This post will discuss the
ways in which satan attempts to infiltrate your life. Some you may already be aware of, and others
it wasn’t so obvious that it was one of his tools, being that he and all who
serve him are cowards and therefore without genuine power, they had to try to
compensate for that with some very subtle, clever ways to get in and make
attempts at claiming the soul.
First and foremost satan
makes all kind of effort towards getting you to attack yourself. Mark 3:25 puts this into a more clear
perspective: “And if a house be divided
against itself, that house cannot stand.”
It knows that if it can get you to BELIEVE the lies it is sending your
way, you are under his control. So it
will send you things in your thoughts that may go like this, “you are not any
good, you are not pretty enough, smart enough, you will never succeed, you
should have known better,” ect. You get
the idea. Being that satan has no real
power or authority, EXCEPT THAT WHICH YOU GIVE HIM, he will compensate with
instilling those thoughts until you believe them.
Then we arrive at what
Jesus had declared, “It is done unto you as you believe.” Beliefs are not always truth, but you can
make them TRUE for YOU if you believe in them.
So say you believe the lie that you are not worthy enough of love, then
very soon you start experiencing this on the physical level, where people you
have to have contact with validate your beliefs for you. “Have I not said ye are gods,” Jesus
declared. You are all little creators,
walking around with your magic wands in your minds creating validating
experiences of your beliefs, whether they are truth or not truth, for your life. Granted, some of these beliefs become the
major programs of your life. So then,
can you not see the utter importance of dissecting what you believe and WHY you
believe it and then eliminate those that do not align up with truth. The truth of God is always constructive and
loving and if you return to your ability to sense these things, you can use
that as a guide as well. God only lifts
up those whom he loves.
Some may say that they have
had a rough life, filled with trials and tribulation. You may feel that God has turned his back on
you, but this is a lie. God only and forever
will LOVE you, no matter what, and his business is forgiveness. However, if you are JUDGING yourself, living
in self-pity, condemnation, guilt, shame and humiliation then you are causing
your own grief and it does not serve you to blame God for this. You are in violation of the above, and it is
now being “done unto you as you have believed.”
Stop. Just stop with all the
attack of yourself, and humble yourself in the Lord. I can name a thousand reasons why we may find
ourselves in any of those conditions, but I promise you, those are lower vibrational
states which make you easily controlled and a slave to satan. In my own experience of surviving my family
with all of its incestuous, demented beings, allowing them to formulate beliefs
for me that I took as truth (which were unworthiness, self-disgust and that I
should be thankful for anyone who would tolerate me), contributed greatly to me
attracting more of the same or worse in my life. This caused me great suffering for many
years, until I realized I needed to change my beliefs and align them up with the
truths of God. Now, I am living life in
freedom. I do my best not to resort to self-attack,
but rather choose self-love. It helps to
look at all the experiences of life as LESSONS, and I can honestly say that
once we learn those lessons they are cleared and no longer repeated.
Here is an exercise to help
you identify where you may have some work to do:
Items needed: favorite pen, journal or notebook, Bible
1.
Find some quiet
space where you will not be disturbed for an hour. Out in nature is a great choice.
2.
Start to quiet your
mind, take deep, meaningful breaths and with every exhale mentally state that you
are letting go that which no longer serves you, even if you are not consciously
aware of it. Take about 4 minutes to do
this, or longer if it feels right for you.
3.
Now, ask God to show
you where your primary work is found, and state your willingness to see only
the Truth no matter what it looks like.
He may show you your father, mother, grandparents, for you may have
taken on their beliefs just from being around them, and they may not be
truthful ones. Write down anything that
comes to your mind.
4.
Meditate on how this
has contributed to your life experience, more specifically contributed to
giving you beliefs that do not serve you.
Focus especially on where you feel it has kept you in prison. Remember to do this objectively, without any
judgement.
5.
Ask God to show you
how you can start to change this, and just sit for a moment with this. Write down any guidance you receive. He may guide you to start to feel your
feelings, or guide you towards forgiveness of yourself. Just be open to what God is sending you. Also, remember that if you are “trying too
hard” you are closing off your channel of Divine Connection. If insights do not arrive right away, know
that they will eventually come. Force
blocks the connection. Surrender and
trust strengthen it
.
6.
Reflect on Proverbs
18:20-22 to learn how powerful words are, and how destructive the words we tell
ourselves can be if not aligned with love and truth.
7.
Commit to clearing
out all that keeps you in bondage, and just remain open to any insights that
God sends your way.
8.
Humbly honor
yourself for caring enough about you to partake in this exercise, and then extend
your gratitude to God.
9.
It is DONE UNTO YOU
AS YOU BELIEVE. May you choose to believe
and know that you deserve to be free and are greatly loved.
Good for you in choosing to
care enough about yourself to enter through the narrow gate! It is not easy, doing all this personal work,
removing hypocrisy, feeling feelings, acknowledging the truth no matter what it
looks like, but to your soul, it is so worth it!!
You are greatly loved!
