In this 3 week series I want to speak about how to take care of your mental, spiritual, and physical health. This is very important because if not these things will be exposed on the surface at the wrong time.

Im not going to lie to you I say what I said up above because I recently encountered a situation that I’ve been going through for a while. For a while I’ve been thinking that I’m slow and dumb. I don’t say this so you can feel bad for me, the point is not to victimize yourself. The point is to expose the problem and find the solution. On my side I did it wrong, I let it go on for a while. It came out at the wrong time possible, while I was playing a game with my friends I thought I didn’t understand the game. This is not the first time I do something and I feel dumb/slow to understand the game. Some people in the past have called me dumb. But I already healed that part, I’ve learned to not accept what people think about me. What matters is what God thinks of me not people, he’s my creator. But anyway it exploded in my face I told my friends I don’t want to play calmly but I isolated myself from being with my friends playing that game in that moment. But this exploded because of how I’ve been feeling about myself recently, it has been going on for a while. Lately Gods been showing me things and telling me things spiritually. Sometimes when he’s showing me these things I get frustrated because I cant understand it or it takes me time to understand it. So that’s where it comes from. I allowed the devil to creep in lies about who I am. I made myself believe that I’m slow/dumb and that I’m not capable of understanding what God wants to tell me. Which I get myself, I don’t want to fail God. But instead of letting that go on for a while I should of stopped-exposed-and spoken the truth to myself. You want to know the truth about yourself go to the word of God or ask God directly. It’s normal to get thoughts but it’s another to let it drive through your mind. I should of exposed that thought with the truth. God does not call me dumb, he does not call me slow. I just need to quiet more to listen correctly before I react. Mentally I would say you should feed yourself with the truth. Especially when you are new in Christ. This is something that you have to let the Holy Spirit renew your mind everyday. I say this because especially when you are new you are still kind of weak. You aren’t complete in God yet, you are still getting to know God. Which means you are still getting to know the identity he’s given you. The devil attacks you regardless because he knows we are not of this world and wants us to be a part of this world. He wants us on his side, but God clearly states, “You were taught to leave your old self. This means that you must stop living the evil way you lived before. That old self gets worse and worse, because people are fooled by the evil they want to do. You must be made new in your hearts and in your thinking” Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭22‬-‭23‬. That means we have to let God renew our minds because the old way of thinking wasn’t aligning with Gods thinking. Gods not of this world so we shouldn’t strive to be like this world. We are like Jesus he was here on earth temporarily to fulfill Gods purpose for him. Afterwards when it was finished God brought his son back home where he belonged, his true home in heaven. So I say take care of yourself mentally because where you win your battles is in the mind. The mind is a powerful thing, if you let the devil in it won’t be pretty I promise. The devil is out to kill, destroy and steal from you.
