Your mindset determines the journey of your life...

In other words, your mind is set to function according to the thoughts and ideas that you program into it...

I wonder what kind of mindset did the shooter have, a 24 year-old who today murdered scores of children and a few adults at a school in Connecticut, motivation in causing the nightmare that ensued...

Clearly his mind was not in the right place...

Analysts will have a field day studying the day's events...

As Christians, we understand that we are free in Christ, liberated and anointed by the Holy Spirit, favored by God...

But we are not out of the woods...

The forces of the Evil One constantly lurk around and seek the weak in mind, the unprepared...the uninformed...

Once Satan has found someone like that, he will then nurture that person with the potential to destroy others through thought, word, and deed...

Today, in Connecticut, the destruction was far more sinister and cruel...it caused mass murder...

And all because of a weak mindset in a single person!

With heartfelt sincerity, I pray that the Lord give the victims' families comfort and steadfastness in this dark hour...

The victims were undeserving of this tragedy...

Yet the forces of Evil, Satan, are feverishly trying to cut us off from God, and will employ all kinds of tactics to achieve his end...

 (See how Satan does it, secretly and undetected...)

Unless you discover the clandestine weapons Satan uses to keep you away from God, you will always be a victim...

Anointing will not come...
Blessings will be lacking...
Favor will not come...
Any prosperity will be inadequate...

Normal human convention cannot work on its own unscathed...

There is always a variable of the mysterious that lurks within humanity...the spiritual...

Unless you sincerely realize that there is a spiritual dimension that is entwined with the physical, you will find that any increase in one's fortunes are ridden with complications and inadequacies that will always keep you unbalanced, always lacking...

This lack brings about the void I discussed in a previous post...

This is the kind of thing that Satan looks for: to punch open voids within our hearts, and fill them with a mindset of sorrow, all kinds of negative emotions, thinking that leads to outward destruction in thought, word, and deed...

The world is definitely Satan's playground...and we are his playthings, creating in each and every one of us the potential of a wrong mindset that can keep us from tuning-into God...

Imagine, every situation, large or small can disconnect you from God...miniscule situations, minor annoyances that can become major building-blocks toward serious disturbances in your life...

These disturbances are designed to distract your spiritual contact with God, diverting your 'spiritual-signal' away from God and into 'dead spiritual space.'

And it isn't just the material things in life that can disconnect you from God...like money, cars, fame, power, etc.

Your mindset, which is comprised of your beliefs, your opinions, your convictions...these unseen qualities in you...can affect your behavior in ways that can veer you off-course from God.

The information stored in your mind can set the stage to your disconnection from God...and it can start from the moment you were born, by simply storing knowledge that tunes-out instead of tuning-in to God....

It's almost a viral thing, and sometimes seemingly natural that you'd be more concerned about earthly matters rather than spiritual ones...and you can't help but pursue the challenge of the physical...

After all, you are someone who must:

  • pay bills
  • raise kids
  • maintain a healthy marriage
  • pursue a career
  • pay your taxes
  • confront all challenges in your life
  • tackle personal inadequacies (fear, insecurity, inferiority complex...etc)

Now Satan knows human nature all too well...and how easy it is to steer a human being off-course from his relationship with God...

As long as you are not mindful of God and what He desires from you...plus by depriving you the belief that your faith can create miracles in  your life by simply being in-touch with God spiritually, then Satan can have his way with you...

In other words he can keep you away from staying in-touch with God...

So your life-journey can be one that has a connection to God and therefore becoming a recipient of all the help God has to offer...

Or follow a pattern that steers you away from God and into a spiritual void that Satan can easily refill with more diversions along the way...
