Each day our minds are bombarded with a constant stream of nagging thoughts, suspicions, doubts and fears. While any one of these can cause defeat and devastation, we are often plagued by more than one…filling our daily lives with mental combat against an array of aggressors. Since we fail to identify the battlefield, we also fail to correctly identify our foe. We tend to believe people, money, religion or the system are our problems. In an attempt to defend ourselves, we build strongholds in our mind. Strongholds are areas of thinking not based on truth but lies. Instead of protecting us, they actually imprison us. Unless we renew our mind, we risk continuing to believe those lies and making important decisions based on deception. When the Truth illuminates whats inside of us, its sometimes hard to accept. Its a painful process to face our deceptions and deal with them. Its so easy to allow our past and how we were raised to negatively affect us for the rest of our lives. Our past may explain why were suffering, but we must not use it as an excuse to stay in bondage. You may have some major strongholds in your life that need to be torn down. Let me encourage you by saying, God is on your side. There is a war going on, and your mind is the battlefield. But the good news is that God is fighting on your side! AMEN AMEN.
