It's All in Your Head
I decided to spend this week at home
just to rest. The plan was not to do anything serious except blog and pray.
Though I still had to do some runs it was a pretty slow week.
As I enjoyed my free time this turned
into something else. I would wake up feeling bored and all anxious. I looked
over my life and started to regret my actions and inaction. It seemed all the
sunshine had been nipped out of my life. I became critical and got sucked in
deeper into boredom. I was just helpless. I wondered how all joy seemed to have
vanished into thin air. I asked myself why I was feeling so hopeless.
It was as though what I had needed to be discouraged was just to take time off. I was drowning in a myriad of
emotions and these weren't good emotions. My flaws and short comings were
glaringly staring at me in the face. It was as though my life was all a big
joke.
Then I read a post on Facebook from
Rhapsody of Realities, it didn't tackle what I was going through but
after reading it it was as though a light bulb had been switched on in my head!
I realised that it was the enemy attacking me by putting discouraging thoughts
in my mind. He almost fooled me into thinking that those were my personal
thoughts. As he played on my mind my emotions must have responded.
As I came to this realisation I began
to rebuke the enemy and denounce his words. I began to confess the truth that is
God's words concerning my life. I took charge over the situation and watched
amazed as within a few minutes I was lighter, happier and full of life.
If you're going through this kind of
thing right now I want you to know that it's all in your head. Take charge of
your life and confess God's words over your life. Soak yourself in the Word of
God. It's not enough to routinely have your quiet time but also listen to faith
centred messages. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the Word of God. You don't
need to buy the lies the devil is selling you. Remember it is his full-time job
to steal, kill and devour who ever he can but Christ Jesus has come that we have
life and have it more abundantly. We have not been given a spirit of fear but of
love, power and of a sound mind.
