As a child of God, you need to understand that with everything that’s inside of you is that the battle we fight spiritually, always ends up in the mind. Because whoever has the control of the mind, can control the physical world. Why is that?

The mind is the most active part of the soul.
Your soul is divided into the mind, the will, and the emotions. You have the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is whereby, when you are learning to drive, you’re learning with the conscious mind. But the more you do it, it goes into your subconscious. So even when you’re not paying attention to the road, your subconscious is still driving because you’re on auto-pilot. So your mind is the most active part. When you sleep, your conscious mind is turned off but your subconscious is still turned on. So when you do affirmations, etc, you’re programming your subconscious mind which is the most important part of your mind because it makes everything you do physically be a reflex. You just react because your subconscious mind is already running the show.
So Satan understands if he gets a hold of your mind, he gets ahold of your life. Because as a man thinketh, so is he. So when the devil gets a hold of somebody’s mind… When people say they’ve sold their soul to the devil, it means their mind and life will be influenced and controlled by Satan! Satan doesn’t gain anything by somebody dying because he has no control of death because even he will be swallowed up by death. Satan wants you alive so that he can use you. Nobody can use the dead. Satan doesn’t go to the cemetery and recruit the dead. So it’s in Satan’s best interest to have you alive so he can use you for his evil and wicked will. The moment you die, he has no say in that. It is God’s judgment and time. You pass away and you either end up in the heavens or you end up in the pit. Satan cannot control the people in the pit. Even demons that are in hell are tormented. They torment the souls in there because they themselves are also tormented.
This is why when Jesus landed in a certain city with his disciples, when they came off the boat and arrived at the shore, the evil spirits in the man ran to him and said, “Son of the living God, what do you want with us? Please don’t send us to the pit.” They were begging him not to send them to hell. Even demon’s don’t want to be in hell. Nobody wants to be in hell! Not only human beings, even devils.
So the deception is that when Satan gets a hold of somebody, he wants to destroy life. What does it mean to destroy life? To make your life miserable! But to kill, it’s only God who has the power to give life or to take life. Can people die before their time? …Yes! But that’s a whole different subject. But it’s deception! Satan doesn’t benefit by taking your life. He wants to use your life! God doesn’t benefit whether you’re alive or dead because God is God by himself… He doesn’t need anyone. Whether we worship Him or not, He’s still God. Whether we serve Him or not, He’s still God. He doesn’t need anything, He’s all sufficient. BUT for Satan, he needs vehicles, he needs people.
Somebody asked: So why is there a spirit of death following people?
You have to understand that death in essence is to cripple you not to have life. Death doesn’t mean to die. It’s torment that the devil is after. When I look at somebody and I say, “there’s a spirit of death,” that’s torment because this person cannot live their life. You see, everyone in hell is alive right now. But they are considered the dead because they have no life. They live to be tormented for eternity. They cannot visit anyone, they cannot call anyone, they cannot have company, they cannot enjoy these things. They’re alive but the bible calls them dead! Why? Because they have no life. There’s nothing going on except torment for eternity. But believers when they pass away, what does the bible say? They’re asleep! Why? Because there’s no torment for them. They await the resurrection of their bodies. So Jesus said, “we’re going to go and wake up our friend Lazarus. Notice, Jesus never said Lazarus has the spirit of death yet Lazarus was sick unto death.
Somebody misquoted scripture and asked, “why does it say, ‘Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy.’” No, no, no… It says, “THE THIEF comes but to steal, kill, and destroy… but I have come so they may have life and have life more abundantly.” This verse is not talking about the devil, it’s talking about false shepherds. People who are pretending to be servants of God. Their mission is to steal from you, to kill you, and to destroy you. But Jesus said, “I AM the good shepherd. I lay my life for my flock.” The church teaches that as if it is satan but that’s completely reading the verse wrong. If you read in context, you’ll understand that Jesus is talking about WOLF in sheep's clothing, not satan. Satan is called a liar, the dragon… those are his titles. The thief is talking about a man who comes into church, pretends to be a servant of God but is robbing you, stealing from you, and you’re not receiving life in abundance. That’s what it’s talking about. It’s not talking about satan.
Your biggest battle is not your financial situation. It’s not the sickness in your body. It’s not the relationships that are falling apart. It’s not those who have betrayed you. The goal of Satan is to make you mentally weak. Demons are after your mind. Because if the devil can get a hold of your mind, he will destroy you. He can control your life. He can lead your life where he wants it to go. This is what the devil is interested in. The devil is not interested in anything else than your mind. When the Lord Jesus was in the wilderness being tempted, He was being tempted in order to weaken His mind. “If you’re the Son of God, why are you hungry?” So that Jesus can say, “yeah, why is my Father letting me be hungry in the wilderness.” It was to break him mentally. “Why do you need to die for these people? I can just give you the whole world, just worship me here, nobody will ever know about it.” Satan was trying to get Jesus to quit. He was trying to break him mentally. “Well, if God really can protect you, jump off this building, let’s see if He’s going to rescue you!” In order to put FEAR into the Lord Jesus.
So what people don’t understand is, your greatest protection against Satan is to protect your mind. Your mind is the most sacred thing you can have. It’s the most important thing that you have possession over. Even us, ourselves, when we deal with psychology… you’re trained to program yourself for good habits. Why? Because if the mind is not checked, you’ll start to do things you don’t even want to do because the mind has been programmed to do those things. So you fear. You go through all these things because your mental health is not checked. You don’t position your mind to understand that spiritual things can affect your mind. So every believer must take your mental health very seriously. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Christians in the church have mental illnesses. Simply because you have hyper spiritualized yourself and you miss the point of how spiritual life is supposed to flow from the holy spirit, to your spirit, to your soul, and then to your body. If you claim to walk with the Lord but your mental state is not okay, you have to know that there is a problem.
Let’s look at the scriptures real quick:
2 Corinthians 10:4 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 5. 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.
Notice: You cannot bind strongholds because strongholds are located in the mind. Our weapons of warfare are mighty through God in the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every thought that exalts itself above the word of God.
Notice where the problem is… your fight is not, “oh oh… i pull down every stronghold in the mighty name Jesus…” It’s not going to happen! That’s why the bible is saying, “our weapons.” Meaning there are different weapons for different things. It’s not saying “our weapon.” WEAPONS. Meaning, how I deal with my mental deliverance is different than how I deal with a demonic deliverance in me. How I rebuke a demon out of me and how my mind can be delivered is different. It is not one remedy for all.
This is the problem with people who want to do deliverance so bad: they think everything is the same. “I want to break witchcraft! I want to break sorcery! I want to break generational curses! I want to do this, this way…” Then you use the same formula for everything. It will not work!!! It doesn’t work like that, it’s not the same thing. You have to understand that every single issue has a specific remedy that God has ordained for it. You can’t use one solution for it all. It doesn’t work like that, I’m so sorry to tell you. It does not work like that. “I plead the blood of Jesus in my mind.” No, you didn’t get rid of the stronghold. The first effect of a stronghold in the mind, is it starts to bring imaginations. You know, most of the things you battle with are just in your mind. “How is tomorrow going to turn out?” You’ve already imagined the worst. What is making you imagine the worst? That is a manifestation of a stronghold, the moment I can start thinking the worst about a situation I don’t even know.
God took care of me last year. God took care of me 10 years ago. Okay, today I’m going through struggles… you would think the things God did for me will build mental toughness where I understand that my present suffering will not compare to the glory that is to be revealed. When we say, “the Lord is my strength and my salvation,” we’re not talking about physical strength. We’re talking about mental strength. “The Lord is my strength, through anything I’m fine. If I die, I die. If I live, I live.” Are you getting what I’m saying? There’s something that’s happening in the mind. You don’t fix the mind by prayer. Prayer is one of the ways but it’s not the way you fix the mind. Haven’t you met people who pray that complain the most? Every second: “I’ve just been fighting devils… Things are just so hard… I just don’t know… but Father, I bless you!” No, you see, those two things don’t go together.
Prayer puts you beside God. It brings you before God. But your self image before God is up to you, not up to Him. This is what the Lord was saying to Jeremiah, “My ear is not dull to hear, my hand is not short to deliver. But your sin has separated you from me. Not me to you.” Because God is saying, “I can hear you, my hand is not short to deliver you but your sin has separated you from me.” God is saying, “I can reach you, I can hear you, but your sin is what is separating you from me. Not me to you.” Paul said it like this, “I am convinced that nothing can separate me from the love of God.” Paul was on the other side of what God was saying. When God was addressing the jews in the time of Jeremiah, He was talking to them because they were on the other side.
You see, how you think of yourself presents you before God.
You see, how you think of yourself presents you before God.
You see, how you think of yourself presents you before God.
If I think of myself like I’m just worthless and I go before God, He can’t make me of value because I have already believed what I’ve believed. Faith works both ways. It doesn’t only work when you think positive. You can be so affirmed in negativity. “I will never make it, I will never make it.” The moment you begin to see yourself never making it, that’s faith. It becomes substance.
So as a child of God, as one that’s called by God… you need to start observing and thinking: How is my mental state? Think about this: there’s a correct way to pray and the wrong way to pray. Right? The bible says, “you don’t receive because you pray amiss.” Meaning, there’s a wrong way to pray. Why do people pray the wrong way? It’s because your mental state is bad.
The Lord tells us, we don’t mourn like those who are in the world. When people die, we do cry but we don’t cry like those who are in the world who have no hope. Why don’t they have hope? Because if anybody is in the world and they perish, they go to hell. There’s no hope. And hope has to do with the future. Hope has nothing to do with uncertainty. Hope has certainty. “I know that one day we’ll see each other again. I know that one day I will make it.” That is true hope.
Fake hope is, “I think it’s going to work. Let me just be positive.” It means that it’s not solid. The hope that comes from the Holy Spirit is assured. It’s an assurance that things are going to be okay… certainly! Hope is certain. So the world has no certainty, no hope, because they are in the world… they don’t have the Lord. So if they go, they can’t make heaven. But for us who are in Christ, we cry because “I’m gonna to miss you. I’m not going to see you for some time. But I will not cry because I know one day, we will be reunited. In the new Jerusalem on Mount Zion, we will see each other again. Where there are no graveyards, where there are no funerals.” Our hope is certain.
So now, you need to ask yourself. Am I just praying with my lips? Or do I really take time before the King, before the Lord of glory… to make sure that my mental state is strong?
Every single person in the world: those who love God, those who don’t love God, those who have rejected God, those who have backslidden, those who are thinking of backsliding… doesn’t matter what the case is, every human being will face an evil day.
Ephesians 6:13 - Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand the evil day.
You see, everyone will experience an evil day. Jesus experienced it. Moses experienced it. Jeremiah experienced it. Daniel experienced it. His three friends experienced it. Elijah experienced it. Elisha experienced it. Apostle Paul experienced it. Peter experienced it. James experienced it. It goes on and on… John experienced it!
Do you know what is the first armor you need to put on? Helmet of Salvation. Your mind needs to be saved. Not just your body. Your body, yes… protected. But your mind needs to be saved. Salvation that you have received must also manifest in your mind. Somebody that has been liberated in the mind, somebody that has put on the helmet of salvation, it doesn’t matter what the devil does, their mental state is different. If Satan wants to attack your body, “you can kill my body but you cannot touch my soul or my spirit.” The devil tries you but you say, “to live is Christ but to die is gain.” Even Satan will not have nothing to attack you. Because people think that full armor means you will not be touched.
If you look at the olden days, they had different kinds of armor. You went into battle with a sword and you have an armor on and a helmet on. You went into a sword fight or arrow… if they shoot you with an arrow, it’s just like a bullet proof vest. Right? Just because you have a bulletproof vest, it doesn’t mean if you get shot it will not hurt. It hurts BAD. The bullet won’t go through but you’ll have bruises.
I remember when Chaz, we went shooting. And Dad gave me the shotgun. A few years ago, the first time with pops. And I was given a shotgun… man, I was red all over bad! Listen, the fact that you have armor doesn’t mean you will not feel it. You will, it just won’t kill you. If Goliath had his helmet on, he would've been seriously concussed. He would have not died but he was going to be concussed.
Everybody will have that moment that you’ll have to choose Christ or deny Christ to save yourself or to avoid problems. Everyone will. God’s protection does not begin by us being surrounded by angels. It begins by us fortifying ourselves in God. If you are not standing on the solid rock, God cannot start putting divine protection around you. Because if you only love God because you have an edge of protection, then God knows the day that edge of protection goes, you will not love Him. You will betray Him. Why? Because you never loved Him. You loved Him for the protection. This is what Satan used against Job. He said, “Lord, He loves you because you have protected him, and you have given him a lot. Take away that protection, take away the things that you gave him, let’s see if he still loves you. But Job was fortified in Christ.
Are you really on the rock? Every Christian will go through embarrassing moments. Every believer will go through these things, it’s part of the journey.
Daniel 3:16 - Shadrach Meshach and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Listen to this. It shows you where their mind is. Number one, they said, “King. If you throw us in the fire, our God is able to deliver us.” Notice, they are certain in their God. And they said, “even if He doesn’t come for us and you destroy our bodies, we are still with Him. But we want you to know something. We will never worship your god.” “What?” “We will never ever ever ever ever worship your god. We won’t do that. We will never worship your gods. We will not. We will never worship your gods. We can’t do that. We cannot worship your god. We know God can deliver us for sure.”
Think about the furnace burning. You see you’re about to be killed. And you’re saying, “oh by the way, God can save me from that.” There is no hope. Your only hope is: “let me just accept so that I don’t die and then I’ll go and repent.” That’s how we think: “You know what, I’m just going to do this one thing. And then you know, I’ll just tell God. God will understand, man. God will be cool. And then it’s going to be alright. God will understand.”
Yes, God will forgive you. But tomorrow satan will come again and then you will betray God again. What if you do that and then you die? Are you really on the rock?
2 Corinthians 10:4 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 5. 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.
The first thing is, you have to check the realm of your imagination. When you look at Genesis chapter 6, it talks about the mental state of people in the time of Noah. It says that God was angry with them because He saw that all their imagination of the heart was continually evil. God was so hurt because of the state and the condition that these people are in. God was so hurt. God destroyed everything to start afresh because of man’s imagination. If your imagination has become evil, satan will use you. He’s already using you. Because where your thoughts go, your body will follow. Where your thoughts go, your body will follow. Again, where your thoughts go, your body will definitely, for sure, for real, guaranteed, will, and must… follow! It’s just the way it is. It’s terrible but it’s true. It’s terrible terrible terrible but it’s true.
So now, as you think of all these things… begin to examine your thoughts. What imaginations come to me? Some people are struggling with lustful imaginations. Some people are dealing with jealousy in their imagination. Some people are dealing with envy in their imagination. Some people are even killing in their imagination. There’s a big time defect in that place. What is the content of your imagination?
If your imagination is already on the wrong track, your mind is already weak. Satan can get you. Because we don’t resist the devil physically, we resist him in the mind. *Thoughts* “YOU’RE GOING TO DIE!” … you start thinking about your funeral day, the day you’ll be buried…. your children, etc… you start panicking and all that: the devil already got you! *More thoughts* “YOU’RE NEVER GOING TO MAKE IT.” You’re just saying, “woe is me, look at my life, it’s always going to be like this…” Satan already got you. God wants you to cast down imagination.
Your voice will always pull down your imagination. That’s why you can interrupt a thought by speaking. The voice of evil thoughts can be interrupted simply by a voice. This is why when satan was talking to Jesus, he was not talking to Him physically, he was speaking to Him in the mind. But whenever Jesus responded, He responded with the word. “IT IS WRITTEN.” If you don’t read the word of God, you cannot cast down imagination. You need to SPEAK, “I have the mind of Christ. I think the thoughts of God.” You open up a scripture, “the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” Immediately that voice will silence. You don’t fix it by, “I bind, I rebuke.” No, it’s not going to work!
See how simple it is? Do you realize the word of God was never meant to be read mentally? It was always meant to be spoken audibly. Because the word of God is strong, it’s powerful, it’s sharper than a double edged sword.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Notice what it’s telling you. It’s telling you, the word of God is so deep. That it will bring a distinction between your soul and your spirit. It’s not talking about your physical joints. It’s talking about what is actually causing it to happen or go that direction. And it will tell you the intention and the thoughts of the mind. You may not even know why you’re thinking the way you’re thinking. When the word of God starts entering you, it starts bringing a distinction. You start knowing, “Huh… I used to think this is the right way to think. Now I know that’s not how I’m supposed to think. As a child of God, woah… my thoughts have gone far from God! My heart has gone far from God. Why was I even thinking like that?” You know we’ve all had those moments where we used to think that this is right this is wrong… and then you get to a place where you hear a sermon and you start realizing…. Dang! I really thought that was right! What the heck was wrong with me? Oh my God! You start correcting yourself. You start checking yourself. You start checking yourself, you start looking and you’re like… “aaahhh… man! Thank God for the word of God.” Why? Because Revelation opens your eyes. You see, many of you just listening to these messages, you’re already delivered. Because you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Not, “you shall know the truth, then you will ‘pray,’ then you will be free.” When the truth enters you, immediately you are free! Because the shackles satan could use cannot hold you anymore.
2 Corinthians 10:4 - For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 5. 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.
You see, knowledge is still mental. So you need to ask yourself, what knowledge do you have? See when Job’s family died, his properties were taken away, everything went bad… The reason why he never turned against God, is because He had knowledge concerning God. He said, “naked I came from my mothers womb, naked will I go back. So the first thing is that my children were never mine anyway. The things I have were God’s anyway. They were not mine.” Then the next thing he said is, “praise be the name of the Lord.” He went on his knees and worshiped.
Why did he do that? He knew that God is in control of it all. Even if He takes it, it’s His. “Yes, I love my children… It's painful. But they belong to him. I was just privileged to give birth to them. To conceive them. But they’re not mine, I don’t have ownership of them. I don’t own them.” His knowledge kept him because there was no protection from God.
Whenever God wants to lift you, he will allow you to be tempted. But not beyond what you can bear. And He will provide a way out. The way out provided is what he already gave you. And if you pass the test, you’re upgraded both spiritually and physically.
What is your mental condition?

Getting ready to fight your brother and sister is not mental toughness. Loudness, shouting, is not strength. If anything, it shows weakness. A calm and quiet spirit is true strength. That no matter what’s happening, there’s just calmness. Again I ask you, sincerely, truthfully, and calmly: What is your mental state?
It says this about the Lord Jesus: Let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. Being made in the image of God, He saw it not robbery to be equal with God. There’s a certain way Jesus’ thoughts worked. Even though he took the form of a servant, His God nature was not deemed because of the flesh. But the bible is telling you, “let this mind that was in Christ Jesus be in you!” It means Jesus adapted a certain mindset. That when faced the cross, he was fine. When he faced tribulation, he was fine. Do you have the mind of Christ? It’s not a declaration, it’s a way to form thinking.
What is in your life that is exalting itself above the word of God? Is it the doctor's report? Is it where your marriage is? Is it where your children are? Is it your financial condition? What is going on that is lifting itself above the word of God and what are you doing about it?
I know of men of God that killed themselves because they felt so much pressure. That should never be our portion. I know men and women of God that quit working for God because they were persecuted. That should never be our portion. I know people who turned away from God because some people represented Jesus the wrong way. Were you really saved? Did you give your life to Jesus because of your brother or your sister? Or did you give it because you know that salvation comes from Him and that He’s God? What are you doing about it? What are we doing about it, children of God. This is a serious, serious, thing. It’s not an easy thing.
One of the things my mother taught me is she gave me a way to build myself. And I thank God that through everything I’ve ever gone through life, God has kept my heart. I can’t take credit for it but God did get a hold of my heart and God did keep me. Cause we went through it, boy! Woooo… crazy! Crazy.
Before I give you what you can do to start building, I want you to truly examine yourself truthfully and genuinely. Stop hiding yourself behind false spirituality. Stop hiding yourself behind, “Oh, I’m a child of God.” No! Face these things head on. You can’t get healed if you’re hiding things. You can’t get God’s salvation in that way. You cannot, I’m sorry. You just can’t! God has called us not to run away from problems but to face them. If you cannot genuinely look at yourself and say, “Eh… truthfully, Lord… uhh… I am messing up in this area. You know what Lord, I’m definitely missing it in this area.” If you can’t do that, you’re in big trouble. You will always pretend and pretend and pretend but you’re dying inside.
You see, in third world countries, you find most believers being very strong. Not because they pray so much. They have gone through so many trials, they’ve realized that, “you know what, no matter what… God is still good. They’re able to survive it.” Just think about that. They’ve gone through so many tribulations that they are just like, “you know what… it is what it is.” They love God more! But you come to a place where people have had everything easy, if they go through troubles they fall apart.
I’ll tell you how to fix this thing in two seconds! It’s an exercise that you have to do sincerely, truthfully, with dedication. It will change your spiritual life completely. It will shift your walk with God completely. Many times as believers, we cater to our salvation but we don’t cater to the entire deliverance of our being. You don’t only get deliverance from demons. You should also be delivered from your old life. From your old thinking. Your old ways. The absence of a demon does not mean you’re still not bound. When a demon leaves you, he still leaves a culture with you. If you continue in it, you’re still bound. Let’s say a demon came into your life and he taught you how to steal. The demon left. Believe you, me: every time you need something so bad and you can’t get it, you will resort to what the devil taught you - how to steal. Then you’ll say, “you know, I’ll just steal this one time.” Because he taught you a way. And whatever you’re taught is still programmed in you.
Things that my mother taught me. This helped me greatly.
You see, the book of Proverbs is the book of wisdom. There are three books that I think you should visit a chapter from each book every day apart from your regular reading:
Proverbs, Psalms, and Ecclesiastes. These three are mental health and spirit strengtheners. Proverbs will teach you things like, “a quiet answer driveth away anger.” Learn to shhh! Psalms will teach you of lamentation… how to cry to God. How to present yourself before God. How to worship God. Some of the psalms will even teach you not to envy other people because, “when I envied them... This is what happened.” It’s people’s cries before God! Ecclesiastes is about the wisest man on the earth telling you, “listen man… this is how you need to live your life. I had it all, I had everything, I did everything… and life comes down to these three things. These three books will change your mind. A chapter a day of this will change your life. Just the consumption of God’s life will change you. But this one, your perspective will change.
Number two. If I was you, I would subscribe to my guided meditation, realms of meditation…
(https://linktr.ee/prophetlovy)
Another thing is this: You have to be able to imagine the worst thing you can go through and see God delivering you from it. You have to be able to sit down and imagine the worst situation you can be in and still see God delivering you.
Let me explain to you why the mind is very dangerous. The mind cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is fake. Because your soul doesn't live in the material world. And neither does it live in the spiritual world. It lives in between. So it cannot tell the difference, it can’t.
There’s an experiment they did with two teams playing basketball. They were all professionals. There was a group that was being made to meditate shooting their shot for one week. All they did was meditate, seeing themselves shooting the basketball. And the other team was made to practice shooting the basketball. When they went to actually have them do a shoot off, the ones who meditated were better than the ones doing it physically. Because physically you can be going through the motions but it takes a certain mental capacity for you to actually do it.
The aim is not in the body, it’s actually in the mental. If you want to know a good boxer, it’s not somebody who hits mitts. Everyone can look good on that. Let’s shadow box and imagine you’re in a fight. If you can do that with intent, you’re ready to fight. That’s why people watch films. Some of the greatest athletes, no matter what the sport is, always watch tape. Because if they can see it mentally, they will do it physically.
If you’ve never sat down and thought of the worst day and you can see Jesus saving you from that place, when that thing happens physically and you’ve never done it, you will crash.
But if you have already put yourself mentally in that place and you saw deliverance… when it comes physically, your mind will not panic. “We’ve been here before, we’re fine. We’ll make it through it. Remember God saved us.” Because your soul cannot tell the difference. It cannot tell the difference. This is how you also build up faith.
Father, I pray for your people. May these words enter our hearts. May we be changed forever. May we resemble your son Jesus in every way. Lord, we thank you that we are free not only from evil spirits but also from the bondages that the mind has received throughout life. We thank you oh Lord, that you are so good, you're so kind and you're so gracious unto us. May your name be lifted now and forever in the beautiful and powerful name of your only son Jesus Christ. Amen! Well, I love you all. May the Lord Jesus keep you and bless you! Bye, bye.
