A woman in our church group stored up things against me in her own heart. She did this over a period of years. And finally she let herself go and struck against me. By this, the devil destroyed her. And there was nothing I could do to bring her back.
It is so easy to deal with destructive thoughts and keep ourselves through God.
Devils will try to get you to be offended with other people. But if you will begin to deliberately think on all the good things that person has done toward you, the devil will flee from you!
This same woman who struck at me once said to me, "You are the most godly woman I've ever known."
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER?
Devils bring thoughts to our minds. If we take in those thoughts we will ruin ourselves. She failed, through the years, to take thoughts to God to allow God to establish the truth. She just lived by the thoughts brought by devils and agreed with him.
We must beware and not do this.
John 10:10 Jesus said: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I (The Word) am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
