Demons

I have fought against many demons in my life.I have stood strong when most people were weak.I have overcome many, many mindsets that have been engrained in my mind since birth like I am stupid, a quitter, or that I am a failure. It seems at those times when I am doing really well, I am happy, comfortable, and at peace,this is the time that those demons try to enter into my mind again. They seem to think that they can catch me off guard or that they can scare me from behind leaving me staggering for something to hold onto.They even try to whisper in my ear seeds of doubt  and fear. Well, today, they tried to do it again. I was very tempted to fall back into some addictive mindsets. I thought that the only way to "escape" was thru a bottle. Well, I am happy to say that I do not need to escape again.It has been 14yrs since I had a drink and after playing it over and over in my head, God showed me where he had delivered me from once again and showed me that He loves me when I am like this just as much as when I am not. It was as though He literally "jumped" the demonic forces at play in my mind and made them quit bullying me. Thank you once again Father for taking care of me and reminding me not just how far you have brought me from, but showed me that you have great plans for me. I love you! your daughter. Joy
