Practical considerations

Write the truth trainer down on a 3x5 card, thus:
I
feel ___________, but it is only a feeling brought on by my past
experiences. It is not a true reflection of my relationship with God
or what He is doing in my life. Those things are determined by the
Word of God, and this what it says:
___________ (Scripture) ____________.
This
way it can be used for any ungodly feeling, with any appropriate
Scripture. Also write the Scriptures down on 3x5 cards. Take the 3x5
cards with you where ever you go. Especially in the beginning, if you
feel overwhelmed with the negative feeling you are working on, nothing
has to be left to memory. You can take the cards out and read them.
I
worked on training one feeling at a time. I found 6 to 8 Scriptures
which affirmed each truth. If I was under assault by negative feelings,
I would read all my Scriptures on that topic, outloud to myself, over
several times again if necessary. In the beginning, this meant I was
reading Scriptures to myself all day long. Thats okay: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Faith, belief, bricks in the stronghold of truth, were being built up
in the core of my being each time I heard the word of God.
Consistent,
determined assault, discipline, is the key to success. A person should
notice improvement in the diminishing frequency of negative feelings
asserting themselves by the end of the first week. I developed a
Scripture study plan for myself, though, that I followed while engaged
in stronghold-building and stronghold-demolition, just to make sure
more certain ...
