We need to have the mindset of going out to conquer. I encourage you to ask yourself, as I did, ‘What needs to be conquered in my life? What strongholds remain that need to be destroyed? What habits tenaciously hang on that do not exemplify the Lord? What emotional fillers do I turn to in order to neglect my hidden pain?’

In 1975 I had my light switch  hooked up to my radio. The moment I walked through the front door I would switch it on. Why? I wanted to drown out my emotional pain. The radio was my effective distractor.

In 1983 the Holy Spirit began dealing with the unresolved issues buried in my heart. That changed the course of my spiritual life. I had no idea. He is so faithful. He waits until we have the necessary groundwork of truth laid before He reveals the hidden. 

I love Hebrews 4:13 Amplified. I use it in prayer and counseling. It says, “For not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.”
