You can learn to control your brain function. You can gain greater and greater ability to absorb content, to think quickly, to shift your outlook, to concentrate, to control your focus and your perspective. These are all amazing abilities and anyone can become better at them. Finally, you can develop control over your spirit. You can become more and more skilled at self-awareness, creativity, communication, decision making, analysis, contemplation, imagination, and self-discipline. The sad thing, though, is very few people ever move on a life path that causes them to continually develop in all four areas all time. The average person will work on one area then another, in fits and starts, but very few are focused on developing all four all time. So this brings us to a final, and profound, question which will determine what you do with rest of your life. How much further do you plan to progress in your life beyond where you currently are? Your answer will determine extent to which you are able to live life to fullest. There is more to gain beyond where you currently are. In fact, potential is unlimited. But, you will determine your reality. There is more and more and more and more.

Perhaps we beg and plead, or command and demand, for what is already rightfully ours; when we could be moving mountains, if only we didn't place more than a grain of faith in our part.

Maybe we are not ready to jump spiritual hurdles. Though, we might try starting where we are, watching for God.

When attacks come, it is quite helpful to remember that it is a lie. The fear element of situation will always be based upon a lie.

Immediately, begin seeking God for needed truth that will overcome this particular warfare. As truth is revealed, light replaces darkness and Satan flees. Oh, what relief!

Once we begin experiencing that relief, we will want to pick up our Bible and look further. There are promises and provisions given, all over, to let us know our rightful place with God!

What an awesome provision God has given! Truth: a victorious weapon against spiritual warfare! It sets us free!

And, once we experience such freedom, we begin to realize and finally 'know' that all things work together for our good (to us that love God, to us who are called), according to his purpose; no exceptions.

Isn't it about time we get to 'know' God?

(For weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. II Corinthians 10:4-6
