Hello Again!

Sorry so long since my last post on this page. I have been blogging with the schmibrosblog quite a bit and haven't really put much time into this one. I will try and do a better job in the near future!

I hope this blog finds everyone well and happy! I am currently reading a book by Joyce Meyer called "Battlefield of the Mind" Basically it is a book about the power of positive thinking and is full of scriptures from the Bible. Very well put together, and speaks of speaking life and peace not only into your own life, but into the lives of those around you. How to not let someone else's bad attitude ruin your day. Anda reminder that there is an enemy of our souls that will do anything to keep us miserable.

I would like to add that although we need to be mindful that the devil exists, I have personally found it to be very harmful to try and focus too much attention on the devil's war methods. There are some sects of christians that say that you have to know the mind of the devil in order to protect yourself. I disagree. I know for a fact from personal experience that overfocusing on the enemy will eventually get your eyes off of the Master and Saviour of us all and could prove to be not only emotionally but even physically harmful for all involved.

It is by far more important to keep your focus on Christ and Heavenly Father. Jesus won the battle on the Cross, and now all I have to do is walk in the light of His Love for me. I am not saying to be ignorant. But I am saying that the LORD inhabits the praises of His people. Not only our prayers, but our songs of praise and adoration. Even sacrificial praises, when you really don't feel like giving Him your love, to do so anyway. He will help and guide you thru the dark times in your life, and may make the load seem lighter to you, but HE will not always immediately take it from you because there is something for you to learn from the experience.

So, if the devil knocks on your door; just say, "Jesus, could you get that for me, please?" In other words, have your heart, mind, and spirit so focused on the LORD that you don't have time to mess with satan and his games. You will discover that while you are so focused on Christ that if the enemy does try and come to call, the Spirit of the LORD will guide and protect you.

God Bless!
