(Isa. 55:8-9) God commands us to model our thoughts after Him. Our thoughts are to be abandoned unless they are in harmony with His. No matter how we feel or what we think, God's word and commandments must transform our ways, habits, and practices and direct and guide us. We must not blend our ideas with His since doing so would taint God's truth. God's words are pure and cannot be contaminated by sensual ideas. (Rom. 8:28-29; John 14:21) God enters and intervenes in our lives and into our circumstances when we think and act in accordance with His will. Whether the issue was started by us or someone else, if we react in accordance with God's will, He will make things work in our favor. When required, the Holy Spirit will manifest Himself by imparting a profound sense of His love and concern, assisting and providing confidence, forgiveness, and assurance, as well as any other assistance the believer may require. The devil exclusively uses the carnal, which is humanly common, (1 Cor. 10:13; Eph. 6:10-12), whereas we are spiritual beings. We don't fight him with reason, willpower, or material objects since our weapons are spiritual and powerful enough to overthrow the enemy's strongholds. As a result, we put our trust and faith in God, who we turn to when we are tempted. We will be saved by God. He is our God, our fortress, and our reassurance. He is the one who exorcizes the demons from us (Ps. 91:1-3).
