The devil can never act outside a man's thought and he does that because he knows that as man thinks in his heart, so is he, so the devil will do everything to redirect a man's thought against true knowledge. Do not be ignorant of the devil's scheme, he can only have power over a man when such man's thoughts align into his. Once a man's thought aligns into the devil's, he seizes the opportunity and creeps in like the serpent to dwell on the ground of such man's thought to start romancing such man to accept the impression that he is impressing and the moment such man accepts, he will start thinking in that direction which will now make the devil to have control over his mindsets and this will eventually reflect in his lifestyle. Guide your heart with all diligence!
Actually like Hannah, Eve spoke in her heart and the devil caught the signal of the impulse of her thought, since it was not of God, it will definitely reach the source which is the devil (Proverbs 4: 23).
1 Samuel 1: 13
Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard. Therefore, Eli thought she was drunk.
The truth is, you can only guard your heart, when you have the peace of God that passes understanding which can only result from total obedience to the will of God in Christ Jesus the God we know.
Philippians 4: 6 (7)
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God and the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.
Hearts here simply typifies thoughts which are the very content of the heart, while mind here typifies will which is the very drive of the mind; therefore, the thought is the instruction that controls the will to determine our direction of flow in life. So the problem has always been with our anxiousness, which births our desire for things and makes us desperate for everything, when we are not supposed to, but being desperate for the things of God.
The devil will do anything to get at you....
What did the devils present first? Good and evil, evident as code 10: 10 which implies seeing evil through the eyes of good, painting it as if it is good, but in reality the eye is never good, because the content of the eyes is actually evil when we see not through God's eyes. Why did I say evil and good? I.e. 01: 01 because his wiles will be exposed by the Word of God in the light (John 1: 10 who will absolutely counter all of the devil's strategies and disarm him in the light of the true knowledge of the world of God, having created the world, He knows all things, even from the very beginning (John 1: 2), He will expose any evil, even as it is been exposed in the light (John 1: 5), so even when the devil will try hiding still in the dark, the sons of God will arise and shine (Isaiah 60: 1) and expose him in the light of their manifestation, revealing the true person of Christ Jesus as God (Romans 8: 19) and all of the devil's deceptive codes will be exposed, such that he will be left with the only option to possess a man and literally come out as Anti-Christ with the code 666, which simply mean, a man with triple power, one short of four which is the code number of evil, and this simply means, this man will be possessed by the devil himself.
Jesus became code 6 to rescue man in his senses to the reality of the identity 7, where man will functions as living spirit since he had possessed the life giving spirit of God, to thwart all the orchestration of the devil who will present himself as code 3, one short of his original identity (code 4), to cause utter destruction to man who could not travel to access code 7 in light. All the sons of God who will manifest in this fullness of time will function in the dimension of God (code 7), which implies, they will fight from rest and the rest is the peace of God in their heart, which is the assurance of the Father's love as revealed in the reality call code Romans 8: 18- 39
Roman 8: 19- 28
For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. for the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. Not only that, but we ourselves groans within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance. Likewise, the spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
