Just Say No To Negativity

The devil tries to attack without being seen, so he hides himself in your mind. Joyce teaches you how to fight back.

God’s Messages 💌

Today…….I am asking all my prayer warriors to say a prayer that may help others. So many people are hurting right now. Many are struggling with finances and need jobs. Some are facing foreclosure and don’t even know how they are going to make it from week to week..

Many are lonely. . Many are heartbroken. . Many are facing sickness and health is fading. . Some are dealing with difficult family members. Many have lost HOPE.. Tonight, let us put our prayers and faith together decree and declare breakthrough over our families. Financial miracles WILL take place. Jobs WILL be found. Our Bodies WILL be made whole & sickness WILL flee. Marriages and relationships WILL be restored. Family members WILL find Jesus. Heartbreaks WILL be healed. JOY WILL be restored and HOPE WILL be found. In Jesus Name. Amen!!!!!! Keep God First…….

I’ll be honest with you. I think that we owe it to Jesus to have the best life that we can possibly have.
How many of you want your Children to have good lives?
Well, I mean, we know nothing about parenting compared to what he does.
So if we, you know, like I like to surprise my kids and I was thinking the other day, God loves to surprise us.
I mean, he Jesus died so we can have an intimate relationship with the father, not so we could all have some kind of our own little brand of religion and separating all these little groups and fight with each other.
That’s just the silliest thing. And I love our conferences and other conferences like this because we have people here from every denomination that you could imagine.
And I can tell you when we get to heaven, there’s not gonna be a Baptist group and a Catholic group and a Lutheran group and the weird Pentecostals are not gonna be over here in another group.
Amen. And so we need to learn what’s important and the thing that’s important is to learn to love the Lord, your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and all your strength.
You cannot have an obedient life without having an obedient thought life.
So, I, I’m gonna say that again.
You, you’re not gonna have an obedient life without first having an obedient thought life.
And I mean, I was a Christian for many, many, many years and loved God and couldn’t figure out why I just kept having so many problems and I, I didn’t understand this stuff about the mind.
I just thought that I couldn’t help what I thought.
Well, I can’t help but I think, and I didn’t have any idea that I could cast down wrong thoughts or I could shut my mind against thoughts that I didn’t have to just receive everything that fell into my head and just take it as my own and roll it over and over and over in my mind.
You know, I share that my dad abused me when I was young and, you know, still after all these years, sometimes just out of nowhere, I’ll find myself thinking about some of the things that he did to me.
And, you know, the minute that I become aware of what I’m thinking, I, I just say no and I shut my mind to it and don’t let it in there, see, the enemy will sneak up on you and try to put stuff in your mind hoping that you’ll take it as yours and if we think about the wrong thing, it’s gonna affect our moods, it’s gonna affect our behavior.
It’s gonna affect our relationships with other people as the man thinks. So. Does he become Proverbs 23 7?
And no matter how many times you may or may not have heard teaching on the mind, this is something that we need to hear over and over and over and over and over between our thoughts and our words.
Those are two messages that we will never get tired of hearing.
You can choose your own thoughts.
You don’t have to just think whatever falls in your head.
I used to wake up in the morning and I would think, oh, I’m depressed so I would just get up and be depressed all day.
Well, now, if a thought like that comes to my head, I I will probably say out loud, I am not depressed and I’m not gonna spend this day being depressed because the joy of the Lord is my strength.
Now we have the word of God so we can fight the enemy with the word of God.
The word of God is not just a bunch of little black ink or white pages.
It is full of power and it is your weapon against Satan.
Let him who has my words speak my word faithfully.
I liked it last night when John mcfadden was up here and, and he talked about his childhood and all the pain he went through and then he talked about how he got hold of the battlefield of the mind and how he started renewing his mind with the word.
And he pulled this little book out of his back pocket. Got it right there with you again. Right.
It’s called, it’s called uh uh Yeah, thank you. Secret power speaking God’s word out loud.
I did write it by the way and uh it’s called, uh and it’s little enough.
I mean, he carries it in his backpack in his back pocket and it just, it thrills me that a man will carry that around in his back pocket.
You know why he carries it because Satan will attack his mind and he’ll begin to hear those old messages that he got from his parents.
You’re nothing but trash, the people that you think love, you are gonna leave you, they’re gonna find out what you really are.
Well, he knows now when that happens, he knows how to fight and I wanna help you remember tonight, how to fight.
And that is, he pulls that out and he opens it up to God loves him or who he is in Christ.
And he confesses those scriptures out loud and the devil has to go away.
I love it.
And I don’t know if we’ve got any of the little purple books left.
But if we do, you need to go out and get them and if we’re out of them, you can order it online.
So second Corinthians 10, 4 and five for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, they’re not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and the destruction of strongholds.
Now a stronghold is a place where the enemy digs in and hides himself so he can attack without being seen.
Well, this is talking about mental strongholds because verse five says in as much as we refute arguments and theories and reasonings, all processes of the mind that set itself up against the true knowledge of God.
And we lead every what, every what every thought and purpose away captive unto the obedience of Christ, the Messiah.
It is so plain. He’s saying, listen, we have mental strongholds in our minds places where the enemy has lied to us and deceived us over a long period of time and he hides himself in there.
And then he begins to say things to you never at a convenient time.
He begins to say things to you that if you just take them as yours and you begin to believe them, it will derail the plan of God for your life and keep you from your destiny.
His favorite thing is to tell you how no good you are and how all you do is make mistakes and how your life is over and you’re never going to get over your past and nobody cares about you.
And you’re not going to get the job and you’re not going to get the raise and you’ll never have a new car.
Everything with the devil is ever and never, it’s never going to change and it’s always going to be that way.
But with God, everything can change when you put your faith in Him.
So the weapons that we have are first and foremost, the word of God, the name of Jesus and the blood of Jesus Christ.
There’s power in all of those, the word, the name, the blood.
I think sometimes when you’re under mental attack, you just open your mouth and say Jesus, Jesus, there’s power in that name.
