How Satan Gains Control of the Deep Subconscious Mind.
Satan uses his angels, principalities, and powers of his kingdom, which reside in my heavenly space, (Eph 6:12) to control my ancestry, my relationships with people, my marriages, my possessions, my ability to make money, my spending money, etc.
Inside of me, he gains control of my human spirit, imagination, conscience, memory / images, emotions, intellect, will, and personality to get me to be or feel like a victim, to be my own savior, and the lust to be my own god.
Satan starts controlling me through my inheritance. "The sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the children to the third and fourth generation." My parents inherit the sins of their forefathers, and so do I.
My parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents who are part of my inheritance can do things to me or against me that cause me to be hurt emotionally, physically, or mentally. These hurts can take the form of physical abuse, verbal abuse, domination, sexual abuse, Satanic ritual abuse, drug abuse, alcohol or other abuse. They can take the form of abandonment or the death of one or both parents. They can even take the form of a parent working, doing church work, charity work, etc., in such a manner as to make me feel abandoned.
These hurts can happen one time, periodically, or continuously.
These hurts cause me to fear what is happening, what has happened, or what will happen. As I am forced to participate in the original hurt or hurts, or as I think about and fear the hurts afterward, I begin to become angry. The anger then becomes resentment and unforgiveness, and then I begin to hate the person who has hurt me. If I take this process far enough, I will consider killing the person I believe responsible for the hurt.
As all this is happening to me, I begin to wonder where God is in all of it. "Why doesn't God come and intervene? Why doesn't He protect me? Why is he ignoring my plight?" I begin to feel fear, anger, resentment, and unforgiveness toward God.
I then begin to feel guilt, condemnation and self-judgment toward myself for feeling this way. Then, I begin to feel anger, resentment, unforgiveness, hatred towards myself, leading to thoughts of death or suicide. I feel like there is something wrong with me, and I feel that what is happening to me must be my fault. I develop low self-esteem and bad feelings about myself.
As I am growing up, I meet more people who trigger these same feelings as the person who hurt me before. When this happens, the fear, anger, resentment, unforgiveness and hatred come up to the surface and I react in anger towards the person triggering these feelings. If the triggering is strong enough, I may even go into a rage and may hurt or kill the person.
I am trying to be my own savior to save myself from being a victim At the same time, I am trying to find a way to overcome and/or escape my hurtful situation. I may decide to act helpless so others will do things for me so I can prove to myself that they love and accept me. Or, I may decide to perform and be perfect for other people in order to win or earn their love and acceptance.
Then again, I may decide to intimidate, dominate or control other people. This may take the form of overt physical or verbal domination or abuse, or it may take a more subtle form in which I use seduction, manipulation or even sickness to control the behavior of others. In either case, I am trying to be my own savior to protect myself from pain and to cause others to love and accept me according to my own definitions of love and acceptance.
In trying to be my own savior, I can use any or all of these tactics. What I am trying to accomplish is to redeem, rescue, protect, or care for my own self.
Being my own god.
Most people don't realize that they have tried to be their own god. Further, they don't feel that they have actually been their own god. However, it is universally true that, until we are set free by the Lord Jesus Christ, everyone tries in various ways to be his own god.
I need to understand what this means. "Being my own god" means that I am trying, in whatever way, to control or manipulate other people and situations so that I am "in control" and so that others do what I want and my expectations and desires—also called "lusts" in the Bible— are accomplished. In our world, anyone who seems to have accomplished this goal seems to "have it made." But such a person never really feels, deep inside, that he really has reached the goal of being "in control" and having everything he wants. However well I do at trying to be my own god, I can never do it well enough. I always know that at best, I am living as a counterfeit life.
The Real Thing
Being my own god only gives me a counterfeit of the love, joy, peace, contentment and true security which the Lord Jesus Christ offers. The Lord Jesus offers "the peaceful fruit of Righteousness, which includes real love, joy, peace, contentment, security and a lot more; He offers "abundant life." Even if I am already a Christian, I must get free from the counterfeit in order to enjoy The Real Thing.
How To Get Free
I need to annul in the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ all the inherited and personal covenants by which Satan's kingdom has kept me deceived and entrapped.
Begin to pray the following prayer, and continue praying it daily for as long as necessary — perhaps three weeks or longer— until you know you are really free. As you pray, the Lord will show other specific things to pray in addition to these prayers.
Prayers
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by His Blood, I break and annul every covenant I have received or made to have fear, anger, resentment and hate towards the people who have hurt me.
I break and annul in the Blood of Jesus the covenants I have made to believe that I am a bad, unworthy person, and deserving of all the bad things that have happened to me.
I break and annul the covenants I have made to believe that I am responsible for what has happened to me and to judge myself and others. I break and annul my covenants with pride.
I am not the Judge, God is, and through Jesus Christ I am no longer guilty. Jesus has set me free. I choose to forgive myself completely and receive the forgiveness of God. I let this forgiveness flood over my whole being inside and outside of me.
I choose to believe that when Jesus died on the cross, my old sinful nature died with Him; I am a new person in Him because of His resurrection (Romans 6:5-7, 2 Cor 5:17). I choose to accept this exchange of the old life for a totally New Life which Jesus Christ has already accomplished for me. I trade in my old sinful self and agree that it died on the cross with Jesus, and I receive the new person Jesus created me to be and gave to me through His resurrection. I choose to be dead to the old nature and alive to the new. I thank Jesus for doing this for me.
Praise Your Name, Lord!
I break and annul the covenants I made to blame the people who hurt me. I now realize they were victims of their own inheritances and past. I choose to release them into the hands of God. I repent of the fear, anger, resentment, unforgiveness and hate I have held towards them. I forgive them and I let the forgiveness of God flood over my being and wash me from all my feelings towards these people.
I repent of my fear, anger, resentment, unforgiveness and hate towards God because I felt that He did not intervene for me the way He should, when He should, where He should, and how he should. I am not God's judge. He is my judge.
I ask You, Lord, to forgive me for feeling this way toward You. I thank You that You fill me with Your forgiveness and I feel Your Love and compassion surrounding me, as You fill me with Yourself.
I am now a dead man to everything from my past. I am cleansed of the thoughts and images that control me. I choose to be filled with a new set of images from the Kingdom of God. I choose to act in obedience to the Holy Spirit who guides and directs me in all areas of my life.
Begin to worship and praise God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit for what they have done for you!
