Day Devotion The weapons we use in our fight are not the world’s weapons, but God’s powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.” GNBUK There are times in life when we feel entangled, overwhelmed and trapped by negative thoughts and the challenges that are causing the pain. Do you realize that the prison you’ve created for yourself will only become more and more draining until you barely have the strength to function? The power of healing from these destructive forces lies with God, through the blood of Jesus Christ. You may feel completely lost now, but remember, God has your back. He will help you to put every negative (false) believe on ‘trial’ and disprove it. For example: you say: “I am worthless”. This is a negative thought that can profoundly influence your behavior. You may wonder where this thought came from; well some originated in childhood where you suffered emotional neglect, perhaps someone said something (calling it a joke or sarcasm) but you experienced it as criticism and only fed this negative thought that you are not really of any value. The time has come now, while you still have the good sense to take control of your life, to sweep away these false beliefs like you would do with dust in your house. The scripture tells us that it is a war; a war against the false beliefs ingrained by external factors. You need to take control of your life and ignore the negative input in the name of Christ. Remember NOTHING is impossible with God. He knows you and understands your pain. Just NEVER GIVE UP believing, trust God and don’t be in such a hurry to solve your problems. God will patiently wait until the right time to show His power in your life.
