True mental health is characterized
by "the peace of God."
Phil 4:7
And the peace of
God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This begins with the true
knowledge of God and of who we are in Christ.
Mental, emotional and spiritual
health can be established if you know and believe:
That I am a child of God.
(Rom 8:16)
That He will supply all
my need. (Phil 4:19)
That I have eternal life
in Christ. (John 3:16)
That I am spiritually alive
right now. (1 John 5:11)
That He has completely forgiven
me. (Col 2:13-14)
That I am spiritually alive
right now. (1 John 5:11)
That my heavenly Father
loves me. (Eph 3:14-19)
That He will never leave
me nor forsake me. (Heb 13:5)
That I have an eternal purpose
for being here. (Eph 2:10)
That there is no condemnation
for those who are in Christ. (Rom 8:1)
That the peace of God is
guarding my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus (Phil 4:7)
That God has not given me
a spirit of fear, but of power and love and discipline. (2
Tim 1:7)
If we would just replace
all those lies of satan's with these truths,
we would win the spiritual
battles in our minds!
Take for example the lie
that I don't really have a purpose here on earth--a very common thought
during times of extreme despair. We could conquer that lie with :
Eph 2:10
For we are
God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance
for us to do.
Replacing the thought in our
mind with,
"I am God's workmanship, created
in Christ to do good works,
which God in advance prepared
for me to do,"
would defeat Satan's strategy
right here.
Father, I pray you will
bring to our minds these truths
when satan attacks us with
his lies.
May we memorize and meditate
on these verses and
use them as Christ did when
confronted with satan's lie
--Your Word is our sword!!
AMEN

For this reason I kneel
before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives
its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you
with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established
in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide
and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love
that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all
the fullness of God.
