God is Fighting for You: Recognize These Divine Signs

We all have people that come against us make negative comments and try to discredit us or belittle us has someone misjudged you spread rumors or hurt you one way or another our human nature naturally wants to set the record straight and fight back even as Believers we Face battles times of intense Temptation doubt fear and anxiety Sometimes we think we can fight for ourselves we can end it all once and for all but the problem with this approach is as soon as you get one straightened out three more will pop up there will always be

an opposition a battle over Health money work or relationship and if you're constantly trying to fight for yourself you'll get distracted exhausted and even defeated Human strength is limited compared to God's Supernatural strength where our life battles are involved the greatest challenge many Christians face is letting God fight the battle for us if you're going to let God fight for you you have to submit your will totally and completely to him I know the thought of not being in control of everything is frightening it's not something we're used to because We've been told for years

that we need to be brave and learn to do things on our own when it comes to spiritual warfare we're not the ones fighting the enemy it's God who fights through us as long as you're fighting for yourself the true Defender the most high God will step back he'll let you do it your way but when you make this decision God I'm turning this over to you I'm not going to spend my life worried about what someone's saying wasting my energy trying to change their mind upset because they don't like me God I know you're

fighting my battles that's when the creator of the universe God will go to war on your behalf when people try to push you down God will lift you up the Bible says in Exodus 14 14 the Lord himself will fight for you you won't have to lift a finger in your defense Picture this scene the Israelites have been delivered from slavery in Egypt and God was leading them by a pillar of cloud by day in a fire by night he leads them to the edge of the Red Sea basically a dead end they've got this

massive body of water in front of them and behind them an Egyptian Army that wants to overtake them when you find yourself at a dead end Like the Israelites you can rest assured that God will fight for you my friend if only you will trust him and so the Israelites began to panic they say what do we do we're about to be recaptured this is going to be the end for us and God says to them just be silent I am going to fight for you what happens after that God does what only he can

do he splits the sea in half so you got a wall of water on two sides Then he leads his people through on dry land how is that possible it's only possible because of the supernatural power of God the Lord will fight for you he fought for his people and they didn't bother lifting a finger in their defense so think about your current struggles the challenges you're going through the times you don't see a way through the opposition in your times of great sadness and bereavement Dear believer be rest assured because God has promised to

fight those battles for you Isaiah 41 13. for I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you do not fear I will help you are you beginning to see the picture there are many similar stories in the Bible where God and all his power save the people who loved him God will fight for you but the only thing you need to do is stay still Other translations of Exodus 14 14 says the Lord will fight for you you need only be still do you wake up every day

in anguish over a besetting lust or habit do you live in torment thinking this awful thing is still alive in me God knows all about the sin remaining in your heart and he knows how you hate it and have wept over it God is aware of the addictions you're facing God knows about your opposition Now he wants you to hear these words as put down by the psalmist Psalm 28 7. the Lord is my strength and my shield my heart trusts in him and he helps me my heart leaps for joy and with my song

I praise him because of this David could say I will fear no evil the devil would get the victory if he could just convince David to be afraid have you realized that this is how he Tricks us too he wants you to be afraid that you'll not be helped once you agree he gets the best of you and you remain a slave to his manipulations God is saying to you if you're grieving or hurting fear not and do not be dismayed you will not need to fight in this battle stand firm Hold Your Position and

see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf you may be asking but what am I to do How can I have the Lord's peace and rest in all this you need only to be still you need only to hold your peace and remain at rest you don't have to raise a finger what does it mean to be still how does being still affect God's ability to work on my behalf it says in Psalm 46 10. he says be still and know that I am God I will be exalted among the Nations I will be

exalted in the Earth When you do not stand still and you tend to get into the fight while God's trying to fight for you this often disrupts the way things work you need to remember that God's ways are not man's ways as the heavens are higher than the earth so God's ways and God's thoughts are higher than our human ways have you ever had thoughts that God's going too slow so you want to do things yourself Is that you dearly beloved if it is you should learn from Abraham when Abraham and Sarah tried to help

God things didn't turn out quite as they had hoped and the consequences split across the ages but when they Stood Still and allowed God to work things out on their behalf they not only got exactly what they wanted but they also became part of a miracle being still means being willing to wait It means putting your agenda aside and allowing God to work on the perfect plan he has for you steps to stand still and let God fight for you read God's word God gave us the Bible to help us learn about him remind us

of his promises and give us hope in this Dark World as we read his word we learn what the Bible says about resting in God because scripture clearly shows us that God loves us he is with us he knows what he's doing after all if God could send plagues to release an enslaved nation and park the Red Sea to lead them to safety then he can also deliver you from whatever you may be going through if he could take over a city just through the sound of trumpets defeat an army of tens of thousands with

only 300 men save three men from a blazing furnace And raise Jesus from the dead then he can handle anything that comes our way reading God's word is how we begin to find God and how we learn to rest in him practice obedience as Christians we're called to walk in obedience when we're being obedient we're also being still in God's presence obedience challenges your flesh it takes Humility and love to obey him wholeheartedly through obedience you're telling God that you depend on him and Trust his wisdom regardless of what you feel or think otherwise and

if there's anything God loves to do it's showing himself faithful to those who obey and like we'll see shortly those who trust him completely trust God while this seems like a no-brainer Trusting God takes a whole lot of effort just like obedience it takes faith it takes Faith to allow the Lord to fight your battles learning to rest in God is built on the foundation of knowing your help comes from God alone and knowing he has what it takes to give you victory trusting God means taking a step back from The Ring to allow him

to step in not trying to fight alongside him but Resting in his love and confidence while he takes down your enemies praise and thanksgiving Focus your heart mind and soul on God praising him for his great power might and love what is this it is a great form of standing still it requires you to take your eyes off the intensity of your challenges and to place it on who God is and how faithful he's always been both to you and to all his people True praise and thanksgiving gives birth to peace and great miracles Isaiah

26 3. you will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you whose thoughts are fixed on you as you praise God things begin to happen in the Unseen Realm in the Old Testament the people of God didn't have the name of Jesus as a weapon but they did have praise praise is like an incense that's released up into heaven as you engage in Praise God smells the incense like a form of a sacrifice and he Springs into action immediately indeed when we choose to rest on God through praise his power to deliver arises praise

moves God into action so instead of complaining pass the time thinking about and thanking God instead declare his greatness above your situation while you wait to see his demonstration in your life finally how to let God fight your Battles practice patience you've probably heard it before patience is a virtue if you struggle in this area and find yourself becoming impatient remind yourself that God's timing is best remind yourself that the Lord will fight for you if you'll only be still long enough dear Saint you have to remind yourself that when God fights for you there

are No repercussions or Fallout everything is perfect with no consequences for anyone who stands still and waits patiently on God God knows how to fight for his children it says in Psalms touch not my anointed you may not feel like it but you are God's anointed you may be in a situation where there's disrespect people pushing you down opposition all around you and you don't think it's ever going to change Get ready your time is coming God has heard every negative word spoken against you he's seen every person that's tried to hold you back Vindication

from God Is On The Way promotion is coming new levels are coming God is going to make new things happen that you could never make happen and he's preparing that table in the presence of your enemies God knows how to fight for you why don't you put that challenge in his hands you Have a Defender already God can do it better than you he knows how to bring Justice he knows how to vindicate you nothing can stand against God whatever you face in life if you'll just hold your peace and remain at rest God promises

he'll fight your battles he will make a way even when you don't see away God has a track record as evidenced in scriptures to fulfill his word and he can always be validated on the Premise of his word men may go back on their words but the almighty God is a god of integrity so believe trust and depend on God with your whole heart let God fight your battles he has never lost one of the best things you can do for yourself once in a while is to sit down and evaluate yourself and your journey

in life sometimes we only look back for the Things we achieved or couldn't achieve the hurts or Joys we experienced the people we met and those we lost among many other things however is one area that seems neglected so often the health of our relationship with the Holy Spirit how that in itself shapes Our Lives outcomes I can give different citations to point out the importance of the holy spirit in the life of the Christian when we neglect him that is the Holy Spirit The Christian personally Bears the burden of that responsibility by his or

herself for example he is the believer's guide one of the things Jesus said the spirit would do in the lives of Believers is to guide us into all truth John chapter 16 verse 13 says but when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all the truth he will not speak on his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is Yet to come can you imagine driving in a new environment without someone to guide you or a GPS to tell you where you are and and

where you're going the outcome is that you're going to get lost you'll struggle more spend more time and even money than you would if you had someone to guide you a GPS or if you were familiar with the terrain if for this instance alone the believer you should never imagine life on your Own without the help of the Holy Spirit don't you agree you are not supposed to do Life by yourself you're not supposed to struggle the way you have so far you're not supposed to live as if you have no one when your father

is the monarch of the entire universe God is promised to help you Isaiah 41 13 says for I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you do not fear I will help You why do you need God's help you need God's help because you cannot do Life by yourself or on your own for too long you will wear yourself out over time if you try it's made it clear to his disciples when he said without me you can do nothing we need him as much as the air

we breathe we need God's help the way a branch needs the tree to survive without connection to God through his Spirit you and I will just wear out like a broken Branch so many sufferings in your life would have been short-lived if only you'd let the Holy Spirit help you God has promised to help you no matter what it is you're dealing with now God has provided help for you question is are you aware or taking advantage of that help John chapter 14 verses 16 through 18 says and I will ask the father and he

will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever the spirit of Truth The world cannot accept him because it neither sees him nor knows him but you know him for he lives with you and will be in you I will not leave you as orphans I will come to you you see the world cannot have or take advantage of the work of the Holy Spirit the way the Christian can why because they cannot connect with him to them he is not real but to the true child of God he is he

is God living in you comforting nurturing training inspiring strengthening Directing and purifying you from the inside he is Jesus Christ in you guiding you towards the Finish Line after Crossing it himself the holy spirit is the source of the character of the new creature in Christ this means whatever transformation you notice in your life or in the life of anyone in Christ Jesus is the result of the inner working of the holy spirit in side of them when the Apostle Paul was saying he Could do all things through Christ strengthening him what was he talking

about how was Jesus Christ strengthening him he was working in men through his Spirit residing within them so as long as he lived within us we were connected to Jesus and can receive everything from him I can keep going on but I cannot over emphasize this you need the help of the Holy Spirit to survive life and emerge victorious in the end Struggling and let the Holy Spirit help you what are you struggling with in your life right now are you going from one failed decision after another not knowing what to do or why it's

not working does depression overwhelm you so much but you have to constantly keep a happy face because of society are you being overwhelmed by Family responsibilities or crisis around your life and it's Falling apart bit by bit with nowhere to turn the Bible tells us that in the last days Darkness will cover the Earth Isaiah chapter 60 verse 2 says see Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples but the Lord Rises upon you and His Glory Appears over you today we can see this Darkness more than ever it's all over the

media it's all over many marriages it is all over many Governments and economies it is all over many individuals and Families darkness in this context is anything contrary to light and contrary to God hence when the Bible says it will cover the Earth it is telling us that we will see many manifestations in today one significant form is depression all the suicide a addictions divorces infidelity negative influence from Bad Company anger issues riots and lots more in statistics today can be traced to Sorrow and depression overwhelming individuals and Families you may be listening to my

voice right now and struggling for your life without anyone knowing about it you may be listening to my voice while contemplating the best way to end your Misery by taking your own life someone may be planning a social gathering with friends meet and greets and community service while struggling to breathe emotionally Someone else may not have any of these issues however he or she just wants to be accepted the way they are the way God made them not the way Society wants them to be look around you some of the people you label as bad

people because they arrogantly choose a lifestyle contrary to God and are trying to force you to accept them did not start this because they knew it was the right thing to do they just want to be seen they wanted to be heard so they choose a very loud Lifestyle of course one the devil takes advantage of to corrupt and Destroy however I want you to see that struggles are real and it will continue to rain if you do not let the Holy Spirit help you you may say I don't have any struggles in my life

I am better than those who do I don't have any struggles and so I do not need the holy spirit's help careful so you do not deceive yourself no one can survive the wickedness chaos and struggles of this life without God's Help and how best to help you than to be with you himself that my friend is the work of the Holy Spirit if you're struggling with the trauma right now he wants to help you if you're struggling with an addiction a fear a broken heart confusion acceptance and anything he wants to help you will

you let him help you maybe you're thinking how does the Holy Spirit help anyone There's No Limit or fixed method for the help of the Holy Spirit I will be lying to you to say I know all the ways the Holy Spirit can help you you see the way he helps me might differ from how he helps you at the end it is not how he does it but what he does that matters your question therefore should not be how can the Holy Spirit help me but instead how can I allow him to help me

when we ask the wrong question we should not expect the right answers if you need The right answers then you should start asking the right questions how can you let the Holy Spirit help you I will share four reliable ways to give the Holy Spirit free course to set into your situation and remove your burdens or struggles making it lighter for you to bear you must realize that giving the Holy Spirit Room to help is giving the godhead free course to take over your situation Number one believe that he is with you is willing to

help and has the ability to do so whatever struggle you want to give God must be presented in the package of Faith the Bible says that the righteous person lives by their faith faith not in things people places or status but in God you've got to believe that God's spirit God himself is there within you as he promised is interested in your struggles and can take them away I remember talking about the lady who Did not know God was interested in the security of her Farm produce she had told me about how all her efforts

to keep thieves away were failing then I asked have you handed this over to God in prayers her reply was is God interested in these kind of things I had to sit her down and show her that he is interested in the littlest details of Our Lives because he is our father and he loves us dearly that was the last time she complained About that issue I don't think they ever stole from her Farm again dear Saint you have to know that he wants to remove your struggles and give you peace he wants to help

you lighten your weight he wants you to know that sometimes what you need is not relief from the burden but strength to Bear it and that's what he gives you you have to believe believe that he is there and wants to help Hebrews chapter 11 verse 6 and without faith it is impossible to Please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him number two transfer your struggles to him in the place of Prayer after settling the matter of belief the next thing to

do to give the Holy Spirit free control is to prayerfully submit your struggles to him through prayer we invite him into our situation through prayer we say God this is no longer in my hands but in yours Have you ever wondered why Satan wants to keep you and I from praying so much he does everything within his power to keep you distracted so that you don't pray you see he knows that when you pray he no longer has you to deal with now he has to deal with God and His angels too never conclude on

an issue you have given over to God and never complain about a matter you have never talked to him about Philippians chapter 4 verse 6 don't be Anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with Thanksgiving present your request to God number three learn the art of waiting on him after believing and submitting to God in prayers about your struggle the next thing is to learn to wait on him one of the hardest things to do is waiting on God we can easily wait for a space to park our cars a plan

to grow and a baby to be born then to wait on God however waiting is proof of faith in God not only so with the Holy Ghost when we wait on him we open ourselves to be guided or LED in the right direction you could take some time off away from food or entertainment or any form of distractions this helps weaken your physical senses and build up your spiritual connectivity with the spirit of fasting helps you hear or receive from the Holy Spirit Fasting also helps you gain Clarity in the will of God receiving both

the sense of direction and the strength to obey when instructions come from above many times we can trust a counselor a therapist then we do the Holy Spirit however if you and I can begin to give him as much time and prayer and in the word fasting meditating not allowing our emotions to drive us we will have fewer mistakes and more job Chapter 14 verse 14. If someone dies will they live again and the days of my hard service I will wait for my renewal to come before replace your worries with praise lastly on this

list replace your worries with praise this is one of the most underrated ways of allowing the Holy Spirit to help you story of Paul and Silas in prison and of the Israelites against the Three Kingdoms Who Rose up against them is proof that when you resolve to praise God in the midst of your struggles you automatically Usher him into the situation and you rise above them I have seen people come out of unfavorable conditions in impossible situations with the power of praise family members got their sick sibling off the sick bed while praising God over

their weak body people have had their bills paid after locking themselves up alone with God just just praising him Praises therapeutic it has a way of filling your heart with joy and peace and confidence knowing that God is in control do you know why this works over murmuring and complaining because when you praise you announce the greatness of God and of his works as you declare the greatness of the one inside you his Joy will fill your heart and begin to bring strength he takes your attention from the problem and puts it on himself And

you know when God takes up your issue changes must come he can touch the heart of anyone for your sake the spirit of God can reach anybody and change any situation for your favor now what do you have to do you have struggled enough it's time to allow the spirit of God to show you the next thing to do as you step back and watch him turn things around for your good situations are core constituents of Life The Myriad of problems and issues of Life are not strange nor are they so unique that they are

one of a kind no at most they can only be described as rare the Bible speaks to soothe the children of God so by telling us Ecclesiastes 1 verse 9. the thing that hath been it is what which shall be and that which is done is that which shall be done and there is no new thing under the sun There will always be the merging of cold with hot in the Earth this standard of poor and Wealthy that of sickly and healthy this reality is completely part of existing in earth as a being created by

God knowing that in the same way light is evident Darkness too is available for as much as there is pain and suffering even more so is the reality of life in pleasure and Comfort the Bible explains vividly these seasons are there is definitely going to be one season and definitely going to be another one in its wake Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verses 1 through 8. to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven a time to be born and a time to die a time to plant and a time to

pluck up that which is planted A Time to Kill and a time to heal a time to break down and a Time to build up a time to weep and a time to laugh a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to Cast Away stones and a time to gather Stones together at a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing a time to get and a time to lose a time to keep and a time to Cast Away a time to Rend and a time to sow a time to

keep silence and a time to speak a time to love and a time to hate a time Of war and a time of Peace this truth from every word of God paints a clear contrast between what is good and what is not what is pleasurable and what is not and what is profitable and what is not but it does not stop there it goes all the way to show us that both extremes have time allotted to them both hence there is no man under the sun who will only experience the good side of life all

through his existence here on The path of the living in the same way there is an end for the one who has suffered such bad occurrences for so long there is an end Proverbs 23 verses 17 through 18. let not thine heart Envy sinners but be thou in the fear of the Lord all day long for surely there is an end and thine expectation shall not be cut off you are if living in a wild fantasy with no hope for reality for as surely as the pain The loss the poverty the sadness and the guilt

you are experiencing right now are real you cannot miss your mark to encounter the other side of this current reality there is a time for good things too the one who is aware of this truth cannot be robbed by the enemy he is fully equipped with his right in Christ and has refused to have the enemy exert over him by remaining in deep Trust of God and in Hope continually and unfailingly God cannot fail you your current situation and condition do it defines your permanent reality Dear Son and Daughter of God because you are poor

and underprivileged right now does not mean that you are kept away forever in the shadow to always remain in abject poverty slum existence and loss you may be on the floor right now but you are not permitted to remain on the floor you are not permitted to remain in Want hopelessness and pain you are not permitted to end as a beggar a disgrace and on the low ends of life in existence God was very deliberate about the creation of the universe making sure that the light and darkness existed apart emphasizing that as surely as there

is Darkness light also exists even in such amazingly huge capacity you cannot stand up to the side of God And end up a casualty in life an object of pity and regret for all of those around you you cannot genuinely follow and pursue after God and not end your life in Bliss and splendor God's plan for you is to give you an expected end an end that has been properly prepared in history as one of the most remarkable existence of a man and a woman who have crossed the face of the Earth God is supremely

deliberate about you You are not wasting away on the pile of Misfits who has no certain good end God wants to make such an inspirational story out of your life that the world will Quake at the rich display of the unique purpose and power of God in your life to make you become a wondrous star among so many you have not been made to exist as a pauper all the days of your life but as an inspirational story that is living and breathing Who Against All Odds Rose from the dung of depression repression and retrogression

into such a beautiful future that it is almost impossible for people to relate you of today with the image of you in the past who toiled and bled just to barely make ends meet so many have toiled and toiled all their days in Desperate quest of fulfillment and joy all to no avail for the very thing which they desired to Encounter through diverse means in hardship and long-suffering has always eluded them they may gain so much riches but only to spend in the place of Health situations and medical complexities these situations are very real and

are not rare in the world today many people only have so much that they can use to solve problems that are continuously arising in their lives many cannot even find any resource by Which to survive and end up becoming slaves to loan sharks and other loan agencies spending resources they do not have until the flow of resources into their lives dries up completely so many others have almost given up completely because of the overwhelming situations of their lives that they are almost completely convinced they will never arise beyond that situation or condition I don't know

what bad crisis You're facing right now I don't know how severe the issue with your Finance is right now I don't know how broken up or shattered your spiritual life is right now I don't know just how much rupture and fracture your academics has suffered over time I don't know to what extent things have fallen I am here to remind you that this is not the end of you you will not end in pain poverty and Lack you will not end in shame you will not lose everything your home will not be dissolved your marriage

is not going to suffer another divorce that child will not continue as a dull one all the days of his life this is alive over the broken bone and broken body of yours you will not end in pain and die miserably Everyone May abandon you but Jesus will not Isaiah 41 17-18 when the poor and needy seek water and there is none and their tongue faileth for thirst I the Lord will hear them I the god of Israel will not forsake them I will open rivers in high places and fountains in the midst of The

Valleys I will make the Wilderness a pool of water and the dry land Springs of water He is prepared to go all out with you Beyond where that parent that partner that sibling is prepared to go every human being out there today has a bottom line to how much help they can possibly render and how long they can remain accessible to give a hand when that time comes they will all leave as naturally as they came this truth is consistent with every human being out there including you That no matter how nice resilient thoughtful kind

or full of sympathy they are they all will ultimately cave and will at some point in time in existence redraw their help and support despite how strongly they once felt and believed in that cause only God can guarantee on wavering help and support to any man or to any cause Jesus is determined to remain with you to help you to heal you to stay with you As you recover and fully ready to get back at life yet even then he will not leave you to yourself this is not how you will live out the rest

of your days the path of the just can only get brighter proverbs 4 verse 18. but the path of the just is as The Shining Light that shineth more and more unto the perfect day you will not end in The endless Mirage of Gloom and sadness that currently surround you on all sides there is indeed light at the end of the tunnel for you without fail I know the path is curved dangerously for so long and has succeeded in convincing you that darkness is all that settles on the horizon but stay awake Jesus is Lord

over your life and its destiny you cannot be killed cheaply and destroyed without consequence You cannot be raided from the place of glory and wealth in which you belong into poverty and loss all the rest of your life behold look up dear one the light shines ahead the sun rises up the Horizon your long-awaited change has finally come your long-awaited success has finally arrived your night of pain and sorrow your night of tears and secret heartbreak has finally reached its Crescendo the final lap of negativity is finally over here Begin The Chronicles of good news

that shall overwhelm and saturate your life here Begins the Deluge of divine health and love you will experience that will completely swallow up the years of famine and lack you have experienced until now the unique favor and mercy of God that sets you up for innumerable increases is finally here Jesus has guaranteed this for you you have been called away from the dark place of want and lack to the high places of surplus and blessings you have been removed from the low ends of Barely getting by to the highlands of having more to give and

help others around you and Beyond Your former scope your days of Sorrow are numbered dear blessed child of God you cannot remain for the rest of time in this sad region of pity and hopelessness there is hope Even for you yes even you [Music] foreign yourself at war with a weapon in hand what do you think will happen to you when you don't know how to react to an enemy's attacks because you don't know about their weapon in the military combat training is not only about offense or about learning to use or fire your weapon

you're also trained on the different Kinds of assault weapons and tools that can be used by the enemy and what to do when you come face to face with them you're taught both offense and defense and the Art of survival through stealth among many other things all of these trainings make up a perfect Soldier similarly the mind is a very powerful weapon it unlocks into a world of possibilities not just as imaginations but also as an experience itself it's sad that Satan and the world know More about our minds than many children of God and

so he uses it against us when the mind is Idle unprotected or unguided Satan can attack it with negativities and when negatives are not dealt with they become weapons in the hands of the believer's enemy against him or her Beyond just being a tool for calculations and reasoning your mind has the ability to influence your Perspective your thought patterns and therefore your actions it's where we wage war with the devil if Satan successfully takes control of a person's mind he successfully runs their actions hence you must make sure that you're always on guard and actively

working to take control of territories in your mind where the devil intends to take over you may have experienced the situation where deep down within you you want one thing but you find yourself thinking About something entirely different and you end up taking the direction you thought about although you didn't want it at first because your mind was hooked on it long enough it created its own desire which affected your actions towards it herein lies the reason behind most struggles in the lives of many children of God they love God with all their hearts no

doubt about that they love the things of God's kingdom And they want to do right by God no doubt too however their minds have created a pattern which their lives follow instead of what their hearts truly desire Apostle Paul would write something in this Regard in Romans 7 21-24 I have discovered this principle of life that when I want to do what is right I inevitably do what is wrong I love God's law with all my heart but there is another power within me that's At war with my mind this power makes me a slave

to the sin that is still Within Me oh what a miserable person I am who will free me from this life that's dominated by sin and death although he would later share with us the glory of Deliverance and freedom found in Jesus Christ he made sure to let us know that this challenge is real your heart can be right with God and you may still be battling with negative Thoughts in your mind this is because there's a big difference between your heart your spirit man and your mind before salvation our spirit man is separate from

God because of the nature of sin we inherited from Adam the Bible called this state death you're not a sinner because you sinned alone but because you are born so hence even if you try as much as you can to be good your goodness is already corrupted By the nature existing in your DNA which is sin Romans 5 12 says when Adam sinned sin entered the world Adam's sin brought death so death spread to everyone for everyone sinned just like a pig one of its greatest characteristics is its attachment to mud and Muddy Waters a

pig is naturally comfortable in mud the way we would be in a Jacuzzi it's not because it's dirty or it likes Being dirty but because that's its nature you can't tame that out of it you can raise the pig in a palace dress it all up educate it as much as you can but sooner or later it will give in to its nature Ephesians 2 12. in those days you were living apart from Christ you were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel and you did not know the Covenant promises God had made to

them you lived In this world without God and without hope a nice sinner is still a sinner and will be condemned to Eternity without God in hell if he or she does not receive Jesus Christ in their hearts the introduction of Christ into your heart brought the god life into you converting you from a dead sinner at heart to a saint known by God and alive to Godliness through faith in Jesus Christ this is the greatest Miracle of All time that although nothing physical changed your entire spiritual identity was transformed the moment you turned to

Jesus and dedicated your life to follow him in faith there God wiped your slate clean of the past and spiritually gave you a brand new DNA this explains why you get troubled and unhappy with the ungodly things you were formally comfortable doing Because now you're alive and there's light in your heart however as beautiful as this salvation experience is it's instantaneous effect only occurred in your heart and not in your head that is your mind although Satan's lost control over your heart and life your mind will continue to follow the same path it's been programmed

with all your life your mind does not necessarily have a side my friend it's like a vehicle that Goes where it's directed to go chiefly by whoever's steering remember that your thoughts operate through your mind therefore you can be genuinely saved and still catch yourself thinking negatively and ungodly you can be genuinely born again and think that this will be the end of all negativities in your life only to find the doubt and fear in your mind struggling with the faith in your heart The lust and greed contending with Holiness and integrity in the anger

and hatred struggling with love and forgiveness hence one of the greatest questions on the minds of most Believers is this how do I deal with negative thoughts how do I find peace in a troubled mind I'm breaking down everything from scratch so that you can understand it better why is it so why do I have to deal with Negative thoughts well the Bible makes us understand that our spirit man needs salvation while our mind needs renewal it's your spirit that becomes born again not your mind your mind only needs to get renewed in the things

of the spirit so that both your spirit and your mind can be on the same frequency thereby making it easier for you to live the way God wants you to live and do the things he wants you to do Romans 12 2 says don't copy the behavior and customs of this world but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think then you will learn to know God's will for you which is good and pleasing and perfect negative thoughts are those thoughts that do not align with God's words sometimes they

may be outrightly sinful and other times they aren't for example a negative thought does not Only suggest Vengeance unforgiveness or lust it can also question your faith about a particular promise of God you're standing on a negative thought May trigger low self-esteem by causing you to doubt your own competence whether because of past failures or because of someone else's success the list is long however please remember a negative Thought is a weapon of the devil to rob you of your inheritance in Christ and take your focus away from God it exalts what's before you in

such a way that you no longer see what God's done or is doing in your life but what Satan places in front of you hence if Satan wants to bring negativity into your life he brings it to the battlefield if it succeeds and overcomes your defenses it'll find its way into your life I recommend the book The Battlefield of the Mind by Pastor Joyce Meyer the word of God tells us that after having been saved it's our responsibility to deal with these negative thoughts so that we can live peaceful lives with trouble-free Minds under the

Dominion of Christ Jesus our lord second Corinthians 10 3-5 we are human but we do not wage war as humans do we use God's Mighty weapons Not worldly weapons to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments we destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing god we capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ so how do you deal with negative thoughts and find peace and troubled Minds during troubled times first you can only deal with negative thoughts by replacing them not just with Any seemingly good thoughts

but mostly God's thoughts what are God's thoughts they're the fruits of God's word what has God said about the thing you're thinking about you can't beat the thought if you don't have God's Own weapon the secret to dealing with negative thoughts is in knowing that we can only win in this battlefield not with the same weapon of the enemy but with God's Weapon confronting the devil with natural mental laws will result in your defeat why because the devil is the master of the natural that is his Arena and he will beat you there to beat

negative thoughts you must use God's weapon his word know the word of God and spend time educating your spirit and mind with it through study and meditation don't read the Bible like a historical Or bedtime storybook approach it like your life manual your weapon of survival a portal into the mind of God it's been said that the works of a writer affords the reader the opportunity to look into his mind this is the same with God the Bible affords us the opportunity to not only look into God's mind but also to understand him understand ourselves

in Christ and walk in the path that carves out for Us to follow secondly apart from studying and meditating or thinking on the word of God you deal with negative thoughts by rebuking it in the name of Jesus so you refuse to walk in dishonesty not because you might not gain something from it but because you've seen from God's word that it's not your culture as a child of God so you cast down the idea and it never comes to light the same works with every other kind of Thought scriptures tell us that when we

rebuke the devil and stand firm against him in prayers he will flee practice the art of rebuking the negative thoughts you can't replace negative thoughts with positive ones without first removing them completely through the word of God you understand that you have the ability and the authority to cast out the devil now so take your stand by that Authority in the name of Jesus and say I refuse to Entertain these thoughts Satan you are a liar I choose to believe what God has said concerning me the word of God is true and life to me

so I command you be gone in Jesus name do this as often as possible in faith believing and you will begin to see the fruits lastly make it a habit to both surround yourself with channels of positive and godly information as well as speaking God's word to yourself It's been said that words are powerful expressions of our thoughts your spiritual climate is the result of both what you are listening to and what you're saying what you speak must agree with what your heart believes here's what happens to your mind if you successfully connect it to

your faith Isaiah 26 3. you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they Trust in you let the faith that comes through the discovery of God's promises in his word take root in your mind through meditation then let it flow through your confessions the more you Ponder on it like a bomb it begins to work on your mind bringing peace and healing Jesus said I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace in this World you will have trouble but take heart I have overcome the world

John 16 33 there is no peace anywhere outside Jesus therefore if you want it look on him through his word if that's the only thing I successfully communicate with you through this video then my work here is done when God's word takes root in your thoughts it neutralizes their effect strengthening your faith instead and Helping you walk in his peace I pray that this season you will obtain the grace to walk in the power of God's word and in the authority of Jesus name taking back every territory in your mind overrun by negatives in Jesus

name amen [Music] the attitude of Thanksgiving has been a proven weapon for believers since the days of creation one of the early lessons my mother Taught us while growing up as kids was the compulsory family morning devotions and night devotions every morning my mother would go around each of our rooms singing hymns as she woke us up for morning devotions and she would do the same at night when all her kids were back home we never missed any devotions regardless of what was happening in the house or who was there I picked it up and

when I went to high School my boarding house masters ensured we all woke up by 5am and we did personal devotions until 5 40 am every day of the week weekends included there's something fresh about waking and the first thing you do is talk to your father there's a level where you can begin to enjoy God's presence so much that you can literally not wait to wake up and just say thank you God many people go to bed at night with Heavy hearts carrying the burdens of the entire day with them it becomes very easy

to get discouraged from the attitude of waking up and thanking God because you are still feeling the pressures from the previous day the challenges from the night didn't go away in your sleep after all in such circumstances it is difficult to muster enough motivation to even wake up and thank God But listen to me child of God when all the chips are down when there is no other hope when life is too good to be true when life is so difficult that it does not feel like reality there is always a constancy in God which

is encapsulated in Psalms 30 4 sing to the Lord ye Saints of his give thanks for the memory of his holiness for his wrath lasts only a moment in his favor is life weeping may last all night but joy comes In the morning the night may have come with all the weight of responsibilities from the whole week but joy comes in the morning whenever I wake and see the breaking of the day I say thank you Lord says a song we learned in kids church waking up and forgetting everything that has happened and is still

happening and going to your father to say thank you regardless of everything is the application for your father to step into Your case many people go on to lay their complaints before God every time it is not wrong he is your father and your complaints should go to him but when you wake up in the morning make it a point of remembering that you want to only thank him for being God I am going to take you on a little journey to explain why you should thank God in the morning and if you pay close

attention to this trip you will realize That your life is in good hands and very safe too if you are ready for this journey let's go why should you thank God in the morning you guarantee your life's safety the Bible says in Psalms 50 23 whoso offereth praise glorifieth me and to him that ordereth his conversation a right will I shoe the salvation of God typical sacrifices in the Old Testament had to do with food items animals and other Forms of sacrifice but there came a time in the Old Testament when God began to long

for more than the physical things the children of Israel were burning this led to the scripture above if you read a little further up in Psalms 50 you'll see where God told the children of Israel that he couldn't eat the meat or drink the wines they poured in his honor so when you wake up in the morning and Offer your praise and worship to God you are glorifying him whenever you open your mouth to say father thank you for your love your protection and your backing you glorify him remember this is a journey so stay

with me so if you wake up in the morning and thank God it is your chance to glorify him and in the verse we just read he says he Will show the salvation of God hear me child of God your life becomes very safe in God's hands when you offer him sacrifices of Praise that glorify him the kingdom of God is run by covenants and principles you can almost always derive a formula from the workings of these principles for example in this scenario your praise and thanksgiving equal the glory of God and the glory of

God plus praise Guarantees your life is in the hands of God thanking God guarantees victory thanking God in the morning guarantees that God starts your day's Warfare with you in the story of the Israelites after God had sent them into slavery for years he sent Moses to rescue them and bring them back to him the greatest single journey in history started and the children of Israel faced Obstacles and many tribulations on their Journey to the promised land one such obstacle was a city called Jericho a walled Fortress that they needed to pass through on their

Journey but couldn't access but the Bible records in the Book of Joshua that every day for seven days the children of Israel rose up early in the morning and marched around the city of Jericho early every morning they Rose There's something about Rising early to engage in anything in the same Book of Joshua 6 15 it says but it came to pass on the seventh day that they Rose early about the dawning of the day and marched around the city seven times in the same manner on that day only they marched around the city seven

times and the seventh time it happened when the priests blew the trumpets Joshua said to the people shout for the Lord Has given you the city the rest of this story is history as we know it the city fell because the people Rose early to give thanks to God the Bible says they only shouted and sang which was enough for God to move into action hear me child of God you will not realize how much power God can bring around for your sake until you learn how to engage that power how to trigger that power

Thanking God in the morning releases God's love favor and presence throughout your day God speaking in Proverbs 8 17 and 18 says I love them that love me and those who seek me early shall find me I have riches and honor with me yes lasting riches and righteousness those who seek God early are opportune recipients of his presence which translates into so many things for Whoever receives that presence the entirety of God's existence is in his majesty and Glory which he bestows as his Supernatural presence around those who love him enough to seek him early

I woke in the morning to say father I am here to say I love you and I believe you have the best plans for me I trust you completely and I know everything that is happening is all from you and I am here to return that Thanksgiving to you is the key to unlocking the presence of God for more wonders ahead believe me when I say that many times you will get answers quicker than prayers just by thanking God as if you've just received the manifestations of that request so child of God he will win

battles that you do not even know about just by engaging God in the mornings from the days of creation the only times God instructed people to perform anything were in the mornings or the cool of the evenings when you wake up and remember everything that poses a challenge to you and went to bed on your mind the devil might creep into your thoughts to make you begin to question if God really loves you if he really loves you why would you be going through so much right now but listen to what the psalmist says in

this scripture Psalm 63 1 says o God you are my God early I will seek thee my soul thirsteth for thee my flesh Longs for thee in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water to see thy power and thy Glory as I have seen thee in the sanctuary David a man who understood the Covenant of Thanksgiving and Rose up early pinned wonderful Psalms to God and it shows how much he was in tune with the principles of Thanksgiving Here's a song by the famous Nigerian Pastor Dr Paul enenchy titled in a dry

and thirsty land that always blesses our hearts whenever it is played or sung in our gatherings a song that depicts how God's power glory and greatness that we see in our churches become manifest inside of you as a result of the Covenant of rising early to seek Him and thank him just like the morning sun the glory of God Rises with us and the very few People who know the secrets of effortless victories have made it a point of contact to meet with God every morning believe me when I tell you that any day I

rush off into my day without proper engagement with God in the morning my days usually do not go as well as they usually would there are so many battles that your heart cannot even capture them so many things control reality and many Times they are not even the causes we suspect But Rising up in the morning to give thanks to God guarantees that all those unseen battles are fought for you that is the realm of effortless victories the Bible and even God have warned us that there will be battles and that these battles will not

be carnal and that physical weapons are useless against them Thanksgiving is a show of humility meekness and surrender of the process the outcome and the glory to God when you wake up and you thank God you are telling him that you are aware of your inabilities without him then God speaking in the book of second chronicles 7 14 says if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their Wicked Ways then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive Their sin and will

heal their land remember this the glory of God is carried in his presence and his presence dwells among the praise of your mouth and your heart foreign
