I had practiced positive thinking, but it was proven to be powerless in face of cruel reality.
On the surface, positive thinking is similar to words of faith Christianity, but it’s very different.
Positive thinking avoid convictions. It can’t repent, or admit wrong. Everything has to be positive, even if the elephant is in the room.
It’s legalistic, which makes you feel like you are doing something good but it isn’t. Positive thinking doesn’t deliver. Positive thinking isn’t back up by solid truth, which is powerful and unchanging. It makes you feel good, but feeling is nothing. You can feel what you want. You can feel like you can achieve anything, but the circumstance isn’t obligated to obey your feeling, nor your feeble belief.
Words of faith, however, can deliver in any circumstance, over any opposition. There are many evil circumstances and “negative” people on earth. We can never avoid all “negative energy”. With the words of God, whatever promise in the Bible you believe without doubt will deliver, and override any circumstance and verbal curse that people can ever utter. It delivers and produces regardless of what other people say or feel.
You don’t have to feel good. You don’t have to find something positive in everything to talk about or to be thankful for. You don’t have to visualize the future you want to create. You only have to agree with God’s words and disagree with anything that contradict it. Be thankful because God is going to bless you according to His words, not because of whatever evils that He “allowed” into your life. Satan is the one who steal, kill, and destroy, not God.
You keep believing, and keep rebuking anything that contradicts His words. You keep verbalize your faith and reaffirm you convictions, and then bloom, it will deliver.
And when it delivers, it feels unearthly. It feels distant. It feels like as though I was not the one who experienced what I just experienced. It feels like everything somehow worked according to what the words of God says it should work.
In fact, if I feel anything at all it might have been stress. I feel like I am such a broken, small vessel to contain the power of God. I feel like my flesh was so feeble that I couldn’t have achieved what I did achieve. I was simply dragged along by the perfect and miraculous power of His words. Even the drag feels too stretched for my inflexible self. I was so slow and clumsy, comparing with the power of God that is dragging me to a high level I cannot achieve in my own comfort zone and level of competence.
Words of faith is for militant, warrior, and conqueror. Such people are not afraid of the enemies. Positive thinking folks have to avoid negatives at all times. But the words of faith warrior confront the evil and dark world. Positive thinking try to think things into existence, but what they don’t know is ‘WHO’ is helping them to materialize their thought. They call it the universal power source, or supreme being. We call him Satan.
This world is filled with demons and Satanic angels. Unbelievers are under their manipulations. Only God or Satanic beings will ever make something out of nothing in this world. So if you are not with God, you are with Satan, and that’s what positive thinking is really powered by.
The problem is many Christian mixed word of faith with positive thinking, and cannot distinguish which one they are really practicing. Satan will be very happy to lend you a hand and materialize whatever you want to manifest, as long as he can pull you further and further into witchcraft. At least he will confuse you so you can’t practice the pure word of God if he can’t bribe you into his kingdom.
You might think that I learned the positive thinking before I entered the land of milk and honey in the realm of words of faith. No, I stumbled upon the principle of words of faith first, without knowing what it really was, but I got to experience some results, then I got confused by positive thinking and other empty teachings. I also get confused by people who didn’t really know what words of faith theology was, but tried to teach me how to meditate on God’s words and stuff. They wrote so many books for it too, which successfully wasted me so much time.
