Instead of talking ABOUT the dry bones, talk TO the dry bones, prophecy over the dry bones the way Ezekiel did when the Lord showed him the valley of dry bones. Stop talking about it, and starting talking to it. “In the name of Jesus Christ today will be different, today I will have a different mindset, my mind will be in a different place, today will be a day that I don’t think about any of those things” Be strong and Take heart in the Lord, all you who hope in the Lord. The way you respond to the temptation immediately will influence heavily the turn out, instead of toying with it, do no be tricked by your lack of desire to beat the temptation, just immediately respond in a strong manner, and flee. Paul said he finds himself doing the things he doesn’t want to do and not doing the things he does want to do, so don’t be tricked by not feeling like beating the temptation, respond strongly, you should immediately to it, and flee. The Israelites prayed for 400 years to be free’d from slavery but even when they were on the way to the promise land, they felt like going back to slavery because it was all they knew, it was there comfort blanket. Which seems insane but it shows us that we do the things we don’t want and don’t do the things we do want to do, but take heart in the Lord and run from Egypt, even though you have developed a connection to your old ways like the Israelites, it may just seem easier to give up but, keep taking heart in the Lord and running from Egypt, and you will find your promised land, just keep running, the connection is not who you are, you have just been there for too long and now is your chance to stay strong just keep running, have faith through everything that God is just ABOUT to come through, just be strong one more day.
Prayer: pray in the Lord to give you a new comfort blanket to, something new to hold onto, so that instead of reverting to sin, and having to deliberately think of holy things, we would have to deliberately think of sin if we wanted to and that we always revert to the holy comfort blanket of the Lord. (I dont mean this on a level of actions, but on a level of thoughts, our fears like to run our lives, our worries like to be our comfort blankets, but not today, today the Lord will be our comfort blanket, and worries will have to be deliberately thought of.)
