Are negative thoughts overwhelming you? I understand. Our mind is a battleground. We often talk about how easy it is to slip in to the snares of the devil. Just one little negative thought can turn into many bad thoughts. We are in a battle every day.
Well, I just want to assure you that as fast as the devil can snare you…God can save you! When the enemy attacks…Your Defender is Jesus Christ. You are not alone in the everyday battles. Many struggle with the same battle you do. The what if’s, the I should have’s, if only and so on…are experienced by many who are probably standing right next to you. Why because we are all targeted by an enemy who wants to take you down. You must believe in God’s truth and not the lies of the enemy.
I struggle with many negative thoughts. If I am not careful and seek God, the devil will have a stronghold on me. Our mind is his playground and he will get real comfortable their once we have allowed ourselves to slip into his trap. He knows, if he brings our past up, our mistakes, our sin, our failures we can fall into a downward spiral leading us to a place of darkness.
The greatest thing is that we have Jesus, the light of the world. The King of glory who is mighty in battle. When I get a bad thought I say “Take the battle Jesus, O King of glory” and He takes it. He is quick to come to my rescue and transform my thoughts. There have been time when that darkness has been really bad and I have had to cry out “Take the battle Jesus, O King of glory more than once. He never fails to bring victory to my mind and leads me to worship and praise Him. Purpose in your heart to seek God when the battle comes.
I wrote this poem and I prayerfully ask God to bring victory to you!
God will always bring His glory into your gloom…His light into your darkness…Because He loves you!
