: winning the battle of heart and mindSunday, Jan 10 2010
While January calls us to move forward in our lives, there is an unseen enemy that would stop us in our tracks. Truth be known, "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and evil in the heavenly realms." It's time to wake up and win the battle for heart and mind.
- When you have life struggles (or new year's resolutions) do you think in terms of a spiritual battle or just a material /physical battle? Do you struggle with believing in a spiritual dimension to life?
- What proactive measures do you practice in order to keep yourself safe against temptation and spiritual attack?
- Have you ever tried to convince God that your way was right or better than God's way? Can you elaborate?
- What compromise are you currently tolerating in your life that needs to be brought into line with God's way of living? Who is in your "caravan" that can help?
- Describe specifically how you maintain "radio contact" with God through prayer and the word each day. What can you do to improve that vital link?
- What well-worn life rut do you need to change, and what alternative route will you pursue to help in overcoming your battle for heart and mind?
