An unbalanced life can show itself in many ways. In prayer though it often looks like conspiracy theory. However the lack of balance can have even more severe problems, it can cause you to lead others towards strange Gods. It can cause division in the Church or in families. It can even effect the battleground of the mind.
So how do we keep balanced?
We must first of all understand that we are three part beings, Body soul and spirit. When we are doing spiritual warfare it is important to stimulate other parts of our mind will and emotions, read other books watch healthy videos even sports. We need to take care of our health and our bodies. We need to control lust of the flesh and lust of the eyes. We need to be humble or we will try and steal God's glory which is disastrous. When we go into warfare we need to go with the Spirit fully charged and ready to lead. The Holy Spirit in us is weak because we
don't allow it to lead us. Before going into warfare learn to pray, go
back to the first of the 5 minutes at a time prayer and get it started. We need to be reading daily our Bibles we need a Bible reading plan. We need to memorize the word, We need to study the word. We also need all the information we can get on what we are called to watch or warfare over. It is important to separate gossip from fact, and facts from God's priorities. To find out God's priorities we have to watch and pray!!!!! The difference between successful prayer and mediocre prayer is strategy, this takes information. No one soldier goes from home into warfare they first get trained. They learn to follow orders, the get self disciplined develop regular hours for eating drinking working resting etc. As Christian we also need to start at boot Camp. Do you know the Weapons of your warfare. If you don't go to back to the lasts weeks posts "Spiritual Boot Camp" as well as July 4 post called "A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR'S STARTING POINT" and learn about it and apply it to your life.
Ephesians 6:. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand . 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
SO PUT ON YOUR ARMOR!!
God's army needs to go armed for battle. 
Don't ask I just wanted to put this picture on the blog
I liked it and it's about balance.
One very important thing you need is people who you can tell everything to. People who will tell you when your life is getting unbalanced and you need a Church. You need to be connected with other Christian and you should regularly be talking at least a little bit with your pastor. Being under good Christian Authority is a covering that is your best defense line Under God.Another thing is that doing warfare and not having a relationship to the Lord is like fighting a war on your own.Never go to war alone never stand on the watch alone, connect with others.
Just for all My American readers the best stand together song I could find
GET YOUR LIFE IN BALANCE
AND YOU WILL HAVE MORE:
TIME JOY AND EFFECTIVE IN WAR.
This shows just how easy it is to get an unbalanced life
