Exorcist shares the secret to avoiding negative thoughts about people

[Music] hey Chris here from the christophanic show where we talk about how to live out God's plan for you each and every day in your everyday life in a way that makes you more alive and more joyful check it out yeah and I I think that's actually really true in fact I you know a lot of times with the couples I first one of the first things I have to educate them is on how spiritual warfare attacks marriage and I said the first thing you have to realize is quit taking stuff personally between each other the battle between the two of you is not between the two of you it's between you and this demon that's afflicting your marriage dang powerful keep in mind yeah uh the the the one big solution to negativity focus on God pray focus on God yeah prayer which is ultimately focusing someone might hear that and think I'm going to focus on God by focusing on Church news or praying for the things wrong with the church be more specific um well It ultimately means that even in your meditation or in the things that your prayers that you're doing your goal is if you're going to pray for these things it's to bring other people to God It ultimately has to all revolve around God and if you that's why I said people have lost their focus maintain your focus which is ultimately God just you focus on him everything else will take care of itself so if you're spiraling out of control in the news pick up pick up the gospels yeah exactly just start reading the Gospel Matthew Mark Luke and John the stuff before might be a little confusing to you the stuff after might it might be a little confusing the gospels there's a Simplicity there is yeah put the right stuff in your head uh and gratitude gratitude give thanks in all circumstances this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus one Thessalonians five right there's a there's a power to this thanks for Illuminating all this I mean this takes on a different weight when you situate it in the context of spiritual battle that's right and you bring that the the gravitas to the conversation to illuminate that to people this is serious business do not let your mind spiral into negativity about your marriage your parents yeah the church the world the news be aware of problems and then Focus back on the Lord with a spirit of gratitude and just contemplate the right stuff do we have one more minute absolutely one more minute okay so this is very interesting what we do is we tell people to do this is and we actually practice this within our community which is if you get a negative thought about somebody else YouTube automatically assume it's false oh that's good so when you're but that that's so when you're a bit when you are engaging in spiritual warfare you can always bet that the demons are going to put a false impression on you about somebody in in relationship so like for example I'll I'll think to myself uh the demons will put my head someone's father so and so didn't do actually get home and find out he did exactly that and then some right so it's they're they're specifically and it's the same thing in marriage you the first thing you have to do is just presume all negative uh judgments about your spouse are false or not accurate wow and that's one of those but a lot of that is backed again to focus on God you start with the disposition of Mercy that's right and then if problems arise when you have that right mind space right then you could deal with them exactly yeah man wasn't that great I get so much out of these conversations I know you will too be sure to hit subscribe and share the show with everybody you know we'll see in the next video [Music]
