Evil Forebodings.

All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil (by anxious thoughts and forebodings), but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast (regardless of circumstances). Proverbs 15:15 AMP.

Many times in spite of the good that is happening around us, we can face an oppressive atmosphere that seems gloomy as though something dreaded is about to happen! We may even be in peace at the moment and still feel a sense of "something is about to go wrong"! This is what the Amplified Bible calls "evil forebodings"-which is, having worry and anxiety that is not based on true circumstances or situations! The enemy of our souls-Satan the Devil, works hard to attack the believers mind and heart to bring about a vague feeling of-"is God really in control of my life?" The only way to combat this overwhelming feeling of dread is to aggressively pray that God will change our minds in believing something good will happen to us rather than being negative and expecting the worse! The Living Bible says,"When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong." The Devil robs us in our thoughts and want us to doubt God's goodness and love for us-thus making it difficult for us to enjoy everyday life! We will have a better outlook for our lives from the Holy Spirit in aggressive prayer and thanksgiving for whose we are and what the Lord will continually do on our behalf! We need to be around positive people as much as possible and the "Word of God" to see the encouragement of the Lord and watch Him show up "big" to intervene on behalf of His people.

Read Psalm 103 and Ephesians Chapter 1.
