What is resource Friday?
Every
Friday I feature a musician, poet, author, entrepreneur or speaker who has
incredible material. I believe that as Christians we can help one another grow by
providing each other with Biblically sound resources. Every resource I
suggest is of someone who's work I truly believe in and use myself.
This week’s resource: Battlefield of the Mind
Each one of us has a war in our mind. In some
shape, form or fashion, we each have some portion of our mind that daily needs
renewing to be more like Christ. From the time I was very small, I have battled
with debilitating fear and anxiety. For a long time, I did not realize these
struggles were caused by the thoughts I allowed to enter my mind. My thoughts
ruled me, I didn't rule my thoughts. For years I believed it was impossible to
control my thoughts. My senior year of high school, I was given a copy of the
book Battlefield of the Mind and it has forever changed my life.
In this book by Joyce Meyer, Joyce discussed all of
the ways in which our minds can be a battlefield, for example, fear, worry,
wandering minds, and even jealousy. She gives real life application stories to
show how each issue in the mind can affect us. I found that reading this book
provided not only immediate healing in my mind in some areas, but also
incredible guidance on how to work through the challenging parts of my thought
life. Whether the battles in your mind are mere nuisances or are raging wars
within you, I suggest you check out this book.
