Confusion is a tool the enemy uses to derail us from living the life God ordained for us. He uses it to plant uncertainty and deter us from the path we’re meant to follow. Feelings of confusion and bewilderment originate in the mind when you perpetually ponder the same situation and are unable to settle on a viable solution.  

The spirit of confusion uses an issue you’ve been dealing with for a lengthy period to press into you, trying to pulverize your mind until you break into thinking the way it desires you to. Once it gets your agreement, you will begin to operate in accordance with it,  which will then give it control over your actions and behaviours.

The truth is, you do have a choice. You do not have to give in to confusion. We have the almighty God, the ruler of rulers, the mighty one who fathers us. He has given us tools to thwart the enemy’s darts. We are not left defenseless when it comes to attacks of the mind.

God has not given us confusion because it cannot come from him . God never authors confusion. Therefore, he is not the one behind your perplexity; your enemy is. God is orderly and desires structure and peace for your life. He is, after all, the prince of peace, and this is what He provides to you: a peace of mind that settles when we walk in the path He has laid out for us.

Along with this, He’s given us other weapons- prayer, joy, reading, and applying God’s word, to name a few. This is how we get our strength, for his word builds our spirit. Joy builds strength, and prayer connects us with Him. It also demolishes every thought pattern that is incongruent with his word and path for our lives. In addition, prayer provides direction for our lives.

The Holy Spirit wants to set you ablaze; He is burning things in your life that have deceived and harmed you for far too long. He is burning out deception, a core ingredient needed for confusion. May the Holy Spirit burn away the things that are confusing, deceiving, and embattling you. May His fire burn and purify you as you continue to conform to the image of Jesus.

​May He give you discernment so you can see clearly and ears to hear where the Holy Spirit is leading you.

Warmly,

Nayanda
