    About this ebook

    Have you ever thought about how much time we waste doing the same thing over and over again? Have you ever thought about how year after year youre spinning you wheels trying to overcome that one thing that has had you bound for 20 years? If youve had a red flag to go up, you recognize that you need to quit but not understanding how to quite you just stop for a season and soon as that temptation raises its ugly head you fall back into the arms of that thing, and the cycle starts all over again. Are you addicted to something and your heart desire is to quite?
    The answer to all that you need is in your loving and trusting a God that youve never seen. Nothing worth having is ever free, but at least you did not have to give your life or the life of your son for the freedom that youre seeking. God has taken care of that for you and me.
    The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is just what you need. We dont have to wander in the wilderness any longer we can go in and possess the Land thats flowing with plenty; in this case, its our mind. Yes, that is exactly what I said we need to possess the promised land of our mind. We have to declare like Joshua declared, we are able to go up and take the country and possess the land from Jordan to the sea, though the giants may be there our way to hinder, God has given us the victory. Amen.
    Man struggle day after day seeking to find a way to escape from the conditions of their lives, not understanding that God from the foundation of the world have already designed a plan for those who will receive His protection and provision for their lives. He tells us that whosoever will let them come, that encompasses a multitude.
    Jesus is the Good Shepherd in the natural the shepherd looks out for the well-fair of the sheep. Much more will the Father of the Shepherd look out for those who trust in Him.
    We live in a world where Adam gave his authority to Satan and now Satan is the god of this world. Even so, we have been given authority (by God) to put our flesh under subjection to our spirit. But if your mind is constantly on evil things it is impossible for your spirit to be in control of your body, therefore we have to renew our mind with the word of God. In so doing we give our spirit man authority over our flesh and that comes from each individual taking authority over their mind.
    Our mind is like an oven if you dont take the time to turn it on nothing is going to get done.
    I beseech you brothers and sisters by the mercies of God that YOU present your body a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, which is YOUR reasonable (You owe Him) service.



    For many years in my life I felt alone even though I came from a family of eleven siblings. When I had time and was not working in the fields I would spend hours along writing stories and poems. Later in life when I went off to college there was always someone playing cards in the student union and I got pulled into participating so that I would not appear anti-social but that wasnt my cup of tea either. I later married a made from Chicago that was on a tour of duty in Germany, so in my last year of college I got married and a couple of days later my then husband was off to Germany and I had to wait for paper work to be completed before I joined him. Weeks later I was off to Germany traveling alone to a country I had only seen on TV. I was all of 20 and on my way to another country alone to be reunited to a man I had only really known one month.
    While in Germany I would have these dreams of scary things holding me down and I was unable to get up, although I was awake. On one occasion I was able to call home and I explained the incident to my Father and his reply, those are demon spirit riding your back coming to oppress you. He said, what you need to do is when that happens again call on the name of Jesus and keep calling until they let you lose. Im like thanks dad, Im over here hundreds of miles from home and you tell me this

      DEDICATION

      I dedicate this book to my husband Joe Nathan Bryant II who was the man at the helm of the ship as I encountered dangerous waters, and who have inspired me to seek out and know the ways of God. To my father and mother the late, Julius and Bernice Clay who made me go to church, whether I wanted to or not.

      To the child I birth, Patrick Grady and my extended family, Larry, Edward, Joe III and Carla Bryant, my many grandchildren and great grandchildren and extended family, who taught me plenty, concerning life that aided in my spiritual growth.

      Especially to, Torrance Debray Bryant McCullom, who went to be with the Lord at the tender age of 17, who loved me unconditionally.

      To the Pastor of the Progressive Church in Scott, Arkansas, Sylvester Van Buren, II whose unique teaching of word mining, inspired me to search the scripture and prove the word. And his tenacity that pushed me beyond my comfort zone and helped me to realize God’s order.

      To Brenda Van Buren and the ladies of the Women Development Class whose disposition and reassurances help to make me the women I am today. In particular: Sharon Hooks, Barbara Casey, Bernice Dodson, Bobbie Bryant, Kristi Cochran, Christy Bryant, LaTonia Isbell, Delphine Dorsey, and Erma Shepherd.

      To Pastors Joe & Juanita Miller and the members of Share-A-Prayer and Word Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas who gave me the opportunity to teach, with that came much study, prayer and maturity.

      To Earlee Armstrong, Jr. and his son, Pastor Anthony Armstrong of the Unity Christian Fellowship Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas who open their doors and afforded me the opportunity to share my spiritual experiences, so that God will be glorified in my life and the lives of others.

      To my many friends who is too numerous to number who played a pivotal role in my natural and spiritual growth, God and I know you by name. Because I believe that every person I have known have aided in my development for the good or bad.

      Last but not least to the members of The Church at Allport, who encouraged and prayed for me often. Who also believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, I say thank you. In particular: The Smith’s (John, Beatrice, and Sara), The Culclager’s (Fred, Alice, Shana, Ella and Jimmie).

      I thank God for His grace and mercy that kept me sober, until I understood His will and purpose for my life

      INTRODUCTION

      HAVE YOU EVER thought about how much time we waste doing the same thing over and over again? Have you ever thought about how year after year you’re spinning your wheels trying to overcome that one thing that had you bound for 20 years? If you’ve had a red flag to go up, you recognize that you need to quit but not understanding how to quite you just stop for a season and soon as that temptation raises its ugly head you fall back into the arms of that thing, and the cycle starts all over again. Are you addicted to something and your heart desire is to quite?

      The answer to all that you need is in you loving and trusting a God that you’ve never seen with your natural eye. Nothing worth having is ever free, but at least you did not have to give your life or the life of your son for the freedom that you’re seeking. God has taken care of that for you and me.

      The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is just what you need. We don’t have to wander in the wilderness any longer we can go in and possess the Land that’s flowing with plenty; in this case, it’s our mind. Yes, that is exactly what I said we need to possess the promised land of our mind. We have to declare like Joshua declared, we are able to go up and take the country and possess the land from Jordan to the sea, though the giants may be there in our way to hinder, God has given us the victory. Amen.

      Man struggle day after day seeking to find a way to escape from the conditions of their lives, not understanding that God from the foundation of the world have already designed a plan for those who will receive His protection and provision for their lives. He tells us that whosoever will, let them come, that encompasses a multitude.

      Jesus is the Good Shepherd in the natural the shepherd looks out for the well-fair of the sheep. Much more will the Father of the Shepherd look out for those who trust in Him?

      We live in a world where Adam gave his authority to Satan and now Satan is the god of this world. Even so, we have been given authority (by God) to put our flesh under subjection to our spirit. But if your mind is constantly on evil things it is impossible for your spirit to be in control of your body, therefore we have to renew our mind with the word of God. In so doing we give our spirit man authority over our flesh and that comes from each individual taking authority over their mind.

      Our mind is like an oven if you don’t take the time to turn it on nothing will happen.

      I beseech you brothers and sisters by the mercies of God that YOU present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is YOUR reasonable (You owe Him) service.

      We must realize the only way we can take control over our flesh is through the word of God and Jesus Christ is that word manifested. In the book of Romans 13:14, we are admonished to put on the Lord Jesus and make not provision for the flesh to fulfill the lust thereof. Yet mankind spends countless hours making provision to satisfy the flesh. When we go contrary to the ways of God we’re in opposition with Him and that’s sin.

      Whatever God has not given you to do, it’s the flesh seeking gratification.

      Renewing our mind is not an option it is paramount for our spiritual growth and survival. The game of life is a war game and we should be in it to win. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [Rom 8:7]

      What we should keep in the fore-front of our mind, we’re not in debt to obey our flesh, but we are in debt to obey the Spirit of God, that’s our reasonable service to Him for Him sacrificing His Son for us.

      So then, they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man has not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. [Rom 8:8-10]

      I can see the children of the world acting like their father the devil, but why should the Children of God display the same behavior, it’s because we have failed to examine ourselves and take on the responsibility as a child of the Most High God and take authority over our flesh, putting it under subjection to our spirit.

      Every opportunity we are given is one for the child of God to be victorious, if we know our enemy. No man go to battle unprepared, when you study God’s
