«WE HAVE THE VICTORY» For those struggling with thoughts of unforgiveness and attacks on the mind especially deceiving thoughts and doubts these are from satan in the word they are called fiery darts we are to quench those darts by faith so we need to read the word and believe that Gods word is true.We also have the victory over these thoughts because when we accept Jesus the holy spirit dwells within us so satan does nt have authority over us he can not rule what belongs to God he can only deceive.We can not defeat the enemy in our strength we need the holy spirit when we try and overcome him in our strength we struggle especially with our thoughs and in the area of sin.If you are having evil thoughts or doubts commit your way unto the Lord and let him fight your battle.Tell the enemy he has no authority over you that you are under the covering of Jesus Christ and when you have doubts memorise verses on faith ie greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.The holy spirit is just like Jesus talk to him be friends with him he helps us to live like Christ and gives us the power to do it.We are overcomers more than conquerers through Christ who strengthens us.brentnz
