UP IN THE SPIRIT

When you are on a downer look to the Spirit for an upper. The Spirit will lift you up when you are feeling down. The Spirit works from within you to change your thinking and feeling. You access His thoughts rather then your thoughts. Praying in tongues stirs up the Spirit within you and the flow of thoughts will begin. Now you have access to another source of thoughts  and these thoughts then ignite the corresponding feelings of love, peace and joy. This is how you will need to run your life when things get you down. There are different mood states you will go through the day. Remember the feelings will pass. But you can do something to stay on top. Pray in tongues and this is a sure way to cut through the miasma of thoughts and feelings that depress you. The Spirit has been given to you to stand against the assaults from within and without. Stay fixed in the Spirit so that you don't get distracted by this and that. This and that are sent to discourage you and to pull you down. This is a daily battle you have to wage in the Spirit. When you are led by the Spirit there is no failure for He is in charge. What appears to be a weakness or failure turns out to be part of the course to success. Success is not winning but achieving what you hope to attain. There is no competition here only the way to bless and be blessed.
