The Devil wants to fill the soul section of your
spiritual mind with bad memories that will hinder you from becoming
the person that God wants you to be. The story of Joseph is a good
example. His mother died early and he did not have a good childhood
because his half-brothers hated him. God gave him two dreams but
then he was sold in slavery. He was betrayed, scorned and forgotten
by mankind but God vindicated him after thirteen horrible years and
the prophetic dreams of his childhood were fulfilled. Joseph could
have been crippled by the bad memories of the past but he chose to
rely upon God and forgive those who had hurt him. Satan's failed
attempt at mind control would have taken Joseph in the opposite
direction of where God wanted him to go and destroyed his faith and
hope in God. Satan wasn't able to overcome Joseph with despair and
depression because he decided early on in his life that God would be
his source and he stuck to that decision throughout those tumultuous
years. Joseph's story is a reminder that we can overcome anything
with God's help. |
