0:02 Hi you guys. My name is Marian Chanel
0:04 and welcome to my channel. You guys
0:07 might hear slight music in the
0:09 background. Don't mind it if you do. My
0:11 brother and his friends, they have
0:12 [music] a band and they're like
0:15 practicing right now. Today's video I'm
0:18 really excited about because this is
0:19 something that [music]
0:21 I have struggled with personally in my
0:24 walk with God and sometimes I even still
0:27 do. The enemy has been trying really,
0:30 really hard to attack me. These past
0:32 couple weeks, a lot has been happening.
0:34 And that's just what happens when you
0:36 want to have a [music] relationship with
0:38 God and you're working hard to obey him
0:40 and to follow his will for your life.
0:41 You're just going to go through a lot of
0:43 spiritual warfare, [music]
0:44 especially mentally. If you have
0:46 struggled with depression and like
0:50 anxiety and intrusive thoughts in the
0:53 past, but instead of going to God in the
0:56 past, you went to like drugs or alcohol
0:58 or fornication. In this video today, we
1:00 are going to be discussing how to
1:04 overcome intrusive thoughts. Just know
1:06 that we can do all things through Christ
1:10 who strengthens us. And don't listen to
1:12 the enemy's lies. [music]
1:15 The enemy wants you to be in a low
1:18 mental state so that you can become
1:21 depressed and anxious and worry and have
1:24 fear and steer you away from being
1:28 joyful and praying to God. My experience
1:30 in the past when I would have these
1:33 intrusive thoughts, I would not go to
1:36 God when I first got saved. I would try
1:38 and fight them on my own and it just
1:41 made things [music] worse for me. And I
1:42 ended up going to other things like I
1:44 was talking about a couple minutes ago
1:46 [music] instead of going to God himself.
1:49 And he's literally the only one who can
1:51 genuinely clear your thoughts and keep
1:53 you on the right track. When you believe
1:55 it with your whole heart and you really
1:58 commit to him and you read his word and
2:00 he sees that that you're trying to rely
2:01 on him in this desperate [music] time of
2:03 need, he's going to hold on to you and
2:05 he's not going to let go. We have free
2:07 will. So if you wanted to do other
2:09 stuff, you could. But when you have a
2:11 specific will for your life that the
2:13 Lord is trying to make you walk in, it's
2:15 going to be really hard when you do it
2:16 by yourself. [music] It's not going to
2:19 be easy. First things first, you need to
2:21 make your thoughts obedient to Christ.
2:24 In 2 Corinthians 10:5,
2:27 it says, "We demolish arguments and
2:30 every pretension that sets itself up
2:32 against the knowledge of God, and we
2:35 take captive every thought and make it
2:38 obedient to Christ." So when you hear
2:39 these thoughts, the first thing you need
2:43 to say is, I take every thought captive
2:45 and make it obedient to Christ by the
2:48 blood of Yeshua in Jesus mighty name.
2:51 Amen. [music] We don't need to just read
2:53 the word, but we also need to apply in
2:56 our life, especially in times of
2:58 persecution from the enemy. We need to
3:00 remember these verses and then we need
3:02 to speak them over ourselves. We know in
3:04 Proverbs, if you don't know, I'll put
3:07 the verse down here below. The tongue
3:09 has the power of life and death, and
3:12 those who love it will eat its fruit. We
3:13 can speak [music]
3:15 life over ourselves and over others,
3:17 too, who might be going through this as
3:19 well. So, each time I get intrusive
3:22 thoughts, anytime the enemy is trying to
3:25 make me think negatively, I rebuke it in
3:28 the mighty name of Yeshua. And I say, I
3:30 make you obedient to Christ. I take
3:31 every thought captive and make it
3:34 obedient to Christ. And I rebuke you. I
3:35 rebuke that thought by the blood of
3:38 Jesus. And I command you to stay away
3:40 from me, Satan. Take the authority that
3:44 Jesus gave you and speak life over
3:46 yourself and cast and rebuke these
3:49 demons away from your mind. The more
3:51 that you let them have access to you
3:53 that way and you just try to fight it
3:55 off yourself, they're just going to
3:58 increase. You have to speak the word of
4:00 God over yourself. and you need to take
4:02 it straight up to God. Like I'm getting
4:04 to the point where like I'm noticing
4:06 that they're not my thoughts and it's
4:09 just the enemy. Like it's just demons
4:10 and other people's demons who are
4:12 speaking to me. I'm starting to get to
4:13 the point where I'm like, "Oh my gosh,
4:15 like I can't accept these thoughts. I
4:17 have to really pay attention like like
4:19 genuinely like be alert and of sober
4:21 mind." Sometimes these thoughts can give
4:23 us anxiety. They can stress us out. I
4:25 understand that very well. And that's
4:27 what Satan wants to do. Like I said, he
4:28 wants to put fear in you. He wants you
4:30 to be anxious. He wants you to worry. In
4:34 1 Peter 5:7, it says, "Cast all your
4:36 anxiety on him because he cares for
4:38 you." Again, in prayer, say, "Lord, I
4:40 cast my anxiety onto you. I pray that
4:43 you replace it with peace. I pray that
4:45 you replace it with strength and courage
4:48 in your truth, Lord, in the mighty name
4:52 of Yeshua." Amen. In John 10:10, it
4:55 says, "The thief comes only to steal and
4:58 kill and destroy. I have come that
5:00 [music] they may have life and have it
5:03 to the full. Jesus is telling us that
5:05 when you get these thoughts, just know
5:07 that that's what Satan's trying to do.
5:10 He's trying to steal your joy. He's
5:12 trying to steal your purpose. He's
5:14 trying to steal your life. He wants to
5:16 destroy everything about you. Satan's
5:18 such a hater, you guys. The closer I get
5:20 to God and the more that I go through
5:23 this stuff, I just realize like how much
5:26 the Lord saved me from all the lies that
5:29 are becoming illuminated because of him.
5:31 Satan is such a manipulator. [music]
5:34 He's such a liar. He literally he makes
5:36 you believe that everything is good and
5:38 he'll give you whatever you want and
5:40 that he cares about you and your will be
5:42 done this, this, and that. It comes with
5:44 a price. There's a price to pay for
5:47 that. and it's your life for all
5:50 eternity. Us who are born again, we know
5:52 what Satan's trying to do. It's just the
5:54 fact that we're actually trying to do
5:57 something about it. And he is threatened
5:59 by that. Just think about it. Satan is
6:03 threatened by you. He's threatened by me
6:05 because we have authority in Jesus
6:07 Christ because we're born again and we
6:09 have a chance to go to heaven no matter
6:12 what we [music] do. Satan hates that. He
6:14 hates that we have that chance, but it's
6:16 because we're made in the image of God,
6:18 and he is not. We're made from an
6:21 amazing God. Our purposes is so much
6:23 greater than Satan's. [music] Like I
6:25 said, Satan's a hater. He's prideful.
6:28 He's evil. He's [music] arrogant. He's
6:30 just everything bad. Everything bad.
6:32 Everything evil. He doesn't care about
6:35 you. If you're watching this and you
6:36 haven't given your life to Christ yet,
6:38 I'm just telling you right now, Satan
6:40 hates you very much. You think that
6:42 Satan is all good? That couldn't be
6:44 furthest from the [music] truth. He is
6:46 the father of lies. God literally tells
6:49 us that in the Bible in Isaiah 54:17, it
6:51 says, "No weapon forged against you will
6:53 prevail, and you will refute every
6:55 tongue that accuses you. This is the
6:57 heritage of the servants of the Lord,
6:59 and this is their vindication from me,
7:01 declares the Lord." So, the enemy is
7:04 going to shoot his shots. He might get
7:08 you, but you will not be taken out. You
7:10 might get hit, but like it says here, no
7:12 weapon forged against you will prevail.
7:14 He will take his shots at you. He will
7:16 shoot his arrows. He will swing his
7:20 sword. He will do whatever he can. But
7:22 when you take authority in Jesus and you
7:24 speak the blood of Jesus over yourself
7:25 and the word of God over yourself and
7:27 you continue to live the way that the
7:29 Lord is calling you to live and to walk
7:31 in the purpose and plan that he has for
7:33 your life and to use your spiritual
7:36 gifts in this world against the enemy
7:39 and for the people of God and the
7:42 unbelievers. He will take his shots and
7:45 you might stumble a couple times, but
7:48 you will never ever be put out
7:51 completely. And the Lord is telling us
7:53 that like straight up that the enemy
7:54 might come at you a couple times,
7:57 [music] but when you rely on me, when
8:00 you make me your refuge, the enemy can't
8:02 do anything against the one and only
8:04 true God, the Alpha and Omega. He can't
8:07 do nothing nothing against him. He knows
8:09 who's boss around here and that is the
8:11 one and only God. When we make the one
8:14 and only God our strong tower and the
8:16 God that will crush all of our enemies
8:18 and put them under our feet through the
8:19 name of Yeshua, through the blood of
8:23 Yeshua, nothing is going to prevail when
8:26 it is about destroying our life and our
8:28 purpose in life that we do for the Lord.
8:31 It won't [music] prevail in Jesus mighty
8:33 name. And you need to speak that over
8:35 yourself. And you need to hold that in
8:37 your heart and be strong and courageous
8:39 like the Lord tells us to. Yes, we need
8:41 to be pure and we need to have childlike
8:43 faith. And we need to keep our hearts
8:45 pure, but we also need to be strong and
8:49 we also need to have courage to take our
8:53 stand against the enemy and against the
8:55 evil that works through people who
8:57 aren't saved. And the way we do that is
9:00 with love and strength and truth.
9:03 everything good. But the greatest of
9:05 these is love. The greatest of them
9:08 through everything that you do is love
9:11 for the Lord, love for people, [music]
9:13 and love for their eternal salvation.
9:16 Another way we can overcome intrusive
9:18 thoughts is to pour your heart out to
9:21 the Lord. In Psalm 34:18, [music] it
9:23 says, "The Lord is close to the
9:25 brokenhearted and saves those who are
9:27 crushed in spirit." In my experience,
9:30 before I fully committed to God, I was
9:31 very brokenhearted and I was going
9:34 through a lot, especially mental
9:37 inflictions. And I prayed to the Lord a
9:39 lot, but it was for the wrong things
9:40 [music] at first. I mean, they weren't
9:42 necessarily all wrong, but the things I
9:44 wasn't praying for that I should have
9:46 been praying for was pouring my heart
9:49 out to the Lord and wanting to have the
9:52 Lord dwell in my heart. It can't be for
9:54 a selfish reason. He wants a
9:56 relationship with you. He wants us to go
9:58 to him with an open heart for him to
10:01 dwell there because we actually want his
10:04 love and we actually want his peace and
10:06 we actually want him to to be there. And
10:08 it's not that he doesn't want to give
10:09 you your desires. He does if it's
10:11 according to his will and purpose for
10:14 your life. But the most important thing
10:16 that he is seeking is a relationship
10:19 with you and to know you and for you to
10:22 know him and his character and how much
10:24 he cares about you because he doesn't
10:27 want you to go to hell. You guys, the
10:28 Lord just doesn't want you to go to
10:31 hell. He's trying to save your life.
10:33 He's trying to help you be a better
10:36 person and he's trying to help you make
10:38 good decisions. He's trying to help you,
10:40 trying to guide you, be your God and
10:42 your savior and your father and your
10:43 mother. But you have to meet it with
10:45 your whole heart. You have to want him
10:46 with your whole heart. And when you are
10:48 brokenhearted, when you're going through
10:51 pain, the best time to go to God is
10:53 during those moments because he's going
10:55 to make sure that you are so much
10:57 stronger when you come out of that, when
10:59 you were healed from that. But if you go
11:00 to other things, if you go to other
11:03 people, you go to other gods, you're not
11:04 going to be fulfilled in the moment.
11:06 Things might seem like they're okay, but
11:08 eventually in the future, you're going
11:10 to reap the seed that you sowed. Just
11:13 like a parent disciplines his child, the
11:15 Lord disciplines us. But it's out of
11:18 love. And it's because he wants us to be
11:20 safe, make good decisions, and he wants
11:22 to love us and wants us to love other
11:26 people the way that he created us to do.
11:28 In Psalm 19:12, it says, "But who can
11:30 discern their own errors? Forgive my
11:33 hidden faults." As we all know, we're
11:36 still sinners. We are new creations in
11:39 Christ, but we can still mess up. Okay?
11:41 We're not perfect. Now, there are
11:43 certain things that we mess up on, and
11:44 there are certain things that we don't
11:46 even know we mess up on. There are
11:48 certain things that we don't know about
11:50 ourselves that we could be doing against
11:53 the Lord that's sinful. Ask the Lord to
11:55 forgive our hidden faults, of things
11:58 that we are unaware of. In 2 Chronicles
12:01 7:14, it says, "If [music] my people who
12:03 are called by my name will humble
12:06 themselves and pray and seek my face and
12:08 turn from their wicked ways, then I will
12:11 hear from heaven and I will forgive
12:13 their [music] sin and will heal their
12:18 land." Philippians 4 6-7 it says do not
12:20 be anxious about anything but in every
12:22 situation by prayer and petition with
12:24 thanksgiving [music] present your
12:26 requests to God and the peace of God
12:30 which transcends all understanding will
12:31 guard your hearts and your minds in
12:34 Christ Jesus. Don't be anxious about
12:35 anything. Don't feel any negative
12:38 [music] feelings that Satan is trying to
12:40 send you, trying to put you in a dark
12:42 place, trying to make you fall back more
12:44 into [music] sin in every situation,
12:48 good or bad. Pray, fast, and give thanks
12:51 to the Lord every single time. It
12:54 doesn't matter what the situation is.
12:55 And the [music] peace of God which
12:58 fulfills every understanding, especially
12:59 things in our life that we feel like no
13:01 one will understand. The Lord
13:04 understands you. Okay? He knows. He sees
13:06 everything. He knows everything. And he
13:07 knows your heart. [music] He knows how
13:09 to heal you. He created you. He will
13:12 give you peace through all of it.
13:14 Through Christ Jesus, who is the prince
13:19 of peace. In Jeremiah 29 11-14, it says,
13:21 "For I know the plans I have for you,
13:24 declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you,
13:26 not to harm you. Plans to give you hope
13:29 and a future. Then you will call on me
13:31 and come and pray to me, and I will
13:33 listen to you. You will seek me and find
13:36 me when you seek me with all your heart.
13:38 I will be found by you, declares the
13:40 Lord, and will bring you back from
13:43 captivity. The Lord is in control when
13:47 you rest in him. He has a plan laid out
13:49 for you, ready for you to grab hold of.
13:52 All because you sought the Lord and you
13:54 did it with your whole heart. You relied
13:57 on him in this hard time. You prayed to
14:00 him. You fasted to him. You relied on
14:02 him. And you made every thought, you
14:04 made every negative thing [music] that
14:07 the enemy tried to throw at you obedient
14:10 to Jesus. And you rest assured to know
14:13 that God is in control of your life and
14:15 not Satan. He knows the plans he has for
14:17 you. And you need to trust that. [music]
14:19 No matter how hard things might seem in
14:21 your life, keep fighting. It's going to
14:23 be worth it. Just know that the closer
14:25 you try to get to God, the more you rely
14:26 on him, the [music] more spiritual
14:28 warfare that you're going to go through.
14:30 But you're going to be so much stronger.
14:32 Your faith is going to be so much more
14:34 stronger. Your love for him and your
14:36 [music] intelligence for the word of God
14:38 is going to grow and you're going to
14:40 prevail. You're still going to go
14:42 through a lot of persecution, but you
14:44 will have such an amazing relationship
14:46 with the [music] Lord and you will know
14:49 how to be the man or woman that God
14:51 called you to be in this life to [music]
14:54 make a true difference to fulfill the
14:56 will that he has for your life. Just
14:59 like Jesus fulfilled the Lord's will, we
15:01 have that same responsibility. One of
15:03 the most important ways that we can
15:05 overcome our intrusive thoughts from the
15:09 enemy is to know that you are a new
15:15 creation in Christ. Romans 6 7 it says
15:18 because anyone who has died has been set
15:21 free from sin. And then if you go down
15:25 to verse 12 to13, it says, "Therefore,
15:27 do not let sin reign in your mortal body
15:30 so that you will obey its evil desires.
15:33 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin
15:36 as an instrument of wickedness, but
15:38 rather offer yourselves to God as those
15:40 who have been brought from death to
15:42 life, and offer every part of yourself
15:45 to him as an instrument of
15:47 righteousness." When we repent with our
15:50 whole hearts, Jesus forgives us through
15:52 God in heaven. And then we are free from
15:55 our sin and from eternal death. We are
15:58 forgiven. We are a new creation. There
16:02 is no condemnation for those who are
16:05 born again in Christ. Your sins are
16:07 forgiven. And that's why we don't have
16:09 to sacrifice animals. It's why we don't
16:11 have to do a lot of certain things
16:13 because Jesus was the sacrifice. Your
16:15 sins are forgiven. Even if you haven't
16:17 even repented yet, they are already
16:19 forgiven. The Lord is just waiting for
16:21 you to give your heart to him. You are
16:24 set free from sin. Who the son sets free
16:27 is free indeed. You need to know that
16:29 and not let the lies of the enemy pull
16:32 you back in and make you obey the
16:34 evilness of what the enemy is telling
16:37 you, making you obey his words and to
16:38 listen to what he's saying and accept
16:41 them. No, you don't accept the evilness
16:44 of who you used to be before because you
16:46 were born again. You are a new creation.
16:48 You are set free. Don't let the enemy
16:51 lie to you. He is a liar. He comes to
16:53 steal, kill, and destroy. And he's going
16:55 to try everything he can to pull you
16:59 back on his side because he wants you to
17:02 be dead spiritually and physically. He
17:04 doesn't care about you. We are not God.
17:06 There's only one God. There is a bunch
17:10 of deities who have power but only so
17:12 much that the Lord allows them to have.
17:14 But they will fall like every other
17:17 mortal and every other ruler of the
17:19 earth. But true power comes from
17:21 obedience to the one and only God. The
17:23 one who gave us life, the one who
17:25 provides for us, Jehovah Gyra, beginning
17:28 and end, alpha and omega. When we rely
17:31 on him as our God and we are born again,
17:33 we literally hold the spirit of God
17:36 within us. We have so much more
17:39 authority and power through him against
17:41 these false gods, against Satan. We
17:43 literally have the spirit of God living
17:45 within us when you are saved, when you
17:48 are born again. That is so cool and that
17:52 is such a honor to be able to have that.
17:54 And it's all for the greater good of
17:56 humanity. It's all for the greater good
18:00 of eternity. It's all for a purpose, a
18:02 divine purpose, an eternal purpose that
18:05 we get to be part of. But Satan cannot.
18:08 He is so threatened by that. And so are
18:11 people who have demons who try to attack
18:13 your mind, who try to persecute you.
18:16 They're all lies from the enemy. But we
18:18 just have to continue to fight back with
18:20 love. And the more that we fight back
18:22 with love and the word of God and we
18:24 rely on his power and his strength to
18:28 dwell within us and to work with out the
18:30 entire world to whoever we encounter
18:32 online or in person. As long as we
18:35 continue to do that, we will prevail.
18:36 Speak these words over yourself during
18:38 prayer. Believe it with your whole
18:40 entire heart. Ask him to help you love
18:43 him more and to fear him more. In James
18:46 1:22, it says, "Do not merely listen to
18:49 the word and so deceive yourselves. Do
18:52 what it says." Clear as day, the Lord is
18:54 saying, "Don't just read my words. Don't
18:56 just listen to them, but try your best
18:58 to obey them. Try your best to use them
19:01 in your life. Take these instructions.
19:03 Take this word of life, this word of
19:06 God. Take it to whole heart. Practice
19:10 it. Remember the verses. really meditate
19:13 and study on the word and get to know
19:15 God in a more deeper way. And he will
19:18 reveal things to you. He will bless you
19:20 with more knowledge. He will bless you
19:22 with more fear of the Lord. He will
19:24 bless you with more love for yourself
19:27 and for others. And you will always be
19:29 strong. You will go through hard times
19:32 in your life. But when you just continue
19:34 to still seek the Lord and rely on him
19:38 and obey him, it's like all that yiness,
19:40 all that yuckiness that Satan tried to
19:43 tell you, tried to throw into your life
19:45 to make you fall back into sin, it's
19:47 gone. You won't hear anymore. You're
19:48 going to look back and like you're going
19:50 to be like, "Damn, like I don't even
19:52 know why I was stressed out about all
19:54 that. It seems so hard in the moment,
19:56 but I feel really good. I feel at
19:57 peace." And it's because you relied on
19:59 God. You relied on his word. You
20:02 believed what it said. He told you that
20:05 you are set free when you are forgiven
20:08 and to speak these words over yourself.
20:10 You believed it and you continued to
20:12 seek the Lord despite the persecution
20:15 from the enemy because his words are
20:18 true. God is not a liar and he loves you
20:20 and he wants you to be at peace. He just
20:22 wants you to grow. He wants you to grow
20:24 strong. He wants you to be smart and
20:26 spiritually discerned. It's a long fight
20:28 that we have in this human flesh, but
20:30 it's worth it. Just like all the
20:32 prophets in the past, they gave up their
20:34 lives for God. They gave up their lives
20:38 for Jesus because they knew that what
20:40 was offered to them, what the Lord
20:43 promised them was so much more valuable
20:46 than what was offered here on earth. God
20:48 has already shown you. He has already
20:50 shown you how beautiful it is through
20:51 the encounters that you had with him.
20:52 And if you haven't had encounters with
20:55 him yet, I'm telling you, when you seek
20:57 the Lord with your entire heart, when
20:58 you repent with your entire heart,
21:00 asking for forgiveness and changing from
21:02 it, when you encounter him, when you
21:04 encounter his love and his grace and his
21:06 peace, he promises that for all
21:09 eternity, it's an experience that I
21:12 really want others to feel too because
21:14 it changes your heart. And when you feel
21:17 that, it literally like convicts you to
21:18 want to do better for yourself and do
21:20 better for others and to be set apart
21:22 from this world, to be separate from
21:24 this world, which is what Jesus is
21:26 calling us to be anyways. And it's crazy
21:28 that our experiences with him makes us
21:30 feel that way. And it's because when
21:33 we're set free, we are set apart. When
21:34 we're set free and we're born again,
21:37 we're new creation. We're literally part
21:40 of God's kingdom spiritually. We're not
21:43 from this world. We're different. And
21:44 that's why we go through persecution.
21:46 That's why the enemy keeps attacking us
21:49 because we have found out our true
21:51 potential and our true authority and our
21:54 true identity in Jesus. Last but not
21:57 least, the most important way to
22:00 overcome your intrusive thoughts is to
22:03 focus on righteousness. In Proverbs
22:06 15:9, it says, "The Lord detests the way
22:09 of the wicked, but he loves those who
22:13 pursue righteousness." In Colossians 3
22:16 2:10 it says, "Set your minds on things
22:18 above, not on earthly things. For you
22:20 died and your life is now hidden with
22:23 Christ in God. With Christ who is your
22:25 life appears, then you will also appear [music]
22:26 [music]
22:28 with him in glory. Put to death.
22:30 Therefore, whatever belongs to your
22:33 earthly nature, sexual immorality,
22:36 impurity, lust, evil desires, and greed,
22:38 which is idolatry. Because of these, the
22:40 wrath of God is coming. You used to walk
22:42 in these ways [music] in the life you
22:45 once lived. But now you must also rid
22:48 yourself of all such things as these
22:51 anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy
22:54 language from your lips. Do not lie to
22:55 each other since you have taken off your
22:57 old self with its practices [music]
23:00 and have put on the new self which is
23:02 being renewed in knowledge in the image
23:06 of its creator. In Philippians 4:8-9 it
23:09 says, "Finally, brothers and sisters,
23:11 whatever is true, whatever is noble,
23:14 whatever is right, whatever is pure,
23:16 whatever is lovely, whatever is
23:17 admirable, if [music] anything is
23:20 excellent or praiseworthy, think about
23:22 such things. Whatever you have learned
23:25 or received or heard from me or seen in
23:28 me, put it into practice and the [music]
23:31 God of peace will be with you. No matter
23:33 how many times you mess up, as long as
23:35 you continue to seek righteousness and
23:37 you continue to seek what the Holy
23:39 Spirit [music] wants us to seek, things
23:41 of the spirit, not things of the flesh,
23:44 and we take the lies from the enemy, and
23:47 we make them obedient to Christ, and we
23:49 move towards purity and righteousness
23:51 and peace and everything that the Lord
23:54 is trying to teach us, trying [music] to
23:56 give to us. The more that we do this,
23:57 the more stronger that we're going to
23:59 be. Satan will try and throw some in the
24:02 future, but we will know exactly what
24:03 the enemy is trying to do. And we'll
24:05 know exactly what to do first when it
24:08 happens. It could happen now early in
24:10 your walk with God and you get anxious
24:13 and you worry and you have fear and you
24:15 feel guilty and remorse. Instead of
24:17 having those feelings, you will just
24:19 come to terms to know that you know it's
24:21 the enemy trying to attack you. You know
24:23 it's the enemy trying to throw you back
24:25 down to your old patterns. You're going
24:27 to take it what the enemy [music] said
24:28 and you are just going to automatically
24:30 know exactly what to do. You're going to
24:32 be so strong and so powerful in the
24:34 Lord. That is how you overcome intrusive
24:37 thoughts. Consistency is key when it
24:39 comes to relationship with God. You have
24:41 to seek him every day and seek [music]
24:42 righteousness every single day. And
24:44 those who seek righteousness, those who
24:46 genuinely want to have relationship with
24:48 God and genuinely want to change, we're
24:49 going to go through a lot of
24:50 persecution. We're going to go through a
24:52 lot of stuff. But the more that we seek
24:54 it, the more that we'll be blessed with
24:56 it because we truly want it. What you
24:58 guys need to do is pray and ask the Lord
25:00 to help you overcome the attacks of the
25:02 enemy. And pray and ask him to help you
25:05 become more righteous and pure. You will
25:07 go through testing and trials, but as
25:09 long as you keep seeking the Lord and
25:12 his words and applying it to your life,
25:14 you will always prevail in the end. You
25:17 can overcome anything with the Lord. And
