“Battles of Life”

"Life is formed from the inside out. What I am inside determines the issues in the battle of life."
Dr. William Hornaday
I have come to understand something the hard way, God is after our hearts. He doesn’t work on the outside first, He works on the inside. Yes, The Lord is interested to see the changes on the outside, but they happen because He did His work on the inside.
This is the biggest battle we will have in our lives. It’s not about behavior, which is a thing of the mind, (Do you know the greatest distance in the world? It is the distance between the head and the heart.) It’s about our hearts; this determines the “Battles of Life”.
One of the greatest things about the 2=1 ministry; we share transparently and get to win the “battle of life”, because the enemy can’t use our stuff (sins) against us any longer or the sins of others. 1 John 1:9.
The hook is gone, and he (the enemy) can’t jerk us around any longer. We tell our story and someone else gets healed, how cool is that, and by the way, so do we, every time it’s shared, we get more healing.
We’ve seen lives transformed by a couple’s testimony.
The wife of one couple had been sexually abused from the time she was three till sixteen. You would think that would be too terrible to even mention, right? If you could have heard the way they both shared, so gracefully and with such love, you would have wept like all of us did that heard their story. They were so anointed, and never once gave the enemy any credit with ugly details, just the most awesome testimony of forgiveness we’d had ever heard. There were at least two others that got healed in the class because of their transparency. That’s how God works at times. He will take the worst and use it against the enemy every time, if we let Him.
God is trying to form us, from the inside out. I love this about Him, He takes up residence then set things in place, so that we will have the willingness to be like Him.
So what are you on the inside? Where is your battle? Are you winning, or are you whining?
This determines how you are going to be formed and used of the Lord, if you will be determine not to give in but to give out, so the “Battle of Life” will be formed in you as useful and beautiful tool, you’ll see the Lord work in others lives.
Keep up the good fight, stay in the battle, it has been won already!
What is your story, that the enemy would like you to hide?
