The Carnal Nature results in Spiritual Death!

 The bible states: 

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Romans 8:6‭-‬7 KJV 

The enemy projects carnal thoughts to our minds and sends carnally minded people into our lives as a strategy to get us distracted and away from the things of God. 

The key word here is "mind". Your mind is a part of your soul. The soul is the seat of the mind, will and emotions. This is an area the enemy targets heavily because we are influence by our senses...particularly, sight, sound and touch. These areas are considered gates to our soul. That's why the bible instructs us to crucify the carnal nature (The Flesh). 

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.

Galatians 5:16‭-‬17 NIV 

Satan is well aware of the laws of God. To get our minds on carnal things can result in spiritual death. Spiritual death can affect the anointing upon our lives which destroys the yoke in the lives of others such as our family and friends...Isaiah 10:27. Not to mentioned, the possibility of backsliding into sin which now opens the door for demonic bondages and strongholds. 

Also be reminded of Mark 4:19-21, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 

The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy...John 10:10. He goes about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour...1 Peter 5:5. Be not ignorant of his devices...2 Cor 2:11. 

Put the flesh to death daily by reading the word of God, being consistent in prayer and living a sin free life of obedience. 

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; And in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season; His leaf also shall not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 1:1‭-‬3 KJV

Are you sure you're being lead by the Spirit of God, or are you being deceived by a spirit of Self?

 Are You Sure? ============ Have you ever had that feeling that something just isn't right with someone, something, or someplace? However, there is absolutely no physical evidence to prove or even identify what you're sensing deep within your Spirit.  Have you or are you currently sensing that someone is not being altogether truthful with you, or is there something about a particular person making you extremely uncomfortable that has not been revealed yet? However, outside of your feeling, there is absolutely nothing to support your sense of discernment. One of the delicate parts of walking in the Spirit as Believers of Jesus Christ. We learn to disengage our five senses and allow the Spirit of God, His Holy Spirit, to reveal to us via our Spirit what the enemy is hiding or concocting to secure failure and destruction for us. Satan's primary method of operation is to manipulate his victims via deception. Those who fail to build and strengthen their relationship with God are...

Major Doors of Ignorance!

 Major doors the enemy uses to ensnare: Ignorance Sex Food Ungodly soul ties True story: A single woman who served the Lord for years met a young Christian man from another country through social media. They became friends, even prayed together and had bible study. They eventually found themselves being more than just friends.  The woman began to have negative dreams about the young man. Not knowing the meaning of what the Lord was revealing, she prayed for him and continued the relationship.  Two months into the relationship, she found herself having virtual sex with this man. The spirit of masturbation had an open door and now she found herself in need of deliverance. Even though she never met this man in person, the soul tie gave that spirit legal access to her. The dreams served as a warning and her ignorance gave the enemy the leverage he needed to bring bondage to that area of her life. Even though the young man was active in his church, he was still bound by the sp...

The Spirit of Divination!

 Make no mistake, the spirit of divination is still in operation today...Acts 16:16 Study to show thy self approved...2 Tim 2:15 It's a power that does not want you to be close to the Lord.  It squeezes out prayer, worship, the study of God's Word and the understanding of God's Word from the mind. It's a constricting spirit that wants to squeeze out the life of God in your life.  It's hides in organizied religion and focuses on the outer appearance and sets rules (bondage) to live by in order to receive from God...which really is working for salvation or holiness when we are under grace and our righteousness is of the Lord. We have no righteousness of our own. You can't work to be righteous or holy.  This spirit inhibits worship, prayer and the reading of the word. When these things are happening the spirit of divination is in operation.  Its has somehow gained access to your life.  It has false visions and dreams and focus on the outward and not the inward...
