My mind and I



“MY MIND AND I

There’s this ongoing battle in my mind

It’s the struggle between my body and my mind.
When my body is happy my mind is happy
When my body is not happy my mind switches to an unhappy mode.

Many times I struggle to calm my mind down
Many times I struggle to speak hope to mind
Many times I try to coach or tell my mind what my spirit man is telling me.

But my mind doesn’t seem to want to listen to me

I often ask my mind ‘’Why are you troubled and why are you so unhappy within me?”

My mind points me to my body.
My mind asks me another question “Why is your body so unhappy?”

My minds says to me: “I’m unhappy because your body is unhappy”

Oftentimes when my mind refuses to listen to me
I pick up a quarrel with it.
I say “mind whether you are happy or not you must listen to what my spirit man is saying”:
“Himself (Jesus Christ) took your infirmities”
“By His stripes (Jesus Christ) you were healed
“The chastisement of your peace was placed upon him”

My mind listens quietly to me as I instruct it to obey the word of my Saviour
My mind quietens down a bit and peace returns to my mind for that moment.

This has become a circle and my story in the past months.

My prayer:
Lord I receive abundant grace, supernatural strength, an overcoming grace to keep fighting this fight of faith.
Knowing that I have victory because of what you have achieved for me on the cross over 2000 years ago!
Thank u Lord!”

IN MY SLEEP LAST NIGHT

The feeling i had at the time these words came to me was like the words dropped from head to my heart. My understanding was opened. The meaning of these words were given to me, I believe, in a different way than i knew them. Mind you, this would not be the first time i've had this kind of experience. I remember some years ago, i was at a church service, i had a similar experience, when i heard the bible verse, "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24) Although i'd read and heard this verse several times prior to this day, i have never understood it in the way i did on that memorable day. Of course, i took hold of it and applied it to a situation i was going through at the time. Needless to say the result was amazing. glory to GOD! So going bac...
