Who Will Win the War Within?

     If I continued to believe the negative words that were spoken into my life, I would be dead and gone. You see, sometimes we allow our past and those who are no longer apart of our present to maintain power and control over our lives. I know this situation all to well.

      But there came a time in my life where I had to challenge those negative thoughts that took root within me. I had to make an honest effort to war against the tyranny that I allowed to rage within my mind. I knew deep within that if I did not fight, the brokenness inside would continue to damage and destroy the essence of my soul.

I began to challenge those thoughts by pressing into my heart that my mistakes and the wrongs done against me do not define my core self. I turned my attention to the thoughts that God had for me. I began to engage myself, something that I was not accustomed to doing because my focus was always geared toward what other people wanted and expected of me. I began to see myself as the blessing that I truly was and am. Now this battle for me is an ongoing one but by challenging these thoughts, it has enabled me to build up a resistance. I am building the tenacity to stand a little longer. Each day that I build myself in the Lord, my soul strengthens.

   So now, I call on you to join me and challenge that which tries to bind you. Seek to reclaim the abundant life that was promised. Renew your mind, by believing, with your whole heart, God's thoughts toward you. This my friend, is the beginning of your new battle plan.
