But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me

have actually turned out for the furtherance of the

gospel… Phil 1:12

The Confrontation WithinThere is an intention for something far greater, Something that runs counter to my conscience, It’s struggling to make itself known. 

I must confront the fears that try to keep me on the seat of anxiety, so that my true self may come to its fullness in reality.

My ego keeps me running from myself and I don’t want to admit it…I am a battle within,

OR, am I within the battle? 

This force, this force! Where does it come from?! Where must it go?! 

41

The Confrontation Within

I must confront the demons within to unfold the greatness of true-self without sin…is this who God has created?

The confrontation has to be met! With boldness, with authority, with faith and truth! Who holds that truth, do you know?

One thing is for sure, only in Him can I truly grow!

Lord, teach me to battle, teach me to win, teach me to conquer - The Confrontation Within.

Strongholds

“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ”( 2 Corinthians 10:5).

day. Through clouded lens of
