members of my body waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work withing my members". Romans 7 :22-23

Your mind is at War every single day! Every day that you arise to enjoy another day your mind will be bombarded by images, words, concepts, and thoughts. What you think about does matter, despite what some think or say. Another misconception that many people have is that you do not have control of your thoughts, but that is far from the truth!

YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS!

You must make your mind your servant. You must tell it what to do, you must tell it what to think, and you must tell it what to meditate on. Boss your mind around, it is your servant. When unholy, bad, negative and unproductive thoughts pop up in your mind resist those thoughts by opening your mouth and say what the Word says that contradict those negative thoughts.

Some believe that your heart is your subconscience mind where you store your thoughts. So fill your Mental Warehouse with the Word of God. What happens in your mind is likely to happen in your future ( as a man thinketh in his heart so is he...Proverbs 23:7). Practice meditating on the Word of God today to unlock your faith in His Word.

Brave Heart Baby, Brave Heart!!

"For God has not given us a spirit of Fear but of Power, Love and a Sound Mind" (2 Timothy 1:7).
God has not given us a spirit of Fear! That should be encouraging enough to pull a Brave attitude out of our hearts to help us confront anything that trys to rob from us, steal from us or may try to destroy us.

By looking at that verse please understand that Fear is a spirit, just like Faith is a spirit ( 2 Corinthians 4:13, "with the same spirit of faith,") and I believe that Fear comes the same way that Faith (Romans 10:17) comes which is by hearing and hearing by the word of Fear. The enemy, negative circumstances and even negative minded people (even those close to you) will say things/words that will get you to operate in fear. The enemy knows that Fear will make you run, tremble, quit, hide and it will paralize you. Fear is never productive rather to the contrary it is destructive.

I'm not sure what you are facing or how severe your problems may be but I do know that God doesn't want you to live in Fear at all. Don't be afraid to confront sin, don't be afraid to confront pornography, don't be afraid to confront your fits of wrath, don't be afraid to confront your pride, don't be afraid to confront the alcoholism, don't be afraid to confront your selfishness--DON'T BE AFRAID, DON'T BE AFRAID!!
God wants everyone that serves him to look their problem(s) right in the face, resist the spirit of Fear and with the courage that he supplies recognize that they cannot be defeated by life's problems because as Christians "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1st John 4:4).

God doesn't beget suckers, lames, or weak willed feeble people. A Brave God begets Brave men and therefore they must possess Brave Hearts!!

My Brother you are a Brave Heart.....a Brave Heart!
