CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF YOUR THOUGHTS. If for one full week (7days) Christians can intentionally and consciously focus more on studying, focusing, thinking and imagining the quality of love God has for them and believe, accept it by walking in that precious truth, the paramount place of the devil power or influence in their lives will be a past story. One of the big issues we have in the spiritual foundation of some growing believers in the past which has come to largely distort their proper growth/maturity is the indoctrination of their belief system by some clerics and self-acclaimed bible scholars that Satan is still superior to them in everything and that there is need to have another earthly and spiritual mediator between us and God to speak for our spiritual/physical welfare, over the years this form of believe has been upgraded and stylishly fitted into the modern day preachings in the church. For example someone said that he does not not only pray and fast but he includes some sort of animal sacfrices to it for protection and I asked him if he has any scriptural backings for the additional stuff he just talked about, when I saw my talking with him was heading nowhere I immediately disconnected. If you can understand the weight and value of what Jesus has done for you on the cross you will place the devil where he belongs. Most believers go to church having in mind to hear the preacher tell them what the devil has done, when he did it and why he did it (everytime). And never having the passion and heart to grow in the word of God, (you are a product of what you hear, listen to, accept and believe). If you think of untimely death everytime you will eventually die ahead of time, if you have fear of failure you will someday fail.( Thoughts are powerful). The love of God is so rich and endless in such a way he cant leave you to rotten away in the mockery of life so lets look at this scriptures in Ephesians 2:4-5 But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love, wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace are ye saved) (KJV). My Mother has a natural passion for baking, every 5am she is up to do the mixing of what is required for the final products for which her customers will come for later in the morning, initially I see a lot of ingredients but at the end I see them no more, everything has been mixed into ONE, so when buying the meatpie or fish pie etc you are not buying it raw but baked and sweetened. This is what the above scriptures just said that God has QUICKENED us together with Christ, the devil does not see you as a raw material anymore but a finished product, you are mixed together with Jesus by the chief divine baker (God). Light can only beget light and that is the law of creation. The finished product which you are is what the devil is challeging through your ignorance, he want you to believe that you still the oil, eggs, Onions etc but no, you are mixed together with Jesus, you resemble him, you talk like him, your words carry the exact power and weight Jesuss words will do. So who is superior? (Read also from verse 6-22). When faced with the challenges of life, do so with rich and confident references to what God has done for you and who you are. Now let me ask you this, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE SUPERIOR TO THE devil?
