Is Your “Enemy” Your “Inner Me”?

in Life Coaching Articles

by Renee Wittrock

heal your inner selfWhile trying to find your inner self, you might run in to conflict within you, causing the need for healing and help with your spirituality.

This is not unusual and you should not be alarmed at the conflict.

The Bible gives you many ways to handle inner self issues. When preaching on this subject, Creflo Dollar said “ sometimes your ENEMY is INNER ME.”  In his sermon, he said that everyone needs to check their roots to make sure that all of their thoughts and actions are grounded in love.

He quoted Ephesians 3:17-19:

17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,

18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God (NIV 2010)

He said that if you can live like this, God will make you “mighty” and give you power in your life.

But, he also said if you are making excuses for yourself or placing blame on others in any area of your life you are not rooted in love.

Think about this, if you are feeling conflict in your life, maybe it is not due to outside circumstances, maybe it is the inner you causing the struggle.

Is it possible that you are your own enemy?

If you consider the verse quoted above: love, as we all know, comes from our hearts and Christ lives there through our faith.

If we are making decisions from our hearts, with a Christ-like love, then there will be no conflict. Because, where there is Christ or God, there is unconditional or Agape love.

That is, if we can understand and be rooted in this kind of love. If we realize, accept and believe that when we make decisions for our lives from our hearts instead of our minds (knowledge), we will be filled to the top with ALL of the fullness (everything he has) of God. Then our spirituality will improve because of it and we will be able to be healed in love.

And, finally, we can find, understand and enjoy our relationship with our inner self.

What do you do to get grounded in love?
