From Bill & Mel —God gives us what Winkler calls “divine dynamite” to blow through the strongholds the devil places in our minds. —EPHESIANS 6: 12 “For our struggle is not against enemies of flesh & blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” — So we MUST stand on His promises. “The way to stand on a promise is to announce it over your life or your situation. This is called a declaration. In this case you may declare, “Because I share in the inheritance of Abraham, I declare that I am blessed to be a blessing.” Since the promise also includes your offspring, you should speak it over your children too: “I declare that my children are blessed so that they too can meet the needs of others.” Let me make it clear. If tormenting yourself with guilt or memories or fear helps you, then do it. But on the other hand, since you know that such torment gets you nowhere, If a thought pattern troubles you – forget it & treat it as an attack of the evil one. God gives instructions to put on the full armor. If He wants you to do something He will tell you. If a thought pattern makes you feel bad – forget it!!!! That’s IT – FORGET IT! Even if there is truth in the attack, FORGET IT! Replace IT with another thought! This is part of renewing the mind! We can’t think on two things at the same time! Why not choose to think positive! As a little child, Look for the good! Play some beautiful music! Music can chase the demons away! Our praise brings God’s power! Remember the walls of Jericho came falling down when they played music & praised God! Believe what God says. That is what matters! Love Mel
