“So this is the thing..many will say to me..or even just look at me and think within themselves..main Mandi is always so happy..Amen..and she is always laughing..I wish I would do that?..I wish my life was happy?..I wish I didn’t have any problems?..because I know she doesn’t..right?!..and this morning this is what many people think..and not necessarily towards me but towards anyone that is a happy person..a person that is positive..and a person that is enjoying their lives..Amen..but here’s the thing guys..I have learned and I am still learning..that if I give the enemy one tiny ounce of me and who I am..then it escalates..and very quickly at times..and it gets bigger..and bigger..and a tiny mole hill if you will grows into this huge mountain that I feel is standing before me..all because I grabbed the bait so to speak..Amen..because if you give the enemy anything of you..he takes more and more..Amen..in other words if you give him asscess to your thoughts..Amen..and you sit there and entertain his thoughts that he tries to to bring to you..and most of the time they’re negative ones..Amen..and what happens then..well our minds began wondering..and thinking and dwelling..and before long we are mad..we are sad..we are angry..we have lost all of our joy..we are living in the past and bringing it up..Amen..and then we aren’t getting along with any one..because were too busy having this conversation with the enemy..and believing him and his lies that he is speaking into our minds..because we are opening ourselves up to him..and we are listening to him..as children of the most high God..Amen!”

“So this is what I do..I get up out of the mess immediately and I turn the channel if you will..I say this a lot but we all have our own remotes in life..so I grab mine up..and I begin changing that channel..and I begin speaking life into my life..Amen..because the enemy is alive and well..and if we fail to see this then we are gonna be truly hurting in life..but here’s the thing we are the head the bible says and not the tail..(Deuteronomy 28:13)..the enemy is a defeated foe..(Deuteronomy 28:7)..Amen..Christ Jesus is our Lord..and He alone is over it all..and in control over it all..so I turn on good music..I begin to give praise and thanks to my Father in heaven..and I begin to thank Him for all that He is doing and all that He is going to do for me and my life..Amen..I grab my bible and I begin reading it out loud..Amen..because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..(Romans 10:17)..Amen..so do I always get this right?..not always..but as I say I am learning and still learning..Amen..because I am only human..I am still in this earthly vessel..Amen..but I laugh and I will praise always regardless of what is happening in my life..and most of the time this ole girl here is always it seems in a battle..Amen..but as well I know that God is with me..and I know that there is always a battle to be fought as a child of God..especially if you think you are gonna do anything for Christ..Amen!”

“So I am not gonna sit down and be a depressed person again in my life..for I already did that..and It was not at all a fun place..not able to eat..not happy with nothing..going to different doctors..only for them to try and give me a bunch of medicine which I didn’t take because I couldn’t take it..it actually made me worse..but I what I did was pray..and pray earnestly to the Lord..and I gained little by little joy into my life..again it wasn’t overnight..Amen..and I as well did the fear thing..the enemy griped my life and wouldn’t let go..so I did that for as well probably 13 years..and let me tell you one thing that is the worst place ever in life..Amen..so again I learned to pray and pray quickly and invite the Lord into my situation..and into my life..and I had to do this at a constant just to have peace in my life..Amen..the Lord was teaching me..Amen..so again I have fought and I do fight..but I as well learned not to let my joy go away from me..because the joy of the Lord is my strength..(Nehemiah 8:10)..Amen..so I learned that I have to fight the good fight of faith daily..(1 Timothy 6:12)..and I have to hold on to that..and guard and protect my life..my circle if you will..the people and things that I allow in my life..because everything we do and everything we hear effects us and our lives..our homes..both of them our spiritual one and our natural one..Amen!”

“So I don’t give the enemy anything of me..I know when he is coming to irritate me if you will..for I can disern very quickly..for I prayed for that in my life..and when I do I get up and move on..and get busy not entertaing him and his lies deceit and or deception that he tries to bring..Amen..so my prayer for you all is that you began thanking the Lord for what you do have in your life..all of your blessings that God gives daily..every single one..and that you begin helping yourself by helping yourself to rise up from the discouragement..and put on the armor of God..(Ephesians 6:10-18)..and believe God and His voice speaking and singing over you..and that every lie that has ever been spoken over you and your life would be broken off from you..and that your mind would be filled and renewed with everything that God our Father speaks and has spoken over you..Amen..for you are the apple of His eyes..(Psalms 17:8)..and He alone loves you ever so much and He alone has great and mighty plans for you and your life..(Jeremiah 33:3)..Amen..so today I speak life over your life..I speak healing..I speak love..I speak joy..and I speak happiness over you in all areas of your life..Amen..and I pray that God and His presence would even now..right now over shadow you with everything it is that you need this day..in this moment right now in the name of Jesus..I ask and pray..Amen and Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
