Taking Control Of Yourself

One of the most difficult facts that Christians have to realise is that before you can take control of the world, you have to first take control of yourself. It is easy to run out into the world and to start casting out demons and trying to control the devil, but deep down the devil may be more active in controlling you than you may give him credit for.

Take  a little time to reflect back on the emotions you experienced the past couple of days!

Did you feel anxious, or out of control, perhaps a lttle despondent or even depressed. Did you maybe feel like you were getting nowhere or were negative about something around you. Perhaps you felt not pretty enough or even that you were overweight. Maybe you were even scared or fearful.

If you felt even just one of these feelings from a very shortened list of emotions, then the chances are that the devil has been working on your mind a little. These are all feelings that stem from the pits of hell and not from the word of God.

Taking control of yourself.

The most important thing that you need to come to grips with is the function of the devil. His sole purpose is to rob, steal and destroy that which God has prepared for you. If he can steal your joy or rob you of the promises of God, then he has succeeded in his mission.

Your sole purpose in life is to live the life that God has planned for you and to take up the power and authority that is yours in the name of Jesus. Jesus has already overcome satan and has given that same victory over to you, if you would only receive it.

The devil is prowling 24/7 trying to destroy you and everytime that you experienced one of the emotions discussed above is an indication that he succeeded in his purpose.

How to overcome.

Spend time in the word so that you know what is rightfully yours. If you do not what God has promised to you, how can you ever receive it.

Use the power that you have received through the name of Jesus. Unless you use the weapons given to you, how can you defeat the enemy. If the weapons were not necessary for you to succeed then Jesus would never have bothered giving them to you.

Take control of your mind and renew your mind to Godly thinking. There is simply so much power in the renewing of your mind that you can not even begin to comprehend it. There is amongst other things, a christian weight loss program based around this scripture and which has helped thousands to lose massive amounts of weight without dieting, without exercise and without diet supplements - just the power of Gods word.

You can overcome depression, sickness, disease and any other problem simply by changing the way that you think, or rather by casting out the thought patterns that satan has placed in your mind, and replacing them with godly thinking.

Romans 12:2 " and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may  prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."

My personal translation:- " Do not allow the world to control and shape you, but change your thinking to God's thinking and you will take on a new shape (Figure, Appearance). Test God in this so that you can see how good and perfect His plan is for you."

It is important that this is one of only two scriptures in the bible that God says that you can test (prove) Him.

Renew your mind to a new you with Gods word.
