What Controls You?
What has ahold of you? Some of the mind numbing and gut wrenching maladies that tear some people apart are anxiety, fear, failure, obsessive goals of achievement, past/present/future skeletons that manipulate your mind and seize control of your life, habits that you have been trying to kick for years, family demons of the past, you name it!
The mind is the seat of the soul and it is a place where flesh and spirit often come into bitter conflict. Some of what fuels negative conflict within body, mind and spirit include unchecked appetites, feelings of discontentment, pride and self preservation, oppression (sadness, guilt, depression) and laziness.
Some of the spiritual strategies which have proven effective in dealing with the above mentioned include; a relationship with God that goes beyond superficial religiosity, (Psalm 42:1) seeking wisdom and “right living” and focussing on the fruit of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
