Meditate on everything positive each day until the process becomes a part of your life.
Make your mind up - Anyone can get over a negative past, whether that is an issue with abuse, drugs or any other addiction or trauma. You can have victories in your life with the right attitude. Lift it up to God and focus on all the positives in your life. When the devil is in your mind it will be hard for you to see this but concentrate, write a list maybe of all the things in your life that are going good for you. Number 1 - Jesus loves you!!!
2 Corinthians 5:17 "therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here!" We get a new self in the depths of our spirit. Everything we got when we were saved was on the inside. The seed (Jesus) entered us. We then need to show the changes on the outside by making overt adaptations and adjustments to our life. To begin with, sometimes we know what to do but we find it hard to actually do it, such as treating others right. Before anything can show on the outside we need to work out our roots, what is going on inside of us. The root takes a hold inside and then the changes above ground can begin. Water the seed (Jesus) that has been planted in your spirit. The shoots will begin to grow and grow and you will reach the point that you no longer recognise your new self, which interestingly (or not) all starts in your mind. One of the fundamental concepts that we have to grasp is that nothing will change in our life unless we change our mind to the way that God wants you to think.
Too many of us live by how we feel. This is a habit that we need to stop. If we don't get our mind renewed to the word of God then we are never going to live a successful life or be fulfilled. God gave us life and put his spirit in us when we were saved. This gets put in the middle of our mess/issues. We had to suffer in order not to keep feeding our flesh. Whilst we keep giving in to the flesh we will never be free and have permanent internal suffering. Quite simply it's a case of no pain no gain.
I don't want to suffer eternally and I am prepared to fight and work hard to ensure that I don't. Are you willing to allow yourself to be uncomfortable for a while now in order to have great results eternally?
Galatians 5:16 " So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh"- We all have a tendency to concentrate too much on what people shouldn't do and not on what people should do. Turn your mind and think more about what people should or could be doing in their quest of Faith. A key tool in your walk is to keep your mind full of the good things in order that there is no place for the devil and his evil to get in. The devil will sneak into the smallest of cracks in your mind if you are not careful.
Keep your mind full of goodness.
Get honest with God.
Let the devil know that you will not give up
Learn to think how God thinks according to his word.
Pay no heed to the devil and cast ungodly thoughts down.
Are you strong enough???
