Winning the War Within
Have you ever wondered how so many people can be one way in church and then you catch them acting totally different out of church? Or why so many Christians are up and down and in and out? How some can seem to be so spiritual sometimes yet so carnal other times? Maybe you’ve even wondered about yourself concerning these things. You want so badly to live right and do right, but you find yourself handling things the opposite of how the Word of God is telling you to handle them. I’m not talking about deliberate sins that you plan out. I’m talking about things such as thoughts, words, attitudes, and natural reactions that you constantly find yourself coming up against. You may have even thought you had a split personality, because it seems you are two entirely different people. Most likely, you don’t. There is an explanation to this chaos.
The truth is there’s a real battle going on within your being. It’s the battle between your flesh and your spirit. Before you go and get checked for bipolar, give the wisdom and direction in God’s Word a chance. And even if you have been diagnosed with bipolar, or any other mental, physical or emotional sickness, the Bible is the best medicine, loaded with the wisest counsel and most effective antidote out there. The more your understanding is opened up concerning the reality of this warfare, the easier it is to live the kind of life you really want to live.
My goal is to encourage you to not give up hope on getting to this place and to show you through the Word of God that you can get there—and if you really want to, you will! I’m not saying you’ll never again mess up, but this book will show you how to handle it right when you do. As you get free from the frustrations that come from these struggles, you’ll find that you’re “messing up” becomes less and less, and you’ll become more stable in all areas of your life.
