The Bible tells us to lose ourselves, to die to ourselves...AND to love ourselves. Is the Bible contradicting itself? What are we to do towards our SELF?

Are you giving God only the things you don't like about yourself? It is not much of a gift if you only give what you dislike. God likes the things about you that are the most likable, that is why he gave them to you. 

Everything has become about self, self, self...but nobody's self has become better. At least six times in the gospels, Jesus tells us to lose ourselves, deny ourselves, take up our cross, etc. Why does Jesus say this? We must know the difference between "love your neighbor as yourself" and "in the last days, there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self..." 

Jezebel has the men under a spell. And many of them are so blind they can't tell, so their mothers begin to yell. Renouncing is the only thing that will get them well. 

When you are in a downward spiral, a spin, and it feels like there is nothing you can do to pull up. That is emotional spiritual warfare. When your emotions refuse to tell you the truth. What can you do to pull out of it? Has God given us authority over our emotions?

What is a feeling? Where do emotions come from? From the thoughts you think or from your heart? And finally, can anything be done when they go crazy?

A fifth column is any group of people who undermine a larger group or nation from within. Similarly, the enemy has dormant traps in each one of our lives...waiting within to bring destruction when we least expect. But when we are shown the trap we are no longer in harms way. When it is brought to light it no longer has power over us. 

The great thought divide. We need to think about...what we are thinking about. Most people think "their thoughts" all originate with them without even considering what the enemy is sending. When we truly begin to get well is when we are able to divide our thoughts from the enemy's thoughts.  

If you aren't recognizing traps in your life you probably aren't applying the Promises in the Word. Our eyes need to be wide open for where the enemy is looking to trap us. It really seems that when the Lord anoints you traps from the enemy are soon to follow. And that is exactly why God's promises are there. So we can be delivered from the traps.
