There is a third step which must be applied, after taking these first two steps. That step has to do with following Jesus's example as he went into the wilderness, fasted and took authority over the Devil. I call this deliverance and every Christian needs some type of deliverance. Frankly, I know very few Christians, who have humbled themselves enough to actively seek this deliverance process to the fullest extent possible, leaving strongholds of the mind to plague them throughout their entire lives, to some degree.        

     Finally, I would never promote a life shaped by religion (Act. 26:5) or worldly "do's and don'ts" (Phl 3:4-10), but rather one shaped by an ever-deepening relationship with the God of everything, through the anointing and guidance of The Holy Spirit. The answers to life's problems is never "one size fits all" but the way to obtain those answers is. People who choose to do, what I have briefly described to do here, in these two steps, will always obtain the correct answers, and those who don't, won't. It’s just that simple. As these steps are put into play, the landscape around a person's life will increasingly become an environment of more and more light and hope. Obstacles, which once overwhelmed us, will become much easier to navigate. (Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.) Many past challenges disappear altogether. Yes, thoughts lead to actions (Pro. 16:25) (Pro. 19:21). Godly thoughts infused into a believer's mind by the anointing of The Holy Spirit produce Godly actions. All other thoughts produce actions, which may seem to work well at first, but eventually unravel, usually revealing their destructive consequences, when we are at our weakest. The bottom line is this. Human beings, within themselves, do not possess the ability to tell the difference between the right or wrong course in life, either individually or corporately. To navigate this life successfully, we need God in our spirit and His Holy Spirit in our mind. God inspired thoughts not only produce the best solutions, but they produce the most satisfying solutions. As we continue in the counsel of The Holy Spirit, these eternal solutions produce enlightened consequences, which outlive our natural lives. They build a legacy, which provides enlightenment and hope for those who follow after us. Without taking these three steps, however, that enlightened legacy will be diminished accordingly. Here is the truth. Many people are not going to do what I have described needs to be done here. (Mat. 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:) I hope some who read this will, because what I have briefly written about here are the most imperative truths, to be acted upon, that will ever be read on the internet, or anywhere else, for that matter.
