CONFESSION OF A SOUND MIND “Words of Light upon the Face of Craftiness, Fear, Pride, Subtlety, Trouble, and Spiritual Warfare Tactics” By Jasmine Williams My enemy is subtle and crafty. In the morning dream, the enemy came after me although it appeared that he came for someone else. He did not seemingly look my way, yet I was the target. The fight that I observed in the dream was staged. All of the spirits were on the same team although they made it appear that they were opponents. The Lord has opened my understanding by this dream. A crafty enemy will use this tactic against me. God told me aforetime and I know of a truth that this crafty enemy is already defeated. I cannot defeat him with spiritual warfare tactics sent forth by the enemy himself; therefore, I do not look to the methods of the worldly religions to find a strategy to fight this foe. I look to Jesus, for the battle is his and not mine. I have hidden myself in Christ; therefore, I will not be entangled in this war that is staged to draw me into a cold war with spirits that I do not need to fight. I leave the fight to the Lord. I will continue to pray without ceasing, and worship with all my heart, and go on to minister. I do not fear the evil one. Whether he comes as a serpent, a dog, a bear, or some other strange creature is not important to God. The Lord has all power, and he has already conquered all of these foes. All things are under his feet; therefore, all these things are under my feet because I am baptized into Christ and have put on his name. By grace I will not come out of truth, which is my hiding place. Jesus is the truth, my hiding place, and he will preserve me from trouble and subtlety. He will compass me about with songs of deliverance and instruct me. He is teaching me the right way to journey and continually guiding me. I trust God’s eyes and not my own. I will not lean to my own understanding, neither to the understanding of false religion; therefore, I will not place myself in the path of my enemies. I trust in the Lord and therefore, his mercy compasses about me. He is my continual refuge in times of trouble. He will never forsake those who place their trust in him. God knew of the trouble that would come before it came. He knew the strategy of trouble before it came. He sent mercy to lift me up out of the net of its wiles. For this I show forth praise, for Christ has delivered me by the hand of salvation. By God’s own hand, he hid me in his pavilion. In the secret of his tabernacle, he has hidden me and set me upon a rock. My head is now lifted above my enemies round about me, as I offer in his tabernacle the sacrifices of joy, I sing praises unto the Lord my God. My enemy, condemnation, waited to see if Christ would put me away in anger, but he has foiled his strategy, for he did not hide his face from me. The Lord has not left me. He is my help, and he will not leave me, neither will he forsake me. Jesus is the God of my salvation. His love is greater than the love of a father and a mother. I have gone forth and am instructed by Christ. He is leading me in a plain path because of my enemies. Though false witnesses have risen up against me, Jesus will not deliver me over to their will. The goodness of God has followed me. I am of good courage with a strong heart. I am not a stranger to the covenants of promise. I am an heir to this hiding place. God has hidden me in the secret of his presence. The pride of men cannot find me here. The strife of tongues will not find me in the secret of God’s pavilion. In this secret place, he has shown me his marvelous kindness in a strong, hidden city. I rest in his hiding place. He has granted me strength for my heart. I will continue to hope in God’s word and promises to me. He is my shield and my hiding place. I came to the Lord. He is my God, and he has quickened me for his names sake. By virtue of his righteousness and his mercy, he has cut off these enemies and sent the destroying blow of his right hand against those who intended to afflict and destroy my soul. I am raised with Christ, so I am seeking the things that are above. I have set my affection on things above, not on things on the earth. I am dead, and my life is hid with Christ in God. I am worshipping and rejoicing in the hiding place of God Almighty.
