TEENAGE COUNSELING
STEPPING STONE #8
ENEMY OF YOUR SOUL
Welcome back to
THE PATH
|
Psalms 25:5
Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my
salvation; on thee do I wait all the day. |
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES COUNSELING
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS PATH
Patience is a virtue.
Virtue is strength or power.
I trust that you're waiting each day for the next step.
By doing so,
you're gaining strength.
The more strength you have, the easier it is to conquer any problem.
Happy to have you back here at THE PATH, my friend.
Well, we’ve shared a lot of TRUTH together and you have learned several
methods of eliminating the weeds in your garden. On this STEPPING
STONE there’s even more exciting TRUTH to discover!
Jesus taught us another TRUTH that we can use for gardening
tools in the Word, and now that you’ve cleared the weeds, it’s time to
add some nutrients.
First, let’s review and expand on a couple of facts
that we talked about earlier.
1. The problem is not YOU.
2. The enemy of your soul is the SOURCE of the problem.
Take a look at some one word definitions of the word
“problem.”
{evil - harm - trouble - tribulation}
Nobody wants any of those things, but the thoughts
that are generated by them are what make problems grow. Your problems
aren’t all caused by a sin that you committed, although some
may be. Let me remind you, it’s whether or not you choose to entertain
the problem that determines if it becomes sin. If you believe it is,
that’s why our Savior Jesus Christ died for us, because not a single
one of us is exempt from sin.
Sometimes, it seems like trouble follows us wherever
we go. And friend, nothing could be closer to the TRUTH. You DO have
an enemy of your soul following you around watching and waiting for
you to be vulnerable as to be able to try and overtake you.
|
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour ... |
This Psalm describes it well ...
|
Psalm 143:3-4
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he
hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to
dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
Therefore is my spirit
overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate. |
THIS DOES NOT MEAN HE CAN JUST DO SO AT WILL ...
WE MUST TURN OVER THE LEASH OF OUR MIND AND SPIRIT
TO HIM FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO DO SO WHETHER IT BE WILLINGLY OR NOT OR
EVEN KNOWN THAT WE ARE DOING SO OR NOT.
This is why you must defend your soul (Mind) from taking in any foul
or unwanted thoughts and deal with any weeds (Bad thoughts) that do
pop up from time to time.
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES EXPLAINED
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS HEALINGYou have
just weeded out your garden, and it looks just beautiful. As your
friend, I’ll remind you again, you must protect it. I can’t explain it
better than Jesus did:
|
Matthew 12:43-45
When the unclean
spirit is gone out of a man, he (the unclean spirit) walks
through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says,
I will return into my house from where I came out; and when he
returns, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. Then he goes,
and brings with himself seven other spirits more wicked than
himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state
of that man is worse than the first. |
Yes, you read that right ...
EVIL SPIRITS have and will seek to destroy your garden.
But, there is nothing to fear.
Now, would you believe there’s an upside to this? If your life is void of
being presented with trial and tribulation, what do you think that
means? It means that the devil isn’t concerned about you anymore. He
doesn’t think you’re a threat to his cause. A Christian's trial and
tribulation is something to rejoice about. Peter explains:
|
1 Peter 1:6-9
For a while you’ll be in
heaviness through many temptations, in which you should greatly
rejoice, that the trial of your faith, which is more precious
than gold, though it be tried with fire, will be found unto
praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ,
whom having not seen, you love; in whom, though now you see Him
not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of
glory, receiving the end of your faith, which is the salvation
of your souls. |
There’s something important to understand about all
of this. The rejoicing that Peter is talking about is that we get to
prove our faith by conquering trial and tribulation. It establishes
PATIENCE within us.
|
James 1:3
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. |
And you will need this patience to receive the
PROMISE of God.
|
Hebrews
10:36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the promise. |
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES DISCUSSION
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS AND TEARS
It’s not that we
are to welcome the problems, so much as it is that we welcome the opportunity to show the
Lord our faith, by overcoming them.
Now, don’t get me wrong my dear friend, overcoming
sin ain’t easy. Remember you inherited it, just like you inherited
your hair color and the color of your eyes. You were born with it.
BUT ... That doesn’t mean you have to like it or
tolerate it in your life.
We’re going on a FIELD TRIP now, to the Epistle (Of
Paul the Apostle) to the Romans.
If there was ever anybody who can testify of trial
and tribulation, it would have to be the Apostle Paul. In the letter
that he wrote to the Romans, he explains our “humanity,” that we
sometimes refer to as “human nature.”
Okay, this gets kinda deep,
so let’s look at this closely. How could satan make sin even more
sinful? By using something holy to deceivingly bring evil to people.
|
Romans 7:14
For we know that the law is
spiritual: but I am carnal (human, fleshly), sold under sin. |
This is an interesting phrase that
Paul uses “sold under sin.” It means that we as humans, inherited sin,
because Adam and Eve sold their purity for it. We inherently do
it. Now, I encourage you to read the next part ever so slowly, cuz it
can be hard to understand if you don't digest it little by little.
Paul explains original sin so well, that you may just be speechless
when you’re through reading it, because you’ve probably felt this way
many times before, but were never able to put it into words. Get ready
for more TRUTH.
|
Romans 7:15-25
The things which I do,
I allow not (I don’t approve of):
but what I want to do,
that, I do not do;
but what I hate,
that is what I do.
If then, I do that which I don’t want to do,
I agree with the law that it is good.
Now then, it is not really I that do it,
but sin that lives within me.
For I know that in me
(that is, in my flesh,)
lives no good thing:
for to want to do good, is within me;
but how to perform that which is good,
I cannot figure out.
For the good that I want to do,
I do not do:
but the evil which I don’t want to do,
that is what I do.
Now if I do what I don’t want to do,
it is not really I that do it,
but sin that lives within me.
So then, I find a law (in my body),
that,
when I want to do good, evil comes calling.
For I delight in the law of God in my mind,
but I see another law in my body,
warring against the law of my mind,
and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my
body.
O wretched (miserable) man that I am!
Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So then with the mind,
I myself serve the law of God;
but with the flesh, the law of sin. |
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES PARABLES
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS HELPAre you at a loss for words? That’s
because Paul took them right out of your mouth! My dear friend, this
is something that we all feel, often, and yet we think that nobody
understands us because we think that we are the ONLY ONES that feel that way. When really, everyone is that
way, they just don’t know how to explain it either.
Sooooooo, the next time you’re beating yourself up
and saying in your mind, Why did I do that!? You can recall what Paul
said, O wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this misery?
And then, remember the answer that he gave.
I thank God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
He’s the only one that can save us.
|
LET GO AND LET GOD!
LET GO (of your problem), AND LET GOD (remove it)!
|
Your problem is unique. But friend, you’re not the
lone ranger when it comes to being a Christian being tempted by evil.
When I want to do good, evil comes calling.
Knowing this TRUTH prepares you for the inevitable
trials that you will face as you begin to walk the Path of TRUTH.
Whenever you know that potential danger awaits, prepare yourself.
You
must protect your mind ...
THOUGHTS ARE THINGS.
CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS
BY RENEWING YOUR
MIND DAILY
Thoughts are seeds. You may think they’re
harmless, because nobody can see or hear them except you and the Lord.
HERE IS AN EXAMPLE ...
|
Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart. |
OVERCOMING FEAR BIBLE QUOTES
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS ASSISTANCE
Have you ever been doing something, and a thought
pops into your head about something that happened some time ago? Then
you think about it for a little while and your spirit changes? And you
think about it some more, and you find other reasons why it makes you
mad. And the more you think about it, the madder you get! Pretty soon,
you’re thinking about things that happened years ago that are done and
over with that you’re still mad about, and getting madder!
See how a seed can grow with THOUGHT?
WHAT IF YOU WATERED GOOD SEEDS WITH THOUGHT?
THINK GOOD THOUGHTS
REMEMBER WHAT WE ARE TOLD TO DO ...
|
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever
things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise,
THINK on these things. |
The chart I shared with you in the last step is an
excellent way to do so, and could and should be done every day until
it becomes a habit.
OVERCOMING
TEENAGE FEARS BY KNOWING TEENAGE FEARS TRUTH
You can’t stop the devil from tempting you with thoughts,
but you CAN choose whether or not to accept the thoughts and whether
you will ponder on them by using that chart until it become your
natural reaction.
You have to train yourself to recognize bad
thoughts and arrest them immediately. As you’ve learned, your first
line of defense is to tell the TRUTH. If the thought doesn’t leave,
there are many things you can do to change your thoughts.
Here are a few examples:
Sing a spiritual song in your mind, or out loud, that reinforces righteousness.
HERE IS A SIMPLE EXAMPLE:
|
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind, but now I
see.
|
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES COUNSELING FOR YOU
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS STEPSConcentrate,
on the words that you’re singing,
because you can sing and be thinking of something else at the same
time. It happens while you read and do other things all the time.
FOCUS
How many times have you had to start a
paragraph over again because you read it while your mind was on
something else, and when your thoughts returned to what you were
reading, you couldn’t remember one single word you read but you are
halfway down the page.
I DO hope you are not experiencing this now ... 😬
TUNE IN
These are some other ideas of how to chase
undesirable thoughts away:
Recite the
23rd Psalm.
|
Psalms 23
The LORD is my
Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green
pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my
soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's
sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the House of the
LORD for ever. |
Listen to some awesome Christian music.
Recite the books of the Bible in order.
Write in your Web-Log.
Do a MIRACLE GROW activity.
Have some Christian Fellowship.
Do anything that replaces the bad with good.
BUT ... DO ADDRESS THE LIE.
To do nothing is still having made a choice.
My friend, let us be real ... You are trying to live a
Godly life in
an ungodly world. Temptation is inevitable and everywhere. You can't
turn on a television without the enemy trying to lure you with the
trends of worldly ways. You’ll have to work hard at it. It won’t be
easy at first, but you’ll soon get the hang of it.
Anything that’s
worthwhile, takes time. Focus on positive things. Think good thoughts.
Here’s an excuse that might pop into your mind, that
we’re going to attack with TRUTH.
I’M ONLY HUMAN
Is that so? I mean, is that really true? ONLY human?
What about the spiritual part of you?
|
Romans 8:5-7
For they that are fleshly
minded do obey the things of the flesh; but they that are after
the Spiritually minded, obey the things of the Holy Spirit.
For to be carnally (humanly)
minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not
subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. |
Remember, the Spirit of God
lives in you.
After reading what Paul wrote just now, it should
make you cringe to believe that you’re only human. Don’t believe
the lies that the devil plants that say it’s human nature to feel this
way or that.
Don’t let him CON-vince you into using excuses that allow
certain behavior or thoughts that are not righteous. As a Christian,
you don’t follow human nature, but a Spiritual nature. Paul said, the
carnal mind is enmity
against God.
FEAR BIBLE QUOTES CONCERN
CHRISTIAN FEAR THERAPY FOR TEENAGE FEARS WARNING
I encourage you to look those two words up in the
dictionary. Let me do it for you:
carnal = temporal - worldly - fleshly
enmity = rejection - hostility - hatred
|
Romans 8:6
To be Spiritually minded is life
and peace. |
PRAY IT AWAY
Prayer is another fantastic way to control your
thoughts. Evil cannot contend with God. Put your thought toward Him.
Him to help you.
|
Matthew 7:7-8
Ask,
and it shall be given you;
Seek, and ye shall
find;
Knock, and it shall
be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

LET GO AND LET GOD!
LET GO (of your problem), AND LET GOD (remove it)!
