Two Voices

We have two natures: the spiritual and the sinful. The voice we hear from the spiritual nature comes from Jesus Christ. The voice we hear from our fleshly nature comes from the enemy according to Galatians 5:16,17. The spiritual nature and the sinful nature are always in conflict with each other.

What then, can we do to replace the negative thoughts that come to our mind from our sinful nature? We can switch to thoughts of God’s truths about ourselves from our spiritual side.

If you are a Christian:

-John 1:12 says You are a child of the King, not a worthless nobody.

-Colossians 2:10 says You are complete in Him, not lacking anything.

-Romans 8:1, 2 says You are forever free from condemnation. You are not guilty.

-Romans 8:35 says you are loved forever, not unlovable.

-Philippians 4:13 says You can do all things through Christ. You are not weak.

-2 Timothy 1:7 says You have been given a spirit of power, not a spirit of fear.

Memorize these Bible verses or write them down on a card and put it in your Bible. Have them close by so you can read them when the negative nature attacks your mind. Focus on and believe what God says about you! Hear the right voice and press on.
