Do not be unaware and ignorant of his schemes and devices that Satan should outwit you and take advantage of you 2 Corinthians 2:11
Like I was saying yersterday, Satan is good at influencing and capturing the MIND and manipulating the WILL of any being he comes across – so what Paul is saying in 2Corinthians 10:4 is a revelation.
Paul was watching all of this in a vision – while it was showing- and he wrote, “ the weapons of our warfare are not carnal ”- see it is not just about demons oooh- take the demon who was cast out and left for the wilderness but because there is no human WILL and MIND to influence in the Desert, it says, I will go back to civilization where humans are - because in the wilderness- there are no WILLS or MINDS to control- only inanimate objects- so this demon spirit gathers the intelligence to go back to where there are MINDS and WILLS, and coming back and finding the place clean, JESUS says - it goes and looks for 7 other wicked spirits, in fact more wicked than itself, and the persons condition is now worse off. Luke 11:34 & Matthew 12:43ff.
Listen, Satan controls the earth by controlling the MIND; influencing the WILL; by controlling systems and the governments- this is the mystery am showing you- when Satan comes to you he will not tie your hands, he comes after your MIND- he is a master mind player… there is an anointing on him, though corrupted he uses it to influence MINDS and WILLS and until God fortifies you- you will fall for his schemes, devices and deceit.'
You see how easy Satan took hold of the mind of Judas, what did scripture say in Luke 22:3, “ then Satan entered Judas ”- how did he enter him, by influencing his MIND and WILL.
Fast forward, when Satan was beginning to see the mistake he made by influencing the system to take Jesus to the cross. He tried once again to rely on his ability to influence minds and wills. He took the manipulation and influencing of the mind and will to the wife of Pilate and gave her a dream to advise her husband- she got up and said I had a dream this man is innocent don’t kill him - it looks like a good dream right- if they didn’t kill Jesus – will there be salvation? Satan the master manipulator…
Hmm, if God doesn’t help you eerh - your MIND is a child’s play for Satan- he will beat you at this MIND GAME… Satan in heaven was able to manipulate 1/3 of celestial beings to the point where they were ready to dismember themselves and leave their original heavenly estate- this is the one we are dealing with ooh, so Paul said listen your focus should be on protecting your MIND and WILL.
And there, my dear friends is the MYSTERY OF STRONGHOLDS- that the mystery of our warfare are not against CARNAL things but rather the PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS- CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS- and the BRINGING DOWN OF THINGS IN HIGH PLACES IN OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST.
Philippians 2:5 will advise you- let this mind be in you which was also in Christ , there is a kind of mind that must be in you which is also in Jesus Christ- that without this mind being in you- that was also in Christ Jesus – Satan will beat you at this mind game hands down.
Did you realise that the first time when he proposed turning of stones for the bread party, he didn’t quote scripture then when Jesus replied him with scripture- he took him to the mountain- then he quoted scripture--
Satan the manipulator- he will use everything available to manipulate even if it means dressing like a pastor, sending a good dream or an angel and quoting scripture to you, do you now see why Jesus would warn us against false prophets who come in sheep clothing but are wolves in Matthew 7:15… that is why Satan can be in a church meeting and a demon in some other while a pastor filled with the Holy Spirit is preaching- an anointed man is preaching and the demon is joining the person who is inside listening and they are all shouting, Amen.
How many times have you not yelled the name of Jesus- but your case is still the same. Am showing you that there certain issues, it is only the RIGHT functioning of your MIND and will that can unlock them.
The most important part of your body, Satan wants is your MIND - once he hijacks your mind, your thought and your will- you are finished- he will hijack it with doubt, fear, unbelief, insecurity, sorrow, timidity, stress, anxiety…etc.
Understand that the MIND acts as the interface between the body and the Spirit- once he gets your mind he will get your body and spirit. Open your eyes… it is a battle for your mind.
For years I kept wondering, why does it look like-Satan was not afraid of many things – you pray and close your bible, then he comes at night to oppress you and sow weeds among your wheat... I kept searching and asking and seeking...
Let me let on another secret- I told you Satan is not afraid of your fasting or prayers, let me tell you one of the things he is scared of :-
Satan is afraid of the effects of your prayers and what the PRESENCE OF GOD does to you- namely - RENEWAL OF your MIND because once your mind is renewed, he has lost the battle.
He doesn't mind you doing 40 days and night, once your mind is not renewed he knows there can be no power or transformation. So when you begin to pray, he will come to test you through wierd dreams, negative events all in a hid to see if your mind is operating differently. He is afraid of a renewed mind. It is a power struggle for your mind. That is why he will fight you and try to get you not to take your spiritual growth serious.
The mystery of strongholds- that Satan captures territories and individuals- by doing something to their MIND is another dimension of witchcraft.
O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you- Galatians 3:1… bewitching is not only about drinking occultic drinking of blood and eating flesh ooh, he sells a proposition to you in a way and manner that forces you to receive it- and before you know you have given up your power and destiny in exchange for his lies.
So Paul will say elsewhere, “ we are not unaware of his schemes and devices that Satan should outwit us and take advantage of us ” “2 Corinthians 2:11- many devices- different ways- he can come up with all kinds of plans to manipulate the mind of believers.
Yeah, so you have the presence of God in you, and you say no way, Satan cannot come near me, you are a joker- go and read Luke 4:1- Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit yet Satan came to him – You will think your fasting and prayer will have driven him away, YES, but it can attract him too- to do what? to try to influence your MIND and WILL like he tried doing to Jesus. And for three times he tried, until he saw he couldn’t and he left Jesus alone. Then he came back in Peter to check the state of Jesus's mind, Jesus rebuked him and then hs came back through Judas, shameless devil, he doesn't stop ooh...
It’s a battle for your mind…Protect your MIND and your WILL
Shalom and God bless you
