The voice in me

The real battle in life is right inside of us. Have always heard this statement, read about it, sang it, wrote about it,  but it had never really sunk deep.

Had a chat with my God given mentor, telling them my plans the way I always do, but with a sprinkle of ‘negativity ‘. Was told there and then , that I need to stop with my current vocabulary and cultivate my faith. It’s as if am doubting everything before starting . Was reminded that the Bible says a double minded person is unstable in all his ways. Also tells us that such should not expect to recieve from God ( James 1).  And guess what, for the greater part of my life , all my decisions have not been stable, life itself hasn’t been as stable not to mention the list of unanswered prayers or let’s say yet to be answered prayers.

I had to take some time to think,  why do I have this negativity towards life . In my mind  seeds were sown , by the devil ofcause. And these are some of the lies that have been controlling my life

1.  I will only recieve what God wants me to have not what I want.

2. I always desire the wrong thing , which is not good for me so God will not provide.

3. Nomatter what effort I put, there is something in my life, like a curse, that will make it all meaningless or unfruitful . So I don’t necessarily succeed in anything .

These are like the top 3 strongholds that the devil put in my mind. Coming from that mindset, planning anything ahead ,is already starting on self doubt and not even sure if God has my back.

I discovered mine and am working on changing that. And yes might share the journey here.

How about you,  what is controlling your life right now . What sets the bars for you? Victory from these start by you recognizing that there are certain strongholds in your life and it all starts in the mind.

Cheers!
