The Supernatural

The is no escape form the spiritual world and the influence of the supernatural over your life.  There is no safe place.  You can't opt out; to deny its existence has no effect.  Denying the existence of the spiritual and supernatural, or believing in other things, doesn't change the reality of the spirit world or diminish its influence over your life.  Your environment is defined by God, who made it for your good, and but the consequences of sin that brought corruption.

The good news (Gospel) is that God has given you, as a believer, authority and power over the spirit world and its powers (ruling spirit beings); that is, over the spiritual and supernatural influences of evil.  Even without Christ, our human will blocks entrance of many harmful things into our lives,  But in Christ we are given far greater authority over what Satan can deliver to us.

Negative Faith

Negative Faith

Beware of negative faith.  The negative statement of faith that comes from your mouth makes you a prisoner of you own ill-considered words.  Positive confession and the Word of  God in you mouth put you on the right path.  What you say, mixed with your positive faith, puts you on the path to what will become you new reality in Christ.

Regarding negative expressions, the Bible says in Proverbs 6:2, "You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth."

In the first section of this book we looked at spirit things.  As you recall, there are good an bad spirit things - genuine things made of spirit.  Satan brings you packages of evil things (e.g. illnesses and temptations).  When you state with you mouth that you own them, it's like signing a receipt for a package the devil wants to deliver to you.  Don't do it!  Refuse to take delivery.
