Looking through past Journaling I ran across a page I am
typing out and putting in my new file called…”preaching the Gospel to
myself”. It’s designed to reinforce the
Truth to replace lies that come my way daily.
As a Born Again Believer we have all the resources we need
to live the Abundant Life successfully each day. I am sharing it with you thinking you might
want to put it somewhere where you can see it often or come back to this
location it will be here…
Typed just as I had it in my journal 12/10/92 here it is:
"Today my day feels like it is crumbling. The tasks at hand
are screaming in my face, bills over due drowning us, domestic tasks staring at me
waiting to be done, just normal everyday stress and my “Unique Flesh Patterns”
are trying to make me regress back to lies I have believed all my life, such as
“I am defeated”; “I can’t make it”; “my life is bad, no good” and finally “I AM
JUST BAD AND I AM TO BLAME”. The spiral of depression is
overtaking me going down and down until I am buying into the lies…again.
BUT wait a minute
STOP…. At this moment I am realizing what is going on under the radar. I WILL take command of my thoughts! I WILL change my thinking.
I CHANGE MY THINKING
from “stinking thinking” to “a healthy mindset of the TRUTH”….
I claim that God created me. Christ is my life. He has given me my life and I have a choice. I
can choose to live with a defeated attitude and in despair under these circumstances at hand... or...
I can live above them in victory as He has provided. The choice is mine…
I reinforced my thinking that day as I wrote this out in my Journal. It was to keep near me and review.
It is copied from “Prayers That Avail Much” pg 38…
“ I am a Spirit, I have a Soul and I live in a Body. My Spirit is the candle of the Lord. God is
my Father, is guiding me in the way I should go in all the affairs of
life. He leads me by an inward
witness. The eyes of my understanding
are being enlightened. Wisdom is in my
inward parts. His love is perfected in
me. I have unction from the Holy
One.
I am becoming spirit-conscious. I listen to the voice of my spirit and obey
what my spirit tells me. I let my spirit
dominate me, for I walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit. I examine my leading in the light of His
Word. I trust in the Lord with all my
heart and lean not on my own understanding.
In all my ways I acknowledge Him and He directs my paths. I walk in the light of God’s Word.
I will educate and train and develop my human spirit. The Word of God shall not depart out of my
mouth. I meditate there in my day and
night. Therefore I shall make my way
prosperous, and I will have good success in life. I am a doer of the Word and put God’s Word
first. My spirit man is in the
ascendancy..... I live in the Heavenlies with Him!
