Today, as I proclaimed Psalm 91, I got a nudge in my Spirit when I declared verse five.  

I will never worry about an attack

of demonic forces at night,

nor fear a spirit of darkness

coming against me.

Then I heard: That this statement is only sometimes true for you.

I stopped and thought about why the words wouldn’t be true. 

Then I heard; you have allowed a negative imagination about the people in your life to cause you to worry. You think the darkness of the world has more influence on the mindset of those people than the Holy Spirit. You believe they’re blind in different areas of their lives.

That’s been double-minded. You pray prayers of faith, asking for MY Spirit to stir in the hearts and draw them to me. Yet you have these imaginations authored by darkness to hang out in the subconsciousness of your mind. 

You have partnered with the lie. The lie that darkness is stronger than the Spirit that lives in you. How can this be my child? You’ve allowed this doubt and fear to elevate above my name. Do you believe that darkness can rise above your prayers? 

1 John 4:4 NLT

But you belong to God, my dear children.

You have already won a victory over those people (antichrist),

because the Spirit who lives in you

is greater than the Spirit who lives in the world.

Either you believe or you don’t. It would be best if you repented of this because a house divided cannot stand. 

Severe that cord of iniquity with your BLOOD-bought authority. Cut it off your children, and cut it off your grandchildren. It (negative imagination) will no longer be in your family line.

As I was processing this, I could imagine myself as a piece of fabric with many small fine threads sticking out. These tiny threads hanging out look innocent enough, but they destroy the fabric when they get pulled on. 

Threads in a fabric are often interconnected with one another, and when the liar tugs on those threads, the fabric becomes strained. In some cases, the thread may even break if pulled too hard. It makes me wonder, what if I am one of those threads in the Lord’s fabric? I wouldn’t want to cause undue pressure on the other threads by allowing the deceiver to pull on me.

I went before the Lord repented, renounced agreement with the liar, and cut off the lie in my subconscious. As I did this, I saw myself as soft cashmere, warm, inviting, and comfortable. Thank you, Lord, for showing me this today. 

So, do you entertain any evil Imagination against the people in your life?

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
