Tune in to the FM Channel of JOY!

      Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Tune in to a great day of JOY in the LORD!

            As I was reading Renee Swope’s new book A Confident Heart,  I found an analogy that I just had to share with you!  She suggests that our thoughts are like radio frequencies….AM and FM.  “They are either AM (against me) or FM (for me).  Many times we can be our worst critics, and we have a lot of AM thoughts.  We also have an enemy who is completely against us.  He is jealous of God’s glory in us and threatened by the beauty that lies within the heart of a person whose identity is secure.  That is why he attacks our confidence.  He knows if he can paralyze us with self-doubt and insecurity we will never live up to the full potential of who we are and what we have in Christ.”

            If we find ourselves tuning in to the AM channel of thoughts….always thinking negatively and doubting our value as a child of God, then we will be allowing the enemy to steal our joy.  That is NOT how to live a victorious life in Christ.

            Listen to the words in 1 Peter 5:8-9: “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”

             Stay alert and on guard…we do have an enemy that wants to sink his ugly teeth of doubt into us. Tune in to the FM thoughts of JOY in the LORD!
