..."well I didn’t know or it wasn’t really all my fault!

Feelings are fickle and unreliable.  We stand firm on the Word regardless of the feelings of the emotions or body.The Word is not undone because it doesn’t feel completely true.  The Word is the highest authority that also governs how God himself operates.  He put himself in subjection to His Word.  The Word came from a perfect God.  The Word is absolute and perfect.  Everything that exists may come to an end.  The Word will always stand.  It is the foundation of the nature, character, and personality of God.  All of His promises are written in the Word for the sake of every human man.  So as the victorious believer we need to stir up the victory on the inside.

In the middle of the day when things don’t go my way, when they are going my way: stir it up.  When problems rear their ugly heads eliminate them in flame just by speaking Words in The Bible that address this or that; if you don’t know what to say go to a church and meet people at all levels of spiritual agility along with their Bibles!  Go out for an ice cream, go out to the neighbors that you trust, call your mom read a car magazine at the library or just go for a walk if you can get out do some stretching like my little calico cat deceased maybe in heaven RIP (Running In Pastures (Greener).  Go for it you can do many exploits for the kingdom of God!  We’ve got nothing to lose doing the work of God and bringing Glory to His Name! The result of exercising this is what every believer wants to but doesn’t know how to acquire the fleshly body or mind: Pure Willpower POWER over circumstances and ability in the face of every test and trial to overcome may be a thorn in the side to some others see it as an opportunity to surpass that which has been faced down by others looking to push the limits of their inhibitions even if the going gets tough and tougher.  Fire doesn’t wait for an invitation: it starts up and whoosh, there it goes!

Satan cannot separate you from victory but he can steer your attention toward the results of worry and victory so subtly and cleverly that the believer doesn’t even notice what is happening.  That is why we don’t need to be ashamed to approach God in prayer.  The Holy Ghost is there all around.    

A believer speaking about a circumstance can inadvertently keep the believer bound to the circumstance by hiding from the one who is approaching to help not to break.

The devil knows the existence of adverse circumstances is not the clincher or guarantee of the believer’s defeat.  He knows it and so should we.

It is the thoughts the devil attaches to the circumstances that if overly attended to keeps the mind of the believer locked in doubt and unbelief.

The Champion son and Joint-Heir of the Living God are kept in a state of bondage to the situations because he doesn’t realize what is happening by this.

The devil keeps the believer frozen and in a state of total vulnerability in reacting to whatever satan thinks he can try to get away with and the usual threats that steer us away from God’s love.  Satan does this illegally through the only tool he has: deception and secret binders that require every man to be tested and every chosen to be tried for it is the worthiness of approach before our dearest source of compassion favor for every kind merited and not outspoken, new lives for those that seem to never obey and are most attended to.

It is important that we cast cares of situations that try to pile up on our minds and emotions on the Lord.  Roll all those cares, worries, fears, and anxieties on the Lord.  The existence of problems and circumstances, especially when they are overwhelming, does not mean automatic defeat for the believer.  It only means this if the believer is deceived and gives in to the lies.

Thoughts and situations act like seeds of destruction that try to go straight into the believer’s heart.  The key here is heart because if the devil can get you to take these things personally, they will shape your mentalities about your right standing with God and make you believe you are defeated.  We as human beings tend to say and do what we accept as part of our inward belief about ourselves and about the world.  So the only way to get us to accept defeat is if we allow circumstances to tell us we are defeated.  If we reject the lies and hold fast to the truth about our authority as believers and we act in line with this way of thinking… it may look like it’s not doing anything but we will guarantee the victory in the midst of the test and trial even before it is apparent.

We must remember that the heart of a man is like a garden and we know that if there is a beautiful garden somewhere it means someone is constantly tending to it.  You cannot prevent the weed seeds from blowing in the wind and landing on the soil; you can keep them from taking root and overtaking the garden by digging them up.  The same is with a human heart.  We need to constantly monitor and check ourselves and determine what has landed in our heart and uproot it out if it is not based on the Word or on the Law of Love. 

According to the studies of human behavior, people tend to hold on to the mistakes of others more than they do their own mistakes.  There is a humanist-wide tendency to judge others as offenders and deserving of their own follies yet when we make a mistake the response tends to be: well I didn’t know or it wasn’t really all my fault. 

Humans have a tendency to forgive themselves easily but are much slower to forgive or overlook the actions of others.  This is proven in human relational behavioral studies in how we communicate.  People who relate the best to others tend to view others in this forgiving frame of mind.  People who have been married for a lifetime when asked about how they view their partner they tend to believe the best even if they are totally wrong.  Even if each person is completely wrong legality the key here is unassuming with a tendency towards grace even if it is not fitting for either person’s behavior.  This goes in line with what the Bible talks about seeing the Brethren after the Spirit.  When we see others in the light of this understanding we also create an unspoken expectation in the relationship for them to measure up to these greater expectations; we produce more meaningful relationships and bring the best out in ourselves and others.
