i just started reading "Battlefield of the Mind". so far it has been very eye opening to the war that rages around in our thoughts. i have experienced some freedoms from just asking the Lord to free my mind and to ask for "mind binding spirits" to leave. Joyce Myer explains how the Lord impressed on her heart to pray for the mind binding spirits to flee from her mind. she shares a very powerful story about experiencing the freedom of thought.
one of the things i face is unpleasant dreams. i've always been a big dreamer and i almost always remember my dreams when i wake in the morning. they often are so vivid they feel real. since i've been walking faithfully with the Lord, i've noticed that my dream life has become more negative. i feel as if i'm being attacked by my thoughts while i sleep. they say that you don't really have control over what you dream about and there is some truth to that; however, i do believe that through prayer and thinking on the things of God, we can have victory over our thoughts even at rest.
when i was little, my mom used to sing a song to me that still resonates with me this day and i often find myself singing it when i wake up from a nightmare to try and fall back asleep. the words are simple yet so profound.
Good night my Father put thoughts of Jesus in my head.
Holy Spirit comfort me put Angels all around my bed.
And fill my dreams with the things that please you.
I want to hear your sweet voice it sounds so peaceful.
Good night my Father put thoughts of Jesus in my head.
Holy Spirit comfort me put Angels all around my bed.
