The end product of fear is unbelief. The enemy is out to not only get you to fear, but to get you into unbelief. What you believe is as far as you’ll go. Bill Winston

I believe that the biggest mistake we can make is to underestimate our enemy or think we don’t have one. We are so attached to the physical, logical realm that we sometimes overlook that we are a spirit, we have a soul and live in a body. If we are a spirit, doesn’t it make sense that our biggest battles are won or lost in the spirit realm, not in the physical realm. Think about it for a minute. We focus so much on what we see that we forget what we can’t see controls what we see.  II Corinthians 10:3-6 says it this way: ³ We live in this world, but we don’t fight our battles in the same way the world does. ⁴ The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments, ⁵ and we tear down every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We also capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ. ⁶ We are ready to punish anyone there who does not obey, but first we want you to be fully obedient.

How can we capture our thoughts and tear down every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God if we don’t read and know what His Word says? We want, we want, we want but we refuse to submit to Gods ways and Word. If we don’t know God, we can’t trust God. If we don’t trust God we won’t believe that he loves us enough to take care of us. If we don’t believe there is a spirit realm, a real devil, a real hell, a God who loves us, than we’re just here existing for our selfish gains and have no one to blame for the position we’re in but ourselves.

It’s time we lay down our flesh life for a higher life, life that’s controlled by the Spirit of God. We want the good life of blessings and miracles but we refuse to submit to Gods leadership and direction for us. Until we believe, we will never receive.

Father, I love you. I don’t want to run my life cause I always make such a mess of things. I don’t want to be in control, I want you to take the reins of my life so that I can reign with you. Keep me constantly aware of your sweet Spirit’s direction and leadership. Teach me your ways that I may walk in your presence. You are life support to my spirit man and I depend on you for everything I need and everything you need for me to accomplish your plan and purpose in the earth. May this year take me to new heights and depths of knowing you.
