Paul had stinkin' thinkin'? Activating the kingdom of darkness with his negative confessions?



This sounds a lot like occultic or "magical" thinking.



Evil spirits don't care about what you say or don't say, unless it's along the lines of "Come out in the name of Jesus." Psalm 103:20 is talking about the angels obeying GOD'S word, not evil spirits feeding off our words.



Your basic idea here is allright, but I think you should get a more Scriptural foundation for how you express it. Because the terminology and phrases you are using are straight out of the occult and the Word-Faith movement.

I understand your point brother but did you thouroughly check the statement of Paul?

Who is deserving to be called a witch here? I must have missed something.

Yes, I thoroughly checked his statement.

Our Focus should be on what we cannot see, realizing the effects in ours and others lives. Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, and temperance cannot be seen with the eye. And only the Lord knows if these are truly in our hearts. If we focus on these in our lives then it is harder for the adversary to discourage us.

2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the (things which are seen are temporal); but the things (which are not seen are eternal.)

The occult, superstitions and all false faiths are Cabbalistic Jewish Fables. The only thing our adversary can do correctly is Lie. He is the Father of Lies. He sows fear, doubt and unbelief in those who will listen.

Titus 1:13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14 (Not giving heed to Jewish fables), (and commandments of men, that turn from the truth). 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled, and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

I have found that when I am weak he is strong. Where I fail he is faithful. Words do matter, but the Word of God is written in our hearts. The blood of our Savior is greater than the negativity of the world. Our enemy tries to create doubt and unbelief in the promises we have been given by Jesus, but the just shall live by faith.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Our Faith should be focused on that which is eternal rather than the temporal. We live this life as a living sacrifice. And confess to our Father thy will be done not mine. I try to keep these words on my lips always.

Hebrews 11: 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, (the evidence of things not seen). 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Some of the most depressing things you'll ever read are inspired verses of Holy Scripture. Job's pain and lament. Many of the Psalms. Lamentations, etc. Sometimes pouring out one's complaint before the Lord is the greatest adoration and worship a person can give to the Master.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. Give God your brokenness, and He will give you beauty for ashes. Don't pretend the ashes aren't real, or that you can just wish them away with the power of your words. Give them to God as your most noble sacrifice, and let Him take from you all that hurts you and causes you grief, and then He, and not you, will replace them with something worthy.
