🔥THE WAY OUT OF NEGATIVE MENTAL STATES🔥- ReBirth☄️- DAY 10

“ For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. ”- 2 Corinthians 10:3-5

We understand from this scripture that sometimes thoughts can become so powerful in our lives that they become what the bible calls “ STRONGHOLDS”. Then they begin to exalt themselves against the knowledge of God and his word- vrs 3 says “ for though we walk in flesh- our warfare is not physical ”

Listen carefully, I don't know how many times I have to say this, but I will keep saying it, till it is a broken record, our warfare is not physical ooh - the weapons of our warfare – so warfare is for sure- but you are been guided on how to engage it- look let me tell you, living is warfare; prosperity is warfare; family life is warfare, health is warfare, growth is warfare, work/business is warfare, everything is warfare, being a Christian is warfare.

And he has given us the character of this WARFARES and he says the weapons of our warfare are not CARNAL- and the entire arsenal is to achieve one purpose- the pulling down of strongholds.

So tell me- What kind of warfare is this, that the enemy is not a human being- he never said to pull down evil spirits, think about that- he didn’t even say to pull down demons- that this warfare - that God has to give you tools to use and he says this fight- is not against flesh and blood- that the fight is to pull down STRONGHOLDS- to cast down imaginations, and every high thing, not high person- high thing- high information that exalts itself against the knowledge of God- this is the warfare you are engaged in.

So do you now understand why we have to talk about the MIND, law of thought and issues surrounding the activities of the mind extensively. The battle is first won or lost in your mind.

Please get this- that God gave you this tools; spiritual weaponic tools- that this fight is not against flesh and blood- but that as far as this fight is concerned- God gave you- SPIRITUAL TOOLS to pull down STRONGHOLDS- to CAST IMAGINATIONS, to dethrone HIGH THINGS and to bring NEGATIVE THOUGHTS , STRONGHOLDS, IMAGINATIONS, high THINGS- to the obedience of Christ.

I want to tell you certain things about strongholds and their strong men-that I left out- permit me me do a circle back and then we can conclude on the issues concerning the “ Law of thought ”

Let’s begin with Jesus, since He is our master and we are following him. Jesus is the embodiment of the Godhead- full of grace and truth- Jesus goes to fast like the way you are doing now in Matthew 4:1ff-

Take note, Jesus is fasting and Satan is waiting for him- instead of the fasting to drive away demons- the fasting was attracting the commander-in-chief of demons namely Satan. Can you imagine? Satan is not afraid of the fact that Jesus is fasting- and you think he is afraid of your fasting?

This is Jesus ooh- being the Son of God alone should command some respect, then fasting for 40 days, no food- no water- and Satan is not afraid-

I would have thought Satan will be rolling and shouting and moving up and down as a result of the prayers - Jesus was offering during the 40 days and night---

Let me shock you…the church has never scared Satan- the presence of God has never scared him either- listen carefully. Yes, listen- this is the hard truth- what am telling you- accounts for why someone can come to the church and is a serious occultist, or someone can come to the church and is a witch or wizard.

This accounts for why someone can have one foot in the church and the other at a shrine and the person can be in the singing ministry, the person can even be a pastor or an usher or even the church president, but is meddling in dark stuff.

Am I shaking your foundations right, sorry but you heard me right, the church has never scared Satan- the presence of God has never scared him either.. So what scares Satan, I will tell you soon.

But before then, let me take you back to Job- Job 1:6ff to be specific- once upon a time, the Sons of God went for a meeting to show themselves to the Lord- and scripture says Satan was there some. At that time he had fallen- otherwise, God wouldn’t have asked him- where are you coming from?

Satan goes before God in heaven and God says to him where are you coming from? Can you imagine, God having a chat with Satan …it’s in your bible, go and check it out. Now, Satan replied am coming from moving to and fro- the earth - what location? - earth - take note

Then God asked- have you considered my servant Job ? God is asking Satan questions. Like I can't think far- question and answer session between God and Satan.

Then Satan revealed something- he said- “ you put a hedge ” in plain words you put a protection around Job - which prevents me from touching him- so if you like- just bring down that hedge, that protection and see what I will do to JOB and how Job will turn against you.

What was Satan’s request? Hedge be removed for him….just to touch Job…. Job once said – in the days of my youth when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle- those secrets built a fortification in the realm of the spirit Meaning there was a time in his life, he was untouchable, the time when the secret of God was upon his tabernacle, and those secrets built a fortification in the realm of the spirit around him. And this was what Satan was seeking God to take away so he could touch Job.

...and scripture says Satan came- not a demon ooh – Satan came himself- whether Job was praying or not the fortifications were there- he was a man of prayer, a man of power… Satan feared Job- but he stood before God and God granted him (Satan) his request. Jobs life went down and came up again- we know that story too well.

Fast forward into the future, In Luke 4:1ff - Jesus just finished praying and fasting- in your mind you believe you have fasted and prayed several times and you are still fasting and praying or?

So that is supposed to drive away all demons or?- Oh yes some demons have been driven away, true—but your prayers and seriousness with your spiritual life has also attracted some other demons. Let me tell you, there are some other demons, that something else must added to the prayer and fasting before they can be driven away.

So pay attention, Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit- goes to fast and pray- Jesus the bread of life, God’s only begotten Son, Holy Spirit rested on him at his baptism and filled him, prayed for 40 days & nights-

...and after 40 days the first person /being to appear was the DEVIL. Can you imagine? Is it beginning to make sense to you, how you can be praying and still having terrible dreams or you can be praying and things and people will still be molesting you?

PRAYER attracts the 👿 Devil...
