The Spirit of Confusion Must Go In Jesus Name!

A MORNING PRAYER AGAINST CONFUSION

Heavenly Father, I come to you this morning in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, on behalf of every person struggling with confusion. Some have faced this difficulty for a while. They feel overwhelmed by decisions, troubled by conflicting advice, and uncertain about their next step. Father, meet them in their distress and help them bring their concerns before you.

Your Word declares in 1 Corinthians 14:33, “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” Lord, as Paul instructed the church concerning order and peace, help us honor these same qualities in our thoughts, conversations, relationships, and decisions. Where disorder has disrupted our lives, give us wisdom to recognize its causes and respond according to your Word.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I stand against every spiritual influence seeking to promote confusion, deception, and division. Father, expose every lie opposing your truth. Strengthen those who feel worn down, and help them resist whatever draws their attention away from your instructions.

Lord, James 3:16 teaches us, “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” Search our hearts this morning. Where envy, selfish ambition, resentment, or strife has taken root, bring us to repentance. Help us recognize when our attitudes contribute to the disorder we ask you to remove.

Father, forgive us for comparing our lives with others, entertaining jealousy, and continuing arguments which produce division. Give us the humility to receive correction and the discipline to change our conduct. We surrender these attitudes to you and ask you to remove their influence from our decisions.

Your Word describes the wisdom from above as pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, and full of mercy and good fruits in James 3:17. Let this wisdom govern our responses. Teach us to listen carefully, speak truthfully, and pursue peace without compromising what is right.

Father, I ask for your protection over every reader and everyone joining this prayer. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, we approach you with confidence in His finished work. Help us put on the whole armor of God described in Ephesians 6:10–18. Establish us in truth, righteousness, faith, and the assurance of salvation. Prepare us to pursue peace and remain faithful in prayer.

For the person who does not know where to go, whom to speak with, or what to do next, provide direction. Help them identify the decision immediately before them without becoming overwhelmed by every possible outcome. Lead them toward trustworthy counsel and give them patience to examine advice before acting.

Lord, where deception has influenced their thinking, establish truth. Where fear has delayed necessary action, give courage. Where exhaustion has affected their concentration, provide rest and support. Help them recognize what needs prayer, what needs correction, and what needs practical attention.

We resist the spirit of confusion in the name of Jesus Christ. Every influence seeking to draw us into deception, envy, strife, or disobedience must give way to the authority of our Lord. Father, keep us grounded in your Word as we submit ourselves to you and resist the devil, according to James 4:7.

Fill our minds with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Renew our hope and restore our willingness to fulfill our responsibilities. Holy Spirit, guide us into truth and help us recognize thoughts and advice that conflict with Scripture.

Your Word invites us to ask for wisdom in James 1:5. We ask this morning with humility. We do not know everything, and our understanding is limited. Teach us what we need to know and help us apply the instruction we already have.

Father, guard our minds from continual worry. Philippians 4:6–7 directs us to bring our requests before you with thanksgiving and speaks of your peace guarding our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Help us practice this instruction. As concerns arise, teach us to pray about them, give thanks for your faithfulness, and attend to the responsibilities within our reach.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, amen.

My friends, confusion deserves a careful response. When your thoughts feel unsettled, you might feel pressure to decide immediately just to escape the discomfort. Slow down long enough to examine what you are facing. Ask yourself what you know, what you still need to understand, and whether fear or conflicting advice is influencing your judgment.

Scripture identifies envy and strife as sources of disorder, but this does not mean every experience of uncertainty proves the presence of an oppressive spirit. Fatigue, grief, stress, and incomplete information also affect concentration and decision-making. Examine your circumstances honestly while continuing to seek God.

God has given us His Word to instruct, correct, and strengthen us. Ephesians 6:17 describes the Word of God as the Spirit's sword. Use Scripture with understanding. Read the passage, consider its meaning, and allow its truth to govern your response.

If envy has disturbed your peace, repent and stop feeding comparison. If strife has consumed your attention, examine your part in the conflict and pursue a truthful, peaceful response. If you lack information, ask questions. If you are exhausted, attend to your need for rest. Spiritual discipline includes responding wisely to the circumstances before you.

When uncertainty returns, bring your thoughts back to what Scripture teaches. Pray, “Father, you invite me to ask for wisdom. Help me understand this situation and respond in obedience to you.” Then take the next responsible step. You do not need every answer before obeying an instruction you already understand.

Agreeing with God’s Word involves both your confession and your conduct. Let your prayers lead you toward repentance, sound judgment, and faithful action. Continue seeking the Lord, receive wise counsel, and give yourself time to understand what requires careful consideration.

IF THIS PRAYER SPEAKS TO YOUR SITUATION, JOIN ME IN SEEKING GOD’S WISDOM THIS MORNING.

Father, establish your truth in our minds and your peace in our hearts. Help us reject deception, turn away from strife, and follow your instructions. Direct our decisions as we place our trust in you, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

We Must Recalibrate Our Spiritual lens Of Revelation

Revelation involves revealing, exposing, or uncovering something that is already present! For instance, if you misplace your keys at home and later find them in your bedroom, they didn't suddenly materialize; instead, you revealed them during your thorough search.

 

The scripture says, "The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law" (Deut. 29:29). Based on this scripture, some secrets or mysteries are reserved solely for God, such as the origins of God, etc.

 

Nevertheless, this scripture also indicates that God has reserved certain revelations for us and our children. This is where the passage becomes particularly interesting. The scripture clearly states that the purpose of these revelations is to empower us to FULFILL ALL THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LAW!

 

No matter your current circumstances, you might feel stagnant and lack progress. Consider seeking God's guidance to uncover the hidden truth relevant to your situation. This will allow you to apply His specific principles to address your concerns.

 

Father, expose and peel back the curtains, allowing me to see spiritually what I was previously ignorant of physically. Father, just as Elisha prayed for his servant, asking you to open his spiritual eyes, I ask you to open our spiritual eyes and give us the revelation needed to apply your law and release us from the spiritual cages we've found ourselves in.

 

Lord, I echo Elisha's prayer for his servant over my life in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Indeed, I connect my spirit to this prayer and anticipate similar outcomes for my distressing situation in Jesus' name.

 

Elisha prayed earnestly, saying, "LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see." And with a tender response, the LORD opened the young man's eyes, revealing a breathtaking sight: the mountain was filled with horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha" 2 Kings 6:17. It's important to highlight that the chariots of fire were always there; it was just the servant's spiritual eyes that needed to be opened to fully appreciate their presence.

 

God shows no favoritism. If He did it for Elisha's servant, He will undoubtedly do it for you who believe!

God's Ordained Positions Is Where You'll Find Your Provisions

Position: a condition concerning place, location, or situation. Particularly relating to favorable or unfavorable circumstances.

Scripture advises us that God knows the end of all things from their beginning, Isaiah 46:10. Scripture further advises us that God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings, Ephesians 1:3. Based on the mentioned Biblical facts of God's awareness of what He already has in place for us, then the set times of the manifestation of our preordained provisions is based on His instructions we follow regarding our current and future positions.

After God instructed Elijah to declare a famine over the land, He also directed Elijah that his next position would include his provision during the famine, as recorded in 2 Kings 17:1-5.

Provision is defined as an arrangement or preparation beforehand for the doing of something, the meeting of needs, the supplying of means, etc.

Today, I would like to share some good news with you. God's favor is upon your life, and as a result, provision has been made for that complex, stubborn, and seemingly impossible situation you find yourself in. However, it is important to follow God's instructions to fully participate in this provision and occupy the position assigned to you.

To refresh your memory, even though God instructed Elijah to declare a famine, it did not excuse him from participating. However, God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, where he would find his provisions waiting for him. It's important to note that Elijah could accept or reject these crucial instructions. Before we move forward, please say to God, "Lord, please provide me with detailed instructions to my assigned positions where my provisions await me, in the mighty name of Jesus!"

"And it shall be, that thou shall drink of the brook; and I (God) have COMMANDED the Ravens to feed thee THERE!, 2 Kings 17:4.

My friend, hear me as I speak to your spirit this morning, GOD ALMIGHTY HAS ALREADY MADE PROVISION FOR YOUR PRESENT CONDITION, BUT IT'S LOCATED AT YOUR FUTURE POSITION!

"Your priority now should be seeking God's instruction for your next position. Ask Him to guide you towards the right place, location, people, or environment to proceed to. Many of you may struggle unnecessarily because you are in the wrong position waiting on God's provisions."

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In ALL thy ways, ACKNOWLEDGE him; as a result, He SHALL DIRECT THY PATHS! Proverbs 3:5-6.

YOUR DIVINE POSITION IS INCLUSIVE OF YOUR PROVISION THAT WAS MADE IN ADVANCE OF YOUR PRESENT DISLIKE CONDITION...................

Spirit Led Folks Are Proactive Not Reactive

Don't be reactive; instead, choose to be proactive.

In other words, do not wait for trouble or challenges to visit you and then respond. Instead, you

must take on a proactive spirit and deal with your future problems and challenges in the spirit realm before they manifest in the natural realm!

Most folks who received an adverse doctor's report or whose kids encountered trouble. At this point, they want to rally up their prayer partners to launch a counter-attack on the Enemy's camp. Unfortunately, our response is only because of the physical attack. As human beings who reside in a world we share with spirits, we have the unique advantage of calling things that are not in existence and preventing certain things from manifesting in our lives before they happen. This, my friend, is called being reactive.

Everything originates in the spirit world before its existence in our natural or physical world. We can prevent certain spiritual things and events conceived in the spirit world from entering our natural world.

One primary way we do this is by being "PROACTIVE" in our prayers. We do this by canceling and rebuking all evil devices, schemes, and ploys spiritually implemented by Satan and his kingdom before they happen in our physical world. We can also cancel the plans of the kingdom of darkness before they manifest on the earth by challenging our bad dreams. Our dreams provide a glimpse of activities being conceived either for or against us in the unseen world. Again, in being proactive, we pray by asking God to destroy everything in the spirit realm that the Enemy has planned and conspired against us so that it can not manifest in our lives.

I know of many Christians diagnosed with a particular sickness, and only at this point did they want to "press into God" for a miracle. We all have the advantage of praying against cancer, Heart disease, diabetes, and any other disease before their manifestation. These diseases, or any other damaging event such as a divorce, premature death, termination from a job, etc., did not begin when the physical events took place. Unfortunately, these adverse events were initiated spiritually, and what is displayed physically is a manifestation that was never challenged spiritually.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we MUST change our methods and strategies for engaging in spiritual warfare. This is the only way to do so. We must adhere to the laws and rules laid out in Scripture, such as: We are not fighting against flesh and blood, and we must focus on the spirit world if we intend to be successful in our natural world, according to Ephesians 6:12 and 2 Corinthians 4:18.

Why not make this the day you change and implement spiritual warfare's biblical strategies? While you may not be divorced or suffering from some terminal disease, it would undoubtedly be proactive to pray against them to ensure that they never take shape in your life later. Therefore, we must choose life instead of death by being proactive instead of reactive.

"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live." Deuteronomy 30:19.

Living in the spirit will require walking by faith

The Believers in Jesus Christ who live by sight, meaning they're limited to interpreting their five senses as they relate to our natural world, will be permanently restricted, if not stagnated, in their spiritual walk.

As Believers in Jesus Christ, we are commanded to walk by faith and NOT by sight. In other words, as members of the body of Christ, we directly violate this spiritual law stated in 2 Corinthians 5:7 when we judge or even assess matters from a superficial or physical perspective.

As a body of Believers, our acceptance of Jesus Christ and his work on the cross must transition us from mere natural men and women (limited by our five senses) to receiving the Spirit of God, whose purpose is to elevate us to greater spiritual understanding and limitless spiritual experiences.

Therefore, if the Believer does not see him or herself as a new spiritual creation with the Spirit of God dwelling within them, then more than likely, they will automatically revert to their usual natural way of living, of course, which is limited to their five senses, which are governed by fear.

Walking by faith means walking or behaving according to the Holy Bible's laws, principles, rules, and protocols! In doing so, you are positioning yourself to live, walk, and even behave in a manner that must exceed your natural human limitations. Moreover, you are also in a better position to receive the things of the spirit. According to scripture, the natural man, in his attempt to obtain the things of the spirit, will always conclude the things of the spirit as foolishness simply because such things are spiritually discerned. On the other hand, the believers in Jesus Christ, who have been spiritually regenerated, will always see things from their origin no matter how they are presented. The source of all things is spiritually rooted, and comparing spiritual things with something of a spiritual nature will always unveil the mysteries of our natural problems.

Thus, the following scripture: "13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 2:13-15

Live according to the Scriptures if you intend to live beyond your limited and restricted human limitations.

Physical Strength vs Spiritual Strength

Revelation is the key that opens the mysteries in our lives.

The revelations that move us beyond the same old routine start with a greater hunger for the word of God. You cannot grow in the things of God while you stay spiritually malnourished.

Proverbs 24:10 tells us that if we faint in the day of adversity, our strength is small. To faint here means to give up, to lose your footing the moment pressure hits. Adversity always comes. The question is whether you have built enough spiritual reserve to stand through it, or whether the first hard blow puts you on the ground.

Proverbs 24:5, a few verses earlier, shows us how to build that reserve before adversity comes. It reads, "A wise man is strong, but a man of knowledge increases his strength." Wisdom gives you strength. Knowledge multiplies it. A believer who keeps feeding on the word of God keeps adding strength on top of strength, verse by verse, so the reserve is already there before trouble shows up.

Physical resistance, like weight lifting, builds physical strength. Increasing your knowledge of God in your human spirit builds spiritual strength the same way. A muscle you never train stays weak no matter how strong you look. A spirit fed only on Sunday morning behaves the same way. Do the daily work, and you will not fail in the day of adversity.

I have watched this play out in ministry more than once. Two people can sit in the same service, hear the same sermon, and walk into a crisis months later, a job loss or a sudden diagnosis. The one who spent time in the Word during the quiet season stands on Scripture the moment trouble hits. Peace comes fast, and decisions come from faith instead of panic. The other person, who only opens the Bible after trouble arrives, scrambles for a verse they cannot fully recall and reaches for fear before faith. Same crisis, two different outcomes, because one of them had already built the strength Proverbs 24:5 talks about, and the other had not.

The Real Purpose of Our Gifts

If you're sitting on your God-given gifts and talents, then make no mistake there's a whole lot of folks suffering unnecessarily because of you!

The purpose of our gifts and talents is to improve, advance, and simplify the lives of others. This is aside from its primary purpose which is bringing glory to God. Our gifts are not about us, again it will and always be about others.

There are many of you reading this post right now that are excellent singers, teachers, coordinators, etc. however, you're probably wondering why is it that, that grand opportunity hasn't arrived to launch you into what you love and enjoy doing. Well, just maybe, it is because your focus is more on what your gifts and talents will do for you as opposed to what it was intended to do for others.

Speaking from experience, I can say to you that my gifts and talents that I'm on a consistent basis sharing with others have on many occasions open unexpected doors of opportunity for me. I would like to encourage someone this morning who have been wondering when will your gifts begin opening doors for you.

Firstly, you must put aside the wealth and fame that has become your primary thoughts as to what your gifts will do for you. Instead, begin to focus on freely sharing your gifts with others and watch your gifts do to their lives what it was intended to do, while God begins the process of opening those once impossible doors of opportunity for you!
