Instead of worrying today, set your mind on God and His promises to you. Fill your heart and mind with thoughts of faith, praise, thanksgiving, and worship even in the midst of the adverse circumstances you may encounter.
You cannot do this in your own strength or in the power of your natural mind. Regardless of how strong your will may be, you cannot do this simply by will power. The battle must be fought and won in the spirit world.
Whenever you realize that your mind is in turmoil, take aggressive action right then. Bind the power of the enemy in prayer. Draw upon God’s strength and the power of the Holy Spirit within you to resist, oppose, and withstand Satan’s attack on your mind. Exercise your authority over the enemy by taking control over your thoughts and casting out every negative, ungodly thought in the Name of Jesus.
Paul said, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7, NIV). The word “guard” in this verse is a military term which means “garrison.” God has promised that as you reject negative thoughts and present your needs to Him in praise and thanksgiving, He will guard your heart--your thoughts, will, and emotions--just as soldiers under military orders guard a garrison. They constantly watch over it and protect it so that it remains safe from enemy attack.
Satan doesn’t give up easily. He will repeatedly try to bring negative, sinful thoughts into your mind. Continue to rebuke and resist him in the Name of Jesus. As you do this, he must leave and all worries, anxieties, and negative thinking must leave with him. As you actively resist him, he will flee!
You can draw upon God’s strength and the power of the Holy Spirit to resist, oppose, and withstand attacks on your mind today and every day. Command Satan to take his hands off your mind! Make this declaration out loud right now:
“Satan, you have no control over my mind. I command you, in the Name of Jesus, flee from my mind! I resist you now in the power of Almighty God that is within me. I reject every negative thought, every fear, doubt, and worry from my mind. It is written, that God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. I claim the peace of God over my mind right now, in the Name of Jesus.”
PRAYER:
My FATHER, My God, this year let my life reflect the blessing of the Lord, I shall not be static, I decree PROGRESS, FAVOR, HONOR, AND INFLUENCE are my portion. My life is SALTED, My speech is SALTED, My Home and Business are SALTED in the name of Jesus.
