WHERE IT BEGINS

-

Proverbs 4:23 

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life. 


Every believer should understand that the battle begins with the mind, our thoughts are the breeding source of all that become effective in our lives.


When we look at the temptations of Jesus we see that it is not just a literal walk with the enemy to exchange discourse but dropping of thoughts to cause Him to take certain actions. The same thing we face day after day. The enemy drops suggestions for us to pick up and act on. Eve also faced the same at the garden of Eden.


Now, it is not all about the enemy! This thought thing is not only about temptations to do evil, it includes revelations to do great things!


So when we guard our hearts from evil thoughts we fill it with good thoughts, the starting and continual filling is with the Word of God.


Romans 12:2 

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.


For our mind is active and was not meant to be totally silent, NO, this is why we don't just clear it but fill it with the right things, for if it is empty we expose it to things that may not be acceptable. Help us Lord.


So, that idea, that skill, that knowledge that can help you fulfill God's purpose in your life, that can help you be a blessing to others and even turn your, business, company, society or nation around, has a place in your mind, so kick out all other mundane things not excluding hate, envy and malice, then fill in what is right.


The battle begins in the mind, so start the winning from the starting point. Let praise always be in your heart.


Ephesians 5:19

singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.


So,


Philippians 4:8

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
