Warriors, EVERYTHING we endure on earth we endure for Christ. Paul resisted the negative by turning it into positive through the truth of God’s Word. AMEN! When the Enemy came to deceive Paul to believe that he could not endure another second, Paul repeated this:
Philippians 4:13 “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me.”
I have no doubt that Satan didn’t hang around Paul for very long! Paul understood that controlling his mind and using Jesus’ strength would prevent the Enemy from gaining a foothold. Paul knew that he could do nothing apart from God’s strength. Whenever a negative thought rears its ugly head or we feel the urge to complain, instead of focusing on the negative . . . think on THESE THINGS:
Philippians 4:8 “. . . 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.”
