Winning the Battle for Your Mind

One of the most challenging and ongoing battles believers fear in life has to do with their minds. One thing believers need to understand is the mind is the battleground satan attacks us on. His main weapon is deception which many times, comes in the form of thoughts and suggestions to our minds. What makes this even more challenging is that our enemy is invisible, so we can’t use natural weapons to defend ourselves or to defeat him. The good news is we do have weapons and by using them we can win this battle.

Where Does Your Help Come From?

I have a simple yet important question to ask, have you ever needed help? Sure, chances are there have been many times you’ve been overwhelmed and felt the need for help. Most everyone can attest to that. Now, one more important question, where does your help come from? Thank God for all the avenues help can come to us through those around us. I’m certainly not making light of that but as believers, where does our greatest help come from? Well, you know the answer, from the Lord. There are simply times in our lives where we will fall short unless we receive spiritual, emotional, physical, and financial help from the Lord.

Wisdom for Living

In this blog, I want to talk about the importance of wisdom in our lives. Proverbs 4:7 tells us, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” The book of Proverbs is best known for its wisdom and teaches us how to live in this world in accordance with the will of God. So what is wisdom? Wisdom is the correct application of knowledge. It is knowing what to do with what you have learned. I like to say it this way, Proverbs is full of wisdom, common sense, and practical advice for everyday living. There are many topics covered in Proverbs, so what I’d like to do is share a few of them with you that will help your life. With each topic, I’ll share a couple of verses and do so using the Message Bible.
