John 10:10a “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy.” 1 Peter 5:8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. “ (NLT)
Child – Don’t you recognize the attacks of the enemy yet? Yesterday was a good day until evening, when you allowed depression to settle over you. It covered you and you let it stay there instead of coming against it in my name.
Depression is insidious. Negative thoughts cause it to grow and give it power. When some thought or action upsets you, give it to Me immediately. Only I can change what you see occurring in the lives around you. Any time you spend dwelling on them is totally counter-productive.
First, it ties you to the event and its misery transfers to you as the spirit of hopelessness. Then it just reinforces the situation because YOU can’t do anything to change it. But when you turn it over to Me, ask Me to work in it for my glory, and thank Me for my answer to it, all heaven breaks loose!
You have the power to be your mind’s gate keeper. Give your thoughts to Me so I can work. If you will do that, all power to change the situation will come into play.
You have asked for wisdom. I have given it to you. You give problems to Me. I fix them. As you learn to pass troubling situations and thoughts to Me, a peaceful, joyful, abundant life can be yours despite what the world tries to tell you.
Love you, Abba
