Yoga-Relaxation or Occult?  web article                                    Adapted by Linda Fimbres 
Yoga is from the Sankrit word Yug, meaning "union" (with the Divine, your higher "SELF"). Yoga is a path for transcending the ordinary mind (who you think you are) in order to merge with your "higher SELF" or "God SELF." Yoga means "to yoke" -- to yoke with Brahman (i.e., the "Infinite," the "Universal Spirit," the impersonal force that the Hindus call "God") via the realization of an altered state of consciousness, thereby theoretically releasing oneself from the bondage of endless reincarnation.

Lies of the Enemy  web article
I am a victim and helpless.

Scars   web article
Some years ago, on a hot summer day in South Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not 
realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward the shore.

We trust God to the degree that we believe He unconditionally loves us.
Resist the tempter not the temptation.
God never operates through tyrannical enforcement (fleshly legalism) or through manipulation, intimidation, control, or domination – but Satan does.
      ~ Karen Sackett
As long as you have garbage you're going to have rats.

People won't always live what they profess but they will live what they believe.
~ Timothy Warner

Worry is what people do that don't know God.

Enemy involvement- when a normal problem isn't normal anymore. 
             ~Jim Logan

When the flaming missiles of the enemy are allowed to penetrate the hedge of God's protection they become the refining fire of God.
   ~ Warren Wiersbe

Not every thought that enters your mind is yours.

The wolf's tactic is to seperate the sheep from the sheepherd.

What we don’t understand we fear and what we fear we worship.

Any area that you don’t want God to control - Satan will. ~ Warren Wersby

You can’t worry about something if you are thankful for it. 

If this is from the True and Living God, I accept it. If it is not, I reject it. Show me,
Lord, if it is from You.~Alaine Pakkala

To cower in fear before Satan is a twisted form of worship and is exactly what he wants. Satan is worshiped because he is feared. 

Should we rebuke every negative thought? No! You don’t overcome the father of lies by trying not to believe him. You overcome the lies of this world by choosing the truth, and you keep choosing it until your mind is renewed. 

The enemy attacks through our thoughts: 
fleeting thoughts, well-entrenched thoughts,
enticing thoughts, enticing thoughts, harassing thoughts, accusing thoughts, vague thoughts, confusing thoughts, bizarre thoughts, distracting thoughts, lustful thoughts,
condemning thoughts. ~ Pakkala

“I loose the enemy’s hold on my will. I throw off any bindings, fogs, confusion or paralysis that he may have brought to my will. I choose to exercise my will in agreement with the truth of the Word of God. I can decide. I choose to decide. I am not helpless. I
am not a victim. I am one who overwhelmingly conquers through Christ. I reactivate my will in agreement with God’s choices for me.” ~ Pakkala
