“My Enemy?” Blog # 237
The minute I wake up, do I pray for Jesus’ help today?
Does weakness eat away at my brand new day?
Can I turn my back on the enemy within, find discipline now?
As I read this, I see “twelve golden hours” ahead of me untouched. I can choose to make
these next twelve hours filled with disciplined choices, or DO NOTHING - NO PLAN OF
POSITIVE ACTION? I can stay connected to the “enemy within” turn days, months and years
into sadness, or choose POSITIVE RESULTS. The first thing I can do is put in place a DAILY
CALENDAR FOR THIS MONTH. I can make one from a plain piece of white paper. I have 30
days ahead of me.
Now I write down all the “amounts of time” spent each day on WHAT?
Sitting at my computer wasting hours surfing the internet? Playing mindless games?
Watching movies? However, I can seek out Job information and how to go forward finding
reliable sources to improve my life in every way starting with health.
I must understand this:
IF I DO SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH MY DAY - I SUCCEED IN EVERY WAY.
In 1939, Dorothy was in the movie “The Wizard of Oz”. The message was loud and clear
throughout the movie, Dorothy was traveling with three friends to see the Wizard of Oz. She
was with the cowardly lion. He wanted to be BRAVE and lose his fear so he was in search
of COURAGE. The Tin Man felt he had no HEART to discern the right thing to do! The
scarecrow was in search of a BRAIN. He wanted intelligence to make the right decisions!
So Dorothy and the cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow and the Tin Man, all travel to Emerald
City to find what each of them feels is missing in their life. Finally, they are going to
Emerald City where they can overcome their fear, and ask the The Wizard Oz to help them
do this. Yet the big surprise awaits them when Dorothy faces her fear and managed to
pull back the curtain of the great Wizard. (This is a great metaphor for the “Curtain of Life”
which is often so deceptive.) As Dorothy pulls back the curtain she finds a tiny, old man
who had appeared to be the frightening, fearful, dragon-like monster, The Wizard of Oz.
This was nothing more than a made up machine orchestrated by the little old man! The
entire showcase was a fear-based sensation to intimidate anyone crossing its path.
Nothing more to it than a made-up machine. How much of our fear in life is exactly like
that? Here lies the enemy within.
For it is our fear of NOT WANTING TO DO WHAT OUR HIGHER SELF EXPECTS INTERNALLY.
F. E. A. R. FALSE EVENTS APPEARING REAL. FEEL THE FEAR AND DO IT ANYWAY
So the message from the movie, “The Wizard of Oz”, Use your BRAIN and care about
yourself enough to have compassion and courage and a kind heart to overcome the FEAR
WITHIN. Dorothy met the good witch and she killed the bad witch. That's enough for me to
remember every person has a GUARDIAN ANGEL TO HELP WITH THE DARKNESS. Say a
powerful prayer of Protection and courage, strength and tenacity is instant.
I keep remembering; 95% of everything I am afraid of, NEVER EVEN HAPPENS.
I UNDERSTAND SET-BACKS ARE UNAVOIDABLE, YET GIVING UP IS UNFORGIVABLE.
So today I prayerfully speak internally and ask, “Help me Jesus, show me the way”
“Can I rid myself of the enemy within and be not afraid?”
