OH LORD, CAST DOWN THIS IMAGINATIONS

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 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; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Do ye look on things after the outward appearance?” 2 Corinthians 10:3-7a. If you have been looking at things or thinking of things after their outward appearances, then you will have to rethink and look at them differently from now on. There are spiritual forces at play at various levels of human living and the devil is daily seeking ways to encroach into the lives of believing and faithful children of God.

The scripture is quite clear about the various forms of afflictions that the righteous are forced to endure in the land of the living, and many if not all, had been going through this for the better part of their lives. May I declare to you that those afflictions will not win over you but your God will win over them and will give you the victory He had secured on your behalf. The righteous are being hunted down every day and everywhere to be made of nothing even in their secured professional careers and even in their menial job placements; they are followed to be destroyed even in their homes, marriages, family, private businesses and neighborhood; they are persecuted and humiliated daily for no reason; they are forced to bear the brunch of offences that carries no punishment and which they never committed; they are always the official subject of ridicules in the gathering of the ungodly; they are subjected to severe injustices in judgements; their voices are always suppressed instead of being heard; they are forced to be silent and mute when they are supposed to speak the truth in every occasion; they are judged guilty and sentenced without trial or given a fair hearing, and they live in fear of being embarrassed, harassed or humiliated. But despite all these satanic cages around them, the Almighty God is always making ways for their deliverance and safety; He is always defending them with His grace and justification for the next upper level; He is always showing them His immense and pure love, and He is always showing them tremendous mercies every day even in the most difficult situations in life.

There are various kinds of battles that the righteous are facing in their lives despite their desires and valued commitment in following the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior; despite their resolve to always remain faithful to His words; to walk in obedient to all of His commands and to have a lively fellowship with Him. There are various diabolical, devilish, cruel, fiendish, heinous, vile, hellish, vicious, wicked, demoniac, evil and satanic battles that the righteous are experiencing every day and every time and in every place; these live battles are making them look irrational, confused, uncoordinated, unsettled and sometimes less productive as they should be. God did not make them that way in the first place, and He did not save their souls to remain that way. He has a very good purpose, a very beautiful desire and a well laid out plans for every one of His child.  

Because of these daily battles, the devil had made many Christians to have a bad imagination of themselves in many ways, but this bad imaginations must be cast down from their hearts by the power of the living God; cast down from their daily words concerning their lives and progress; cast down from their visions concerning their future and cast down from wherever they may be in them for the sake of the word of God to be fully implemented in their lives. Many had been so traumatized by this evil imagination that they have concluded themselves to be failures and victim that can never be redeemed. Some have come to the concluded that they will never be able to find a suitor again in life; they will never employed in a lucrative place again, they will never overcome the barriers in the offices, homes, and marriages; that they will have children again or see their children turn around for good; this imagination must be cast down today in Jesus Name. Amen. For prayers Click here
