Only now I see how much I really need Him in every area of my life, more than anything else on this earth… I thank God for the mountains and valleys in my life now, because now I see that they were allowed to happen so that God could make me ‘meet myself’. It is important for God to arrange our circumstances in such a way that we eventually have to face ourselves. What God does for you may not be what he does for someone else.Ī simple reality that I say to myself frequently now to avoid comparing myself to others. How true it is… if we compare our progress to someone else’s, we will always be totally unhappy and ungrateful for what progress God HAS made in us. …The Bible teaches us there is no such thing as real peace until we are delivered from the need to compete with others. Whatever it is, it simply can’t be done without the Spirit of God… Zechariah 4:6 The Holy Spirit is truly our help to overcome what needs to be overcome in our lives. The Holy Spirit is your helper – seek His help.

You do need to be determined, but determined in the Holy Spirit, not in the effort of your own flesh. You can’t overcome your situation by prayer alone. You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. Little by little, you and me are changing into God’s image. I now recommend it to you my brothers and sister in Christ! It has been the ‘Book of the Moment’ on my blog for the last few weeks, and before we move on to another book here’s an assortment of my favourite lines from this incredible piece of literary…ĭon’t ever give up, because little by little you are changing.ĭon’t let the enemy speak to you and tell you that you are not advancing in your Christian walk! Even a little movement is still movement.

Your mind really is a game of chess against Satan…įor a melancholic man like me, Joyce Meyer’s great book Battlefield of the Mind has truly changed my life and motivated me after a long time of recommendation.
