    1 Work can be idolatry

    Self is idolatry.

    Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15

    I noticed that whenever I get too passionate about my work, I lost my soul balance and spent less time praying and ministering to God. Even what seems good can become evil whenever it takes away our time with the Lord.

    This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t go to work(1 Thessalonians 3:7-9), but rather ask, is work becoming a more important priority than my time with God? Ask Jesus how you should go about it.

    2 We Need to Filter Our Thoughts

    The media (drama series, movies, news, propaganda, etc), sales people, colleagues, bosses most of the times uses a form of manipulation to influence our emotions. Even friends and acquaintances do it consciously and unconsciously.

    In fact, spiritual entities are thought givers. The Holy Spirit is a thought giver and speaks through a still small voice.

    and after the earthquake a fire; but Jehovah was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. 

    1 Kings 19:12

    Just as God can speak to us in any way possible, so can the devil. The devil can speak to us through images in our mind or in our own voice just like God can. Remember, the devil is a roaring lion.

    Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour,  1 Peter 5:8

    Have you ever experience unusually good thoughts? The type of thoughts you don’t usually think of? Chances are, it’s from the Lord.

    As an example, I don’t usually quote bible verses out to people. Yet oftentimes, when comforting someone, I becoming surprisingly able to quote out so many bible verses out to help those in need of it. That’s the Holy Spirit.

    Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

    James 1:17

    This is why we must constantly renew our minds with the WORD of God.

    Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

    John 17:17

    The Holy Spirit uses the word to remind us of God’s Truth. While He is not limited to bible verses. It’s one of the easiest way to discern the voice speaking to us is from the Holy Spirit. Reading the word is one way of spending time with God. Remember, Jesus is the Word.

    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    John 1:1

    As a side note: the devil can and will use the word of God as a form of weapon to condemn or to deceive, so don’t be ignorant of his devices.

    I’m sure there are times you’ve experience so much negative thoughts and emotions that it feels overwhelming. There’s a high chance that it’s from the devil. You have the power to rebuke it in the authority Jesus gave you, which is His Name.

    Some other notes:

    "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23

    Ask the Lord to guide you on what to feed your mind.

    3 Biblical Servant isn’t Enslavement

    A lot of people criticized the God of the Old Testament, our God as barbaric, and accusing God of encouraging slavery. May this information serve as something we can use to defend of our God given the opportunity.

    but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 1 Peter 3:15

    The term slaves and servant has a negative connotation to it. It usually means the owner could do anything as he pleases. But slaves in Israel have far more freedom than this. If you read the old testament, Jewish slaves are eventually to be set freed. Slaves were either people who got bankrupt or prisoners who committed crime. It’s a form of protection to allow people in poverty to survive during the Old Testament times.

    Reference: Exodus 21,  Leviticus 19, 22, 25, Deuteronomy 5, 15, 16, 21, 23, 24

    Other readings: Demonbusters website about slaves

    PS We don't necessarily need to agree with everything they've said in their website, but we need to respect the anointing God placed on them. We see in part, know in part, so do they. You can always seek confirmation from the Lord if you should continue feeding information from them or if they are incorrect. You can also pray for God
