The Lord demonstrated a powerful spiritual lesson to me this morning.  There is not one person who has not practiced this tool.  It is so quickly flashed across our minds by our adversary whose greatest goal is to get back at God through His children-us.   He does this with the thoughts that fly across our minds and we think they are our thoughts.  Not so!  Check it out!  Are they what God says?  Are they what you really think?   Are they what satan wants to deceive you into thinking, to discourage you, and causing you to condem yourself in your thoughts and in your heart?  Wise up to the wiles of the devil.

After apologizing to the Lord for there being another misspelled word that I didn’t catch when proof-reading my post, I began declaring and decreeing changes to take place so as not to try the patienc of any English student wanting to read my Blogs.  The Lord made it clear to me why and how this kept repeating itself and always a sting to my pride.  I was practicing self-prejudice by seeing myself as a second rate writer,  not as good as  (? ) or whatever), by repeating -”I always do that” – “why can’t I do it correctly?”   The Lord revealed to me it was because of my attitude and thoughts which contradicted what I desired it to be.

Self-prejudice is as damaging as if another were gossiping about me, or as if someone were speaking negative damaging words that are really curses against me and thus the damage was being seen in the results of the work I performed,  i.e. the Blogs .   I began declaring what the Word of God says about me.  I spoke to the spirits of slovenliness, laziness, slack, haste and carelessness be broken off my life and decreed I take personal responsibility to become accountable for all that occurs in my life.  This means I must stay alert, be mindful of the truth in God’s Word, to act quickly in obedience to do what He says, so that He then can keep me completely covered and protected.

This is such a powerful lesson as it requires that we do not permit fear of any kind  to dictate our decision and govern our actions as this is in our thought pattern as well.  So we become cognizant of what is running around in our heads out of control and sooner or later it will be spoken out of our mouths.  This is our powerful weapon to defeat our enemy.  God created the earth by the Word He Spoke and we are made in His Image with His characteristics and with the same limitless abilities-therefore we create our world around us by allowing what happens.
