Rebuke, Press ,Pray, & Praise

Look at 'cha neighbor and say:
"Neighbor" (Neighbor)
"The battle" (The battle)
"Is in" (Is in)
"Your mind!" (Your mind)
Does anybody's mind work overtime like mine? I mean really, I have to constantly tell my mind to shut-up! Anyway, this morning.....wheeeew, this morning was a rough one. I woke up like an hour late, my body was racked with pain, and if that wasn't enough there was a spirit of depression hovering over me and trying to attach itself to me. It was there trying to make me feel like a looser for all of my past failures. Trying to make me feel worthless. Trying to make me feel that nobody wanted me. Geeeeez. (Oh, yall act like you don't know what I'm talking about). I almost gave in and slipped back into the enemy's clutches but Praise be unto God for the words of life that my sweetheart text'd to me.
"U need to rebuke that spirit...press..pray and praise! Muah"
Just then I did as she suggested! I began to (out loud) rebuke those spirits off of my life, off of my car, out of my atmosphere, everything. I started praying hard. Trust and believe, it was a serious press. I could feel it so heavy, and so strong....arrrrrggghhhhh. It was sooo strong that I burst out into tears. I have no idea how I didn't crash because I couldn't see a thing. Anyway after all of that I just began to put on the garment of praise to get rid of that sucky spirit of heaviness! And I continued praising God the rest of the way to work, as I parked my car, and as I slowly walked to my desk. I just thank God that my eyes weren't swollen.

I praise God that my past doesn't determine my future!
Hallelujah!
Amen!
