Fathering The Mind With Scriptures & Imagination Part 1

Fathering The Mind With Scriptures & Imagination Part 1

For the past two days, my little boy had thoughts from the enemy that kept lingering in his mind. I wonder if circuit-breaker played a part in the life of this little one who loves to socialise and meet people.

He could not repel the fears that were caused by those thoughts. So I got him to read out the Scriptures that I had poured out into him every night. He was initially asking for a quick fix ---- "Papa, can you just pray for me for these thoughts to go away?"

This is how most inner healing ministries practises ---- prayer and ministering to past memories/traumas. And I have seen/heard so many who thought they were set free during inner healing ministry sessions, but because not many really followed up on them, testimonies were often shared as though the people were set free, when in fact, they were only encountering a moment of sensuality and emotions.

There is no way to be truly free unless it is truth believed in the heart.

And you shall know the truth i̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶a̶s̶t̶, and m̶i̶n̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶p̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:32

Prayer can set you free, but only truth keeps you free.

I turned to J and said, "Yes, I can pray. But these thoughts will come back again unless you have truths in your heart."

So I got him to recite out the verses he already knew and memorised. He kept speaking them out while crying... I said, "Do not stop and keep going."

Confession has no power. It is not confession that delivers you. It is truth that delivers you. But confession helps you to engage with the truths, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. If you don't believe, speak until you believe. 

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have n̶o̶t̶  passed away u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶s̶e̶a̶r̶c̶h̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶m̶i̶n̶i̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶i̶t̶.̶; behold, all things have become new. - 2 Cor 5:17 (Today's Special Inner Healing Translation)
