Does the Devil Agree with YOU?

Why is it so easy for us to grab on to the negative? Look at the daily newspaper. They have learned that negative sells. The same goes for radio, TV, Internet and magazines. But the negative we are fed daily doesn’t just come from the media. We have an adversary who feeds us a steady diet of negative. The scripture refers to him as the “accuser of the brethren”. Why do you think negativity and accusation are two of the main strategies utilized by the devil? Because he knows that if we ever get in mental agreement with God and what He says about our lives, we will no longer be subject to his power. If we are going to be changed into the likeness of God, it will start with our thinking. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh” What ever comes out of our mouth will determine are destiny. Like James said, the tongue is the rudder of our life.

My Dad used to say, “If we are going to go around saying ”I’m a failure, I am poor, I am weak, I am miserable, I am sick, I am discouraged, I will never be a success, I will never lose weight, I will never do anything great for God, I don’t have the talent or money…” The Devil will come and sit on your shoulder and put his feet in your front pocket and whisper in your ear “You are correct, that is right you never will amount to anything, that is true you are a failure…” Because, that is EXACTLY what the Devil wants you to think! If you believe and repeat the Devil's lies, then he has done his job and you WILL be completely ineffective. He does not have to trick you into committing some big moral sin to do his job, He just has to convince you to believe HIM rather that GOD! So as long as we are agreeing with the Devil, He will agree with us. Ask yourself TODAY, does the Devil agree with Me? If you are repeating those negative confessions, just know you are repeating lies that originated from the pit of HELL.

This is not some mental game. This is life and death. Who are we going to believe?!!! Starting TODAY, Let’s get out the Bible and find out who we are in Christ and everyday we need to speak those things into our lives. It may be a battle, it may be a war, but it will be worth it. We must be “transformed by the renewing of our mind”. Confessing the Word will transform our minds to be in agreement with God. Our lives will be changed by speaking faith no matter how we feel.

I am well able
I am anointed
I am blessed
I am the Victor and not a victim
I am an overcomer
I can do all things through Christ
I am empowered by the Holy Ghost
I am in the Palm of God’s hand
My Future is bright
My every need is being supplied
I have enough to be a blessing to someone else
God Loves Me
God has a unique plan for my life
God can use my journey up to this point to help someone else

It may feel awkward at first because we are not used to talking this way. The enemy will tell you "Who do you think you are?" Remember, we are not tooting our own horn, we are simply acknowledging who the Word says we are and what the Word says we have.
