God has equipped and empowered a Christ centered believer to be an overcomer in their life. Last time we saw that we are in a warfare against the devil, the world culture and the temptations of the flesh. Praise God, He has made a way for us to overcome.
This post will focus on what I call the “personal terrorist”. The apostle Paul tells us the God has not given us a “spirit of fear”. However many are influenced by this spirit. I call it the spirit of manipulation. This spirit manifest itself in six basic ways. We’ll briefly list each way it will manipulate a believer.
Pride: Selfishness, greed, control, perfectionist, compulsive behaviors, racism
Isolation: Loneliness, depression, despair, over sleeping, alcoholism, drug addiction
Intimidation: Shyness, low self esteem, insecurity, indecisiveness, no confidence, stressed out
Paralysis: Phobias, paranoia, trouble adjusting to change, guilt and shame
Panic: Panic attacks, anxiety and worry, sleeplessness and confusion
Negative Attitude; Critical, judgmental, sarcasm, cynical about the sincerity of others, impatience
If you find yourself in one or more of these areas, you are not alone! This situation is not hopeless, God has a way and plan for you to overcome the “personal terrorist.”
First God to God’s word and know God
Second be clothed with your spiritual armor
Third become God inside minded.

Until next time this is Pastor Carl Benton reminding you, “It’s the truth you know and walk in that sets your free.”
