The Devil and your Thoughts - Prophet Kobus

hi I am caboose van Rensburg join me now for captured in glory we gotta go right into the Word of God you gotta be blessed it's time for the church to come out of the closet and become visible you are the city you are sit on a hill you are the light of the moon [Music] but as I fifty-five let's start somewhere let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts and let him return to the Lord now the word returned they could mean repent that word repent could mean change your mind the word change your mind could mean get other thoughts so I want you to get the line of thoughts that we're gonna be thinking about tonight okay he says and he will have love p'tee mercy for him and to our God for you a multiplied to him he's a bun important for Bourdon for my thoughts are not your thoughts whose thoughts are not whose thoughts the Lord's thoughts and the unrighteous man thoughts are not the same thoughts so if an unrighteous man turned to the Lord in repentance he becomes righteous 2nd Corinthians 5:21 God made him in unison to become sin for us so that we can become the righteous of God so if I return to the Lord I receive righteousness once I receive righteousness I have forsaken my ways because repentance means change of mind it means get another line of thought so if I've changed my thought lines I'm gonna get the thoughts of God for the natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God for they're spiritually discerned but we have the mind of Christ okay so that was quoting from seven different scriptures you know where they stand okay for as the heavens are higher than the earth so my ways are higher than your ways my thoughts than your thoughts in other words God doesn't say it's higher it means it's of a different standards it's of a highest entities from above it's not from beneath it's of a different quality now it tried to explain the thoughts for as the rain and the snow comes down from the heavens and returned out there again but what to the earth and make it to bring forth and sprout that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater so shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth it shall not return to me void without producing any effect and users but it shall accomplish that which are pleasing purpose and it shall prosper in the thing for which I send it so I want to put a few things on the board tonight he says the unrighteous man the unrighteous must forsake his thoughts man this is gonna be good in a while must forsake his thought because God says his thoughts are not unrighteous okay so he must that word forsake he says he must return to the Lord let's turn to God that word return to God means repent repent means change your mind change your mind change your mind means get other thoughts it's all the same line of thinking in the word of Almighty God so God says you unrighteous people it's time to forsake your thoughts because we can't think the same return to God repent change your mind get other thoughts because the unrighteous man cannot think the way God thinks so get God thing so God says if I do this he says it's the Word of God the Word of God that will produce produce what the right thoughts okay so just think of maybe we should look at it Colossians 1:23 tonight Colossians 1:21 and you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works yet now happy reconciled I hope you can see and God must help us tonight so why does the word say repent why did John the Baptist say repent why did Jesus come and preach repentance why did Paul says you must repent repent means change your mind get other thoughts so where's your problem in your mind so that's your biggest devil not one of you sitting in the house this house has been attacked by the devil first off there is not one person sitting here that's been attacked by a devil it's not one person sitting here that's been attacked by a demon demons and devils work through flesh they don't attack you in the spirit realm people get all these weird ideas about spiritual warfare and demons in the heavenly places and we fight ourselves to pieces in the heavenly places and the only the Bible talks about in the higher places in high places that high places is your head that's the high place don't look at me funny the devil works through people that's why the Bible says we struggle not against flesh and blood but against the principalities in high places where's the high places the wicked minds he says you were wicked in your minds but now you were reconciled to God so let the unrighteous forsake his evil thoughts let the wicked man get away from thinking wrong it's your thoughts that activate demon powers in the air if you think right there will be no demon activities in your area if you think wrong they will be demon act demons are activated by the wicked thoughts of people so repent get your thought life strength first Peter 1 verse 30 says so gird up the loins of your mind be sober so Peter says gird up your mind that means that word good means make ready gird up your mind then he says how you must gird up your mind how do you get your mind ready for what Peter is trying to tell us be sober okay now the word sober means not under the influence thank you sober means don't be under the influence that East means to be sober now in the King James as well as the amplified I think there are about 910 in different scriptures where the word sober comes in but only three has got this connotation to not be under the influence the other word sober has been interpreted I don't know why they're the translators put us in there but it's the word body you know like way Paul says in 2nd Corinthians 5:13 when I'm beside myself you know it's for God's glory when I'm sober it is for your sake that word sober is when I'm in the body when I'm natural when I'm acting physical when I'm not really spiritual then it's for your benefit so sometimes I gotta act fleshly to help you that's what for so he doesn't mean under the influence it's got a total it's totally different in the Strong's Concordance it's 12 pages apart okay but this word says be sober that's how I'm going to go to my mind so to get my mind ready to receive from God I've got to not be under the influence under the influence of what so I've got to change my thought under the influence I gotta be out of the influence but I've got to be under the influence of the word okay so tonight I really let's go to Luke show yeah let's do Luke Tim now while they were on the way it occurred that Jesus entered a certain village and a woman named Martha received and welcomed him into her house and she had a sister named Mary who's seated herself at the Lord's feet and was listening to his teaching but Martha overly occupied and too busy was distracted now would you help me read those words what does the same amplified overly occupied too busy distracted comfort about okay now that word in the original language just means that one she was distracted what distracted her now the amplified says she was overly occupied way was she overly occupied with the dishes with the brooming of the floors if the Bible says she was overly occupied and too busy with much serving so couldn't she stopped running with the plates and the dishes and the cheesecakes and the ice creams and the chocolate mousse Eason you know was he running up and down serving or was she overly occupied with the serving was she too busy with the serving was she distracted with the serving okay just keep that in mind as we just proceed in our reading tonight beloved brothers and sisters and she came up to him and said Lord is it nothing to you that my sisters left me to serve alone tell her to come and help me now that word distracted is used in a few different scriptures that word is coded in Matthew our hope on right now more or less and also in Luke 8 when Jesus told the parable about a sower that was sowing some seed fell along the wayside some fell on stony ground some fell among the thorns and some fell on fruit fruit down then he told how those that fell you know there was not enough ground when the heat came and the others came and you know and he grew a little in the others came and then a third one he says amongst the phones now we did this already he said and then Jesus explained those among the thorns he says if those people let the receive the word now remember we started they received the word and then it grows but just before fruit bearing it grows and it looks exactly like the rest of the tree but just when it comes to fruit bearing because remember the next one bore fruit thirty sixty and a hundredfold don't forget it so the one between the thorns is the only one that came to fruit bearing the one along the wayside didn't get the birds of the air came and picked it up the other one you know the ground was very shallow and when the heat came it was just killed but the other one came to fruit bearing but just before it bore fruit the thorns choked it so he says it grew but just before fruit bearing the cares of this world the cares the Amplified Bible would say the worries the anxieties okay the anxieties the worries choked the word so the word didn't produce what's supposed to produce in my life the word what will prevent the word to produce in my life if I have got wrong thoughts so forsake your thoughts repent and get god's thoughts where do I get god's thoughts in the word so i mustn't be under the influence of my wrong thoughts I'm gonna try and we gonna go on I'm under the influence of my train of thoughts I come under the influence of thoughts the influence of thoughts is called cares the influence of taking an air out of the Greek concordance the influence of my thoughtless brings me to a place of distractions so I gonna put it according to the word I'm distracted when I allow my thoughts to run away from God's words and then those thoughts start over occupying me they start making my mind too busy and when my mind is too busy with distractions the Word of God is choked and I don't bear fruit so verse 41 but the Lord replied to her by saying Martha Martha you can put your name in the if you want to you are anxious and troubled about many things now are you ready okay so in Matthew 13 and 22 mark 4 and 9 when he says the case of this world chokes the word where he says in Philippians 4 be careful for nothing the same word but in everything let your request be made known unto God with praise application remember that story so that word cares is the word distraction in the Greek I want to put it down again so the Bible says Martha was distracted and then jesus said to her listen to this word now maybe I should cite for the scholars the Greek word therefore the cares and care for is the word marina which means distracted but it's got included in the fuller Greek dictionary that which includes punishment okay I just want to say you are distracted with something that includes punishment but then we get to verse 41 and it says you are careful about many things that word careful is not marina but Maryam nail it differs at the back and that's what Marino a neo buddy means now if you don't know what I'm gonna say now that means taking a thought Martha you are distracted by many thoughts your mind is troubled and over occupied by many thoughts Martha you have taken a thought of those many that tries to distract you you have taken some of them and it's the taking that has caused Mary to have the better part okay so they are thoughts coming your way daily trying to distract you all the time you don't have to take it Martha you are distracted but Martha let me tell you you have now taken one of those distracted thoughts now I want to tell you mary has chosen the better part so that is the word Cavs taking thoughts that distract you that is wicked that makes you a lien a tit from God's ways that makes the devil working in your life because the Frisians 4:23 says be renewed in the spirit of your mind give no place to the devil verse 27 so how do I give place to the devil with an underneath mine how do I give in place when I accept the distractions by making that thought take place in my mind and the minute the thought is dropped I have given place to the devil the minute I've given in place that is when things start going wrong in my life I become anxious I become over troubled I become worried instead of having peace instead of having the words so let's go tonight to Matthew 6 and then to Peter in closing Matthew chapter 6 I'm just gonna read this now remember as I have 55 and I remember Colossians 1:23 verse 25 of Matthew 6 therefore I say unto you take no thought you must understand what I'm trying to say take no thought for your life what you shall eat what you shall drink know yet for your body what you shall put on is not the life more than meat and the body than raiment behold the fowls of the air for they sow not neither do they reap nor gather into barns yet your heavenly Father feeds them are you not much better than they yes I am are you not better than a bird and a chicken and a turkey verse 27 I hope you can find the stretching of the words which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature I want you to understand that word taking thought means cares careful worries which of you by worrying which of you by being filled with cares which of you by being here so the word take the thought you can change it with cares which of you by being caring which of you by being care which of you by worrying which of you by being anxious verse 21 yet I say to you hmm Solomon and all his glory was not clothed like the lilies of verse 28 wave for if God so clothe the grass of the field which today's and tomorrow's cast into the oven shall he not much more clothe you or your little faith verse 31 therefore take no Thought saying what shall we eat now I we had a poster once and it was stuck all over the church and especially in the toilets and I quoted it from The Voice translation we say do not take a thought which will cause you to worry and then force you to say we only have church for an hour why do you want to now think of tomorrow I must go pee absurd that that chick ISA why must you worry only God now over here why don't you go and think about it when you come home then it's not wicked then it's not but now the word is being sown now you got to decide is it gonna fall on fruit forget as we gonna produce when you leave here you can think of whatever you want to think of the check you must sign F say you must buy it pick and pay you must go and do shopping and you know that cream for your wrinkles II was getting think of it when you Keaney the church the Gentiles seek these things but your father knows that you have need of them now I've explained this to somebody yesterday if you go look at this in the regional languages and you look at the different translations the Bible sees the heathen nations want this stuff they want food drink and clothes I don't know if you are spiritual not to receive the next sentence but your father knows that you need them now you didn't get it I'm gonna do it once more the bother the heathen people want this stuff but your father knows that you need this stuff ah yeah I want you to understand one thing here tonight so God says I don't care how much the heathen people have for them it's just what they want God says you know what my idea of prosperities you need to stuff me somebody once said you can't you can't help but if a bird flies over your head but you can really stop him from making a mess in your hair you can't help of thought strikes you but why do you want to take it verse 33 but seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness how do you seek righteousness did the unrighteous for psyches sauce ya do you seek righteousness change your thoughts you know you gotta take it it now let the unrighteous forsake his thoughts so if the unrighteous is forsake his thoughts he's so seek the kingdom of God and righteousness what was the whole story from verse we are from 25 to 34 what was every sentence take no thought take no thought take no thought take no thought what is he trying to tell us take the thought verse 34 isn't it funny take therefore no thought I mean really is trying to say something take therefore no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow I shall take thought for the own things so God says tomorrow's already worried about itself why should you worry about tomorrow tomorrow has already thought about tomorrow why do you wanna thought of it think of tomorrow is this worth preaching to anybody in the house first Peter chapter 5 now said a lot of things to just read the scripture humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God that he may exalt you now remember you got to get higher thoughts when you are exalted you are higher humble yourself so that God can exalt you give your higher self yeah we just keep it there I'm gonna preach it you now costing the whole of your care all your anxieties all your worries all your concerns once and for all on him let's read verse 8 be sober now you should have got this unit you should have now shouted and you should have now thrown coke comes to the front oh you haven't got cocktails but I mean orange peels are you oh but you should have done something you know even if you throw just threw your falsies out or so listen to this if you want to be exalted to a higher place in God you must cost your kids on him the thoughts that distract you be sober because your adversary your enemy the amplified would say be of a sober mind come on church because your devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour so he says be sober minded do not be under the influence of thoughts that will distract you by then making you wicked and unrighteous so that the word will not bear fruit so that you can't produce what you hear every Sunday so why would you go out weekend after week and say what an awesome message and never have the fruit of the message why would you keep on coming to church for 40 11 years huh kept tonight's work don't have you heard loss you must hear tonight's work you must get yesterday's tape why do we brag on the tapes we never bear fruit so the word is good but then thoughts come our way and we are distracted and the minute we are distracted we grab that thought the minute we grab that thought we start worrying about what we think in the Manistee start worrying we start getting anxious we start getting anxious and God says you can't even grow by being anxious the proof is you can't even grow your hair you lose it humble yourself by taking the distractions that will make thoughts to harbour in your heart there is not word thoughts get it out don't come under the influence the minute you come under the influence it will choke the word when the word is choked there will be no fruit and you will become just another mouthful why wasn't that just awesome thanks for tuning in and watching this program I want you to write me info at spirit world god or G dot Sarah I want to pray for you father I bless this personnel with joy peace happiness health and be blessed cheese the flux [Music]
