Enemies Within our Household

Part II

By Andrei Yashurin

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans
8:31), enthusiastically exclaimed Paul, comprehending
the greatness of divine power and divine love. However,
this question has an answer. We can be our worst enemies,
if we allow ourselves to entertain thoughts which are contrary
to God's Truth. We are divinely protected from anybody and
anything, except ourselves, because God never interferes
with our freedom of choice.

Our most important choice, the one that we make almost every
second, is between self-limiting and and self-affirming
thoughts and attitudes. No enemy can take away our good,
but we ourselves may refuse to accept it.

Why shouldn't we want to be successful? For the fear of pride
and consequent punishment? For the fear of changes? For the fear
of others? All objections against success we may remember, even
so-called scriptural objections, are too shallow. God thinks
that we deserve to use and to enjoy all good things in our
world, otherwise they would never appear. As humans, we've
been destined to experience the fullness of life. Life was
not meant for trials and tribulations, and we know it deep
in our hearts, even if we've been taught something different
since our childhood.

"Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are
the issues of life"(Proverbs 4:23). In other words, we need
to be watchful, not allowing our hearts and minds to be
polluted by negativism. If our innermost springs will remain
pure, our whole life will reflect this purity and divine
perfection.

But why do people accept wrong ideas about God, life, and
themselves?

One of the reasons is soul attachment to those who express
these ideas. The fact is, we want to love, and to be loved,
especially when it comes to our authority figures. Most of
us would like to be loyal to our parents and teachers, to those
who influenced us in a positive way, to those whom we admire
and respect. There is nothing wrong with being loving and loyal -
but sometimes we come to a point when we stop being watchful.
We don't judge words of those people careful enough, being
ready to swallow anything that they say.

My advise is to act in a different way, and to have a mind
of our own, especially when we interact with those whom we love.
Let us do our own thinking, and, if necessary, dare to be
different. True love will never be diminished in a case of
honest and sincere disagreement. Our supreme love should
be love to God's Truth. Our supreme loyalty should be loyalty
to God's Truth, for there is nothing higher.

Let me suggest following statements of denials and affirmations
to those who want to get of rid of "enemies" within "household"
of their mind:

I have the power to deny and to dissolve all negative conditions
in my life, and to transmute evil into good.

I let go of all concerns about my success, and I let God to
prosper and bless me in every way.

I let go of all concerns about the future. I live today, fully
using all the opportunities that are being given to me.

I deliberately free myself from all mental habits that do
not contribute to my happiness.

I am transformed by the renewing of my mind.

I think of the things which are pure, noble and worthy of love.

The Truth of God sets me free, in my mind and in all of my affairs.

The whole world responds to the positive mental picture that
I hold in my consciousness.

Thought by thought, I change my life.
