Hmm,
sometimes I may not plan to engage in a battle ; but when my mind has chosen to
; I have no choice but to consent to the
demands of my mind. It may be a battle of anger, hatred, jealousy or even envy.
Indeed the battle happening in the mind is the greatest.
I remember once it
occurred to me that I had become jealous of someone; that my mind felt some
form of anger as I thought of the person’s progress. I admitted this was a work
of the flesh. I went into my closet,
repented and prayed earnestly that God would deliver me. That he would deliver
me from this canker-worm called jealousy which could lead to hatred and even
wickedness.
Instantly to my greatest surprise, I was touched. I felt an
instant release in my heart and joy welled up in my heart. I then
remembered what my Pastor said once ‘if
it happened to someone, it is an indication that it will surely happen for you’..
Afterwards, whenever I saw the object of my jealousy I could only think love
and positively of him. I had
conquered my fear and won my battle just like that!
Be blessed!
