WELCOME TO INSPIRATION NATION
WHERE WE WILL REVIEW 1 chapter of JOYCE MEYER’s book, “The Battlefield of the Mind” each day during APRIL!
The Cliff Notes from today’s reading:
“Chapter 11: A DOUBTFUL AND UNBELIEVING MIND”
We associate doubt and unbelief together, but actually they can cause a person to act in different ways. Doubt causes a person to waiver between 2 or more choices whereas unbelief leads one to disobey. Change can not happen if either one exist. Understanding the two things will allow you to know exactly how to fight against them.
1: WHEN IN A BATTLE AND DOUBT & UNBELIEF CREEPS IN LEAN ON GOD’S PROMISES
When God tells us to do something we need the faith to believe we have the ability to accomplish it. That faith is giving to us through His Word. We must align our mind and flesh with that same faith to conquer the plans of the enemy.
2: WALK ON WATER
Our decisions should not be derived from our feelings we make during the storm. They are not rational! We all have the power to walk on water if we keep our focus on God and not the storm we are in.
3: NO WAVERING ALLOWED!
In the midst of a decision and doubt appears you need to quiet your mind and look into your heart & listen to the voice of God. Only God will be able to direct you. Don’t allow the situation to push you to place you are not suppose to be. It is stated in James 1:7 that “a double-minded man is unstable.”
KEY TAKE-A-WAYS from Chapter 11: A Doubtful and Unbelieving Mind
1. “It’s not that we don’t have faith, it is just that Satan is trying to destroy our faith with lies” Joyce Meyer
2. Step out and stay out! Always keep your focus on God and not your situation.
3. God has an ultimate plan for your life, don’t allow the devil to steal any part of it with lies he is going to tell you!
DIVA ASSIGNMENT:
- Today’s reading assignment is to read Chapter 11 of the book only.
- During a storm in your life what steps do you take to make a decision? How do you quiet your mind so you can hear from God? Example: I go in the hallway closet and just sit in silence.

Hi my name is Wanda Howard. I currently reside in Silver Spring, MD with my I very supporting & loving husband, Ken and my very beautiful & caring daughter, Kayia. I was welcomed to the FFF family in January 2015, when I realize my Temple was worth more than how I was treating it! What a journey……..It took a broken foot and several health issues before I realized that I needed to do away with all my excuses and make a drastic change in my nutrition to experience any weight loss success. The journey God’s taking me on is equipping me with tools and knowledge to help others reach their goals and I am loving it! Deuteronomy 2:3 You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north!!!
When I’m going through a storm I stop to think of His word. The early morning hours before anyone else is awake is when I listen and talk back with him. I’ve learned that after I’ve been given what I need to weather the storm it’s on me to execute the plan.
