The devil has emotionally and mentally emasculated the minds of believers and placed them in a prison of illusion and beguiled them into thinking that they will never be free; better yet…they are not redeemed! He keeps us busy for at least twenty one days to develop a defeated mentality (Daniel 10). When in actuality, contrary to popular belief, depression, materialism, wickedness, treachery, lasciviousness, lust, blasphemy, pride, etc.; is not what people are bound by; these are only the manifestations, instruments, and/or tools of the true bondage and that is the mind. The Bible says in Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” The devil knows, that the way a person thinks is how that person will act. If he can convince a person to believe something untrue then he can cause them to fall and defeat them in this spiritual war.
Question 1: What do you believe?
Question 2: Is what you believe an illusion or is it the real thing?
