fighting my demons

Did I just say the unforbidden word? Yes, yes I did. You did read that right I said "fighting my demons". Even a christian woman like me has demons in her life. Now I am not talking about those possessive horror film demons, I am simply talking about those things that come between me and my father in Heaven. Even though my last post was full of spiritual upliftings and blessings in my life I still fight these demons everyday. First demon, anger. So many times I let anger come over me and without stopping to pray for peace I am quick to respond to this anger. .... feeding that demon....putting fuel on that fire. I must learn to stop, step back, talk to God, and learn how to deal with the problem without jumping to rage. Second demon, misplaced priorities. I have put my foot down...{Loud Stomp}!!!! MY GOD WILL COME FIRST OVER EVERYTHING. He did not put me second while he was on that cross. Serving God and doing what he wants me to do will come first in my life over everything. I know in the future this will be a problem for some to understand.. but they will learn to expect this out of me. Third demon, judgement. Yes, I know what the bible says. Judge not lest ye be judged. I can say all day long that I am not judging but __________ insert whatever im about to judge them on. But if I look at the big picture, I am doing just that. Lord help me fight that demon. And my last one is control. I feel like I must be in control of every aspect of my life. If a problem arises I often do not first turn to God but instead I look for a way to fix it myself. I must learn that God is the ultimate fixer upper. I must lay every problem big or little at  the feet of Jesus. Are you fighting any demons tonight?

James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Even though I fight these demons I know that I can turn to God and he will fight that battle for me. Praise him!
