Control you

There was a song several years ago that seemed to say it all when it comes to life and pursuing the grace and favor of God. Jaci Velasquez sang a song called "on my knees" We all fall down, regardless of who we are or who we think we are, there are always times in our lives we simply ask what now? what do I do? How do I go on? What is the purpose for me? The answers to all of these questions can be found if searched for diligently enough. The problem is, we always have that voice in our heads saying, "it's not worth it" or simply "give up" The powers of darkness are mighty and not to be taken lightly. If you're a sports fan, you realize how much power is underestimating your opponent, it literally can make you lose the game in an instant, the same goes for life and your daily walk with God. In an instant you can be mislead and led astray. The pictures of the power of darkness is not what you think. You wouldn't lure a fish with unappealing bait, and you wouldn't lead someone from God without something equally as enticing. Evil is everywhere, discouragement runs rampant and if you are not careful and focused on God you will be misled. Simple as that. Time well spent is time seeking God. This is an every day battle and at every corner there is someone trying to pull you away.
      Remember that we serve a powerful God and he controls the universe with only his voice. Anything you are going through is nothing compared to the power of God. Also remember that evil is manipultive. If you have ever tried to quit something that you are used to doing, you understand that one of the best ways to do it is put whatever it is as far from you as possible. The less your senses see it, hear it , smell it, the better suited you are for rejecting it. God gave each of us the power of our mind, but simply every day we reliquish the power we hold more and more to circumstances, substances, thoughts among many other things. Regain the power of your mind, control your body, only you are responsible for your salvation, and it's far too important to just let someone else control it. Never say I can't. Words are powerful and the more you understand that you were made with power the better off you will be. Everything God does is with his voice, Jesus changed the world without lifting a finger. His voice saved many, his sacrifice saves us all. Controlling your life begins with changing your thought process. YOU CAN do ALL things through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS you. Phillipians chapter 4
