You cannot afford not to read, study, absorb and apply this message to your Christian life, if you plan on winning your spiritual battles and keep from failing the Lord and falling into enemy hands.
Satan’s demons will build a fortress in your mind before you even recognize what’s happening to you, if you do not renew your mind by God’s Word.

And then working with the Word you need to learn to discipline your mind to think the thoughts of God along with him, or after Him, and not permit any other thought to intrude and break into the train of thought from Scripture.
This is a practice that all of us as Christians must learn, and it is not that easy for most of us.
(Romans 12:2) “And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”.
As Christians we’re not to live like the ‘sinful world’. We’re not to be conformed, or (squeezed into it’s mold), but we are admonished to renew our minds.
HOW?
By the Word of God.
Our thoughts will follow either what we love or what we fear. We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength” (Matt. 22:37-40).
READ: SEATED WITH CHRIST IN HEAVENLY PLACES
When we love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, our thoughts follow our love. When we love God supremely, all we think about is God, all the day long.
When we love Jesus with all our soul and mind, all we think about is Jesus and how we can please Him. When we love God with everything within us, we always want to obey His commandments, and we never want to displease Him. Amen?
(I John 2:15-17) “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, if any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world, and the world passes away and the lust thereof, but he that does the will of the Father, abides forever.
READ: HE THAT ENDURES TO THE END THE SAME SHALL BE SAVED
We’re not to love the world. Now, my friend, this scripture isn’t talking about loving the planet and it’s beauty. We should love God’s creation even though it’s beauty has been marred by sin, and man made pollution.
Loving the gorgeous mountains, and valleys, lakes and streams is simply loving what God has created. It glorifies God to love the forests, and flowers, and grass and shrubs. It pleases God when you see and delight in the deer and antelope.

But loving the world in this scripture means something else. It’s loving this world’s goods with all it’s evil allurements, pride and all that pertains to it under Satan’s control.

It refers to government without God. Education without God. Finances without God. Religion without God. Politics apart from God and every other area of this world without God.
Scripture tells us that if we love this world that promotes the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and exalts mans pride rather than the stabilizing virtue of humility, God’s not in it, and hates every bit of it.
READ: GOD, IF YOU’RE REAL I NEED YOU NOW
God help us to take control of our thoughts and regain rule of our minds in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Racism, for example is something that if we allow it to run freely in our minds and take up racism’s cause, we can no longer be Christians and children of God.
IS THERE RACISM IN OUR WORLD AND IN OUR COUNTRY? YES, OF COURSE. SHOULD WE BE AGAINST IT, AND DO WHAT WE CAN TO OPPOSE IT? AGAIN, I SAY, “YES, OF COURSE”.
BUT, WE MUST DO IT GOD’S WAY.
AND, WHAT IS GOD’S WAY?

EVERYTHING STARTS OUT WITH COMING TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. WE MUST HUMBLE OURSELVES BEFORE HIM, AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE SINNERS AND ARE LOST.
WE MUST ALSO REALIZE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY SAVIOR, AND BY HIM, AND HIM ALONE CAN WE COME TO GOD OUR FATHER.
(Jn 14:6) Jesus said unto Thomas, “I am the way and the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father, but by Me”. So when we come to Christ as our Lord, and not just as our Savior, we must, and I say, we must obey Him and do as He tells us.
READ: WHERE IS GOD IN THIS PANDEMIC?
Now, enemy spirits will tell us that Jesus isn’t Savior, and that we don’t need a Savior. He will tell us that we are our own Savior, by our own power, and knowledge and we will make a perfect world for ourselves, and we don’t need any god.
Then there are spirits that will attach themselves to a person and convince them that Jesus isn’t the only way to God. They will persuade them that there are many paths to ‘God’, and which ever way they choose that’s perfectly all right.
READ: IS DELIVERANCE A DIRTY WORD?
NOW BACK TO OUR THOUGHT ON RACISM. THERE IS A WORLD RULING SPIRIT OF RACISM WHOSE WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO PIT ONE RACE AGAINST ANOTHER, AND TO CREATE HAVOC, CHAOS, DIVISION, AND BLOODSHED.
READ: FAITH CHANGES EVERYTHING
TRUE CHRISTIANS CANNOT BE RACISTS. Racists will not go to heaven. If you are a ‘white’ Christian you will love the ‘black’ Christian, and if you are a ‘black’ Christian you will love the ‘white Christian’.
READ: DID YOU KNOW YOU MAY HAVE A SOUL TIE WHICH MAY BE HURTING YOU?
If we have hate for one another because of skin color we are sinning against our God, and we must repent. I say, we must repent or we will not go to heaven. IT IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. SIMPLY PUT, IF YOU OR I HATE WE WILL GO TO HELL.
(I John 2:9-10) “He who says he’s in the light and hates his brother is in darkness even until now. He that loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him”.
As Christians, God does not permit us to hate anyone. No matter what they did to us. If you committed a crime against someone of another skin color and it is proven true according to law, then that person should be sentenced according to his crime.
READ: GET RID OF THE SPIRIT OF FEAR TODAY
But even then, we must not hate that person. HATE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINS THAT MAN CAN COMMIT.
SPIRITS OF ‘HATE’ WORK HAND IN HAND WITH THE WORLD RULING SPIRIT OF RACISM, AND TOGETHER THEY RIDE INTO THE MIDST OF CHAOS, LOOTING, BURNING, AND DESTROYING.
READ: SHOULD I SPEAK IN TONGUES?
People of all races are the losers, and Satan is the winner. There’s a Spirit of Lawlessness let loose in America and the world, and Satan has pulled out all the stops, and wants hatred to be stoked up to a fervent heat, and boil over on the people, and destroy everything in it’s path.
The Devil wants to destroy businesses, lives, families, and America itself. No race is inferior to the other, and no race is superior to the other. God created the races and wants all to come to Him, and be saved.
He wants all to love one another, to have peace, joy, blessing, and respect one for another, and He wants all to love Him with all their heart, soul, strength, and mind, and to love their black, white, brown, and yellow neighbor as themselves. AMEN?
READ: FIVE THINGS SATAN DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW
SATAN WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD, AND SOON HE WILL, FOR A SHORT TIME. THAT TIME IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING AND IT IS CALLED, ‘THE GREAT TRIBULATION’.
Satan who is called the ‘god of this world’, because he’s blinded the minds of them that believe not, so that the glorious light of the gospel of Jesus Christ will not shine upon this world so they will get saved” (2 Cor. 4:4).
RACISM IS ONE OF SATAN’S GREAT WEAPONS THAT HE IS USING TO BRING ABOUT THE FALL AND DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA.
Daniel Yoder, was taken by an angel to a place where Satan was talking to his destroying army of fallen angels and telling them, “WHEN I DESTROY AMERICA, I THEN WILL BE ABLE TO RULE THE WORLD. And according to scripture, God actually allows him to rule for a very short period of time.
READ: SADLY, GOD IS CALLING HIS ANGELS BACK BECAUSE CHRISTIANS AREN’T USING THEM ANY MORE.
Jesus tells us about that time, and it is the most terrifying time the earth has ever seen, and ever will see. IT’S JUST AROUND THE CORNER. PREPARE, PREPARE, PREPARE. (Matt. 24:21)
BROTHER, SISTER, TAKE BACK YOUR MINDS FROM THE DEVIL. ONLY THEN, WILL YOU TRULY BE ABLE TO LIVE FOR AND SERVE GOD. YOU CAN ONLY BATTLE THE DEVIL AND WIN, WHEN YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR MIND, ONCE AGAIN.
DON’T LET FEAR RULE YOUR LIFE.
READ: THE WORD OF GOD, LIVING, BREATHING, CREATIVE, AND LIFE GIVING
Again, Fear is a ‘World ruling Spirit’, and will destroy everything in it’s path. It will paralyze you, and take the reigns of your thought life into realms of terror, horror, and destruction.
TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE, TODAY.
READ: WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES, OR ARE WE?
Again, recovery begins when you and (I) ‘Surrender our all’ to Jesus and allow the Word of God to renew our minds.
(2 Cor. 10:4-5) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, – AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY THOUGHT TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST”.
READ: DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW VERSATILE TONGUES ARE?
Fear takes over when we focus on current events or problems that loom before us like monsters, and fire breathing dragons.
HERE’S WHAT TO DO, IN ORDER TO DETHRONE FEAR.
We begin to use our ‘Spiritual Weapons’. The first weapon we must use is the ‘WORD OF GOD’. (Eph. 6:17) “And take the ‘Sword of the Spirit[‘ which is the Word of God’.
Wield your sword. Use the Word of God skillfully. It is so powerful and so sharp that it will divide between soul and spirit, between joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
READ: BORN AGAIN BY THE INCORRUPTIBLE WORD
The Word of God is alive and paves a pathway of salvation, deliverance, healing, blessing, and spiritual breakthrough.
The Word of God defeats the devil. The Word of God is light and scatters the darkness. The Word is life and conquers death.
The Word of God strengthens the inner man. The Word of God encourages the heart and mind. The Word of God is a light unto our path.
(Isaiah 41:10) “Fear not for I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.”
READ: WORKING WITH ANGELS
THIS IS A VERY COMFORTING AND REASSURING SCRIPTURE. TAKE HOLD OF IT AND DON’T LET IT GO.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS BY RENEWING YOUR MINDS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.
TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE BY USING THE WEAPONS WHICH ARE MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS…”
THESE ARE:
THE NAME OF JESUS; THE STRIPES OF JESUS FOR HEALING; THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB FOR OVERCOMING THE DEVIL; BINDING AND LOOSING IN THE NAME OF JESUS; TONGUES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT; THE FIRE OF GOD; AND THE LIGHTNINGS OF GOD;
TAKE BACK YOUR THOUGHT LIFE, BY LOVING GOD SUPREMELY AND LOVING YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOUR SELF NO MATTER WHAT NATIONALITY THEY ARE, AND LOVING THEM NO MATTER WHAT SKIN COLOR THEY HAVE.
DEMONS WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER PERSON’S SKIN COLOR IN ITSELF IS SINFUL.
That they are sinners and abominable because they have ‘white skin, or black skin, or brown, yellow, or red skin. THAT THOUGHT WAS SPAWNED IN THE VERY PITS OF HELL ITSELF.
If God would open your spiritual eyes you would see the ugliest, most powerful spirits of ‘Racism, Hate, Violence, Murder, and Bloodshed.
No Christian can have any part in supporting those murderous spirits. Let us lift one another up, and lift up those who are hurting, whether they are brown, black, white, yellow or whatever. Then God will call us His children.
As Believers in Jesus Christ, we’re to be known by our love one to another. Truly loving one another. Truly helping one another, and truly blessing one another. As genuine Christians we are to love one another in deed and actual caring for one another regardless of our race, nationality, or skin color.
BE VERY CAREFUL THAT YOU DON’T ALLOW YOUR POLITICS TO BECOME YOUR RELIGION. IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN THEN PROVE IT BY RESPECTING THOSE OF DIFFERENT RACES AND DIFFERENT SKIN COLORS.
WE MUST PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND PRAY WITH ONE ANOTHER, WE MUST BLESS ONE ANOTHER AND ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER.
TAKE BACK THE CONTROL OF YOUR THOUGHTS, BY BINDING THE DEMONS OF FEAR, MIND CONTROL, AND FEARFUL IMAGINATIONS IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
(Matthew 18:18) Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven….and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven”.
So, we bind on earth fear, hate, jealousy, envy, revenge, racism, violence, rage, lies, deception, and pride, and what we bind on earth is then bound in heaven.
Let me say, that we can’t bind in others what we haven’t repented of and gotten rid of and been delivered from for ourselves first.
Then we loose love, love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, peace and harmony in our churches, families, and nation. THIS CAN HAPPEN ONLY WHEN WE ARE TOTALLY COMMITTED TO JESUS CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM.
When we as one, and as one church united, pray together in the Spirit, GOD WILL HEAR US, AND WE WILL ACTUALLY SEE THINGS BEGIN TO CHANGE. THEN, WE WILL SEE THE POWERS OF DARKNESS PUSHED BACK AND DEFEATED, IN JESUS NAME.
SHARE THIS ON F.B.
