But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.   Psalms 92:10 KJV  When I first read this scripture, I thought to myself, " I have no idea what that means!"  If you are thinking the same thing, then this blog is for you.  The previous verses are talking about the fate of the enemies of God.  7 That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever. 8 But You, Lord, are on high forever. 9 For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies...

God has been talking to me about strength recently.   Somewhere along the way, I got the mistaken impression that God wanted me weak. But that just isn't true. Maybe that idea came from wanting to be a princess where the white knight comes and rescues her(love those fairy tale ending romances) Maybe I just didn't want to put in the effort to make myself strong in areas I saw as weak.

  Last time we discussed how to silence the voice of the enemy,(read how here). Now we can identify any self-talk left that is hindering us. Listening to that negative self-talk will stop you from entering into the abundant life God has designed for you to live. That life is what we want and dream of, so let's talk about how to handle our self-talk. First, we have to become aware of when that voice is speaking and what it is saying. It will most likely show up as a negative emotion before you realize the thought. When you feel something negative, stop and...

  Before we can begin to identify and address our own negative self-talk, we must first silence the talk coming for our enemy. If the enemy can cause us to question our selves, then he can steal our faith in those areas of our life.  If he can get you to seriously question your calling, then you won't have the faith to believe for and fulfill that calling.  Revelations 12:10 tells us that there is a spirit called the accuser of our brethren.  Day and night, constantly, he brings charges against us before God.  One of the reasons we experience...
