Battle in the soul...

Its an individual who has to face each and every minute of Life... Yes Its me !! and its you too!!... Lot of changes that happen in life... But the fact is how happy am I???... Happiness is within... Its when I find myself safe and find peace within... Happiness is not about "thinking happy thoughts"...Most of the times I prefer having happy thoughts... feeling happy... But the leason to be learnt here is that,"do not run away from situations thinking everything is fine...!" You need to find out the proper solution for every situation in Christ! as per Col 3:17.


There will be things that I think I will do... things that I wish I could do... things I like to do... my opinions..!! but how does these things matter to God? Is He Happy? Yes in doing His will Iam very much delighted..! Being delighted means, being in Love and Joy that I experience in Him..! This Joy is more than just an emotion,... its the inner peace that helps me decide what is 'good' and what is 'bad' for me! Joy is the attitude of the heart...Joy is not based on something positive happening... Joy is something that lasts... Joy is something that God deposits into us through the Holy Spirit. The enemy tries everything in his power to steal the joy because it is that important. On the other hand, the enemy will tempt you with things that will temporarily give you happiness and at the same time drift you away from God...I have re-learnt this leason many times "Submit to God"... that's why I pray to Jesus that 'Lord, Help me find peace for whatever your will is..." Yes we donno what is in store for us, so be prepared and be at peace that He is under control...

Each time I have a desire... or a wish,I start creating a scenario of the future outcome... but that may not be the right thing for me!  As soon as I start dreaming of what I want, the inevitable fear of failure, of  "What if..." starts in my head. Next thing I do is I start having options for each "what if" and imagine scenarios as an excuse to justify that I dont have to worry... but deep down in my heart I knw... it will not work out this way...!! I have to find peace and I have to be happy and content with what I get... and what God gives me. I can't tell you how many times I've thought "Well, I'm not going to get excited.... but just in case if it doesn't work out. I don't want to be disappointed." Funny!!!...Silly me... though I have the solution for myself... I still find it difficult to submit... but immediatly I get convicted...and I remind myself Jer 29:11 :)

Guess what??? despite of the excitement and the axiciousness I have prior to anything happening in life, I am always safe and happy... because my God is in control... Plus, getting excited is part of increasing your FAITH in the LORD. Things may be obvious to turn out to be bad.., but that is when you need to manifest your FAITH... and Praise God....the future hasn't happened yet. The pivotal turning points in my life took place when I stopped lying to myself about what was possible

This war in the soul is real and what the scripture says about this in Eph6:12 is

Yeah... this war is real...!!!

Its not only on the strongholds that each person has...It is also about our thoughts... imaginations... negative thinking... many other things which does not build us in the LORD.

To win this battle we need to wear the armor of God. Ep6:10-18

We all need a reminder on this..!!
