Thinking with Chris Christian Vol. 21

Introduction

As strong as ideology is, there are some battles certain thoughts cannot win. The church is not moving forward because she is confronting the devil with prayer.

In 2 Corinthians 4:3-4, the Bible says, “3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”

The Bible says, the devil is a god. What this means is that the devil is a spirit that protects himself with strong thoughts. Satan became a god because he is a master. There is a level you will get to; and you will start seeing. Before Satan went to Eve, he knew that the thought of ‘Innocence’ cannot completely connect one to God. Satan knew that Eve was not in charge of herself. A heart that is not shielded will yield to depression. How can one go far when he is not shielded by revelation? When one is not sure of certain things, how can he win against an intelligent swindler? The Lion must come because there are certain battles the thought of the Lamb cannot win. The guardian angel of the Lamb cannot form a kingdom on earth that can completely and finally oust Satan from the earth. So, there is need for God to take another image of a Lion to completely oust satan from the earth.

In Jeremiah 50:44, the Bible says, “44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?”

The Lion is coming from a swelling. The swelling depicts the strength of His revelation.

In Revelation 19:15, the Bible says, “15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.”
