AM: I’m frustrated with myself.. 

Betty: What you do Honey bunch is say, “Lord, help me to get somewhere with my inner critic.” You look at things in your life and realize they’re there in order to give themselves up. Your joy is that you found them, and you lift them up, and give them to Jesus. You need Jesus’ help. That’s the difference between you and I. I move on to Jesus, where you just sit there and waddle in whatever misery you happen to find yourself into. 

AM: I’ve been praying for some things for so long, but they don’t get answered. My prayers work when I pray for other people, but not when I pray for myself.

Betty: Okay, take that sulphur smell, and take authority over those thoughts. Those thoughts that you expressed come out of your mouth smelling like sulphur. I don’t think Satan himself could give a better expression than you do. It’s time to give up going over into Hellish thoughts. They don’t help you at all. They add to your suffering. So, ask the Lord for the gift to recognize as soon as that Hellish thought forms in your mind. Just throw it over to the cross. Take authority in Jesus’ name. Refuse the mouth of Hell. You really don’t have to suffer the way you’re suffering. If it’d be a client that came to you and expressed that very thought you expressed to me, I bet right away you’d smell the sulphur. 

You gotta learn to recognize when you’re chewing on a Hellish product. It’s not nutritionally good for you. Some people accuse me of eating junk food. They haven’t met my niece. She knows how to eat some real junk food. Why don’t you give the Lord permission to open the doors deep within you, and ask Him to take His holy angels and empty the place of anything of Hell, anywhere that Hell has planted thought patterns, feeling patterns, attitudes, images, you name it? Can you say, “In Jesus name, I rebuke and bind the Hellish thoughts, feelings, and images that are straight from the mouth of Hell. I’m sorry that I ever welcomed you into my life. In Jesus name, I bind and rebuke you and command you to leave me and never return. Lord, give me the common sense to never invite Satan back with all his hellish suggestions on how to be more miserable.” 

Honey, you should have better things to do with you time then engage in that kind of thought patterning So, you need to cry out to the Lord to really continue that cleansing and to break you of the bad habit that gets you started in that stuff. You might argue that depression is part of it, but I don’t know. Sometimes I wonder if we’re not going to find out in Eternity that the depression could have been helped if we let the Lord show us how to break some bad habit patterns. Because some of this just smells like a bad habit. Can you say, “Lord, You understand the mystery of the unconscious. I don’t know where all of this patterning started with me, but You do. I’m asking for a miracle. I’m asking that you come into my heart today, and set me free of the need to go into places like I’ve been in. Help me to accept any strength at all that You have given us in our faith to fight depression. Give me hope, since I tend to keep losing my hope. Do within me that which I’ve been unable to do.

Do you find yourself chewing on any hellish thoughts? Can you say, “In Jesus name, I rebuke and bind the Hellish thoughts, feelings, and images that are straight from the mouth of Hell. I’m sorry that I ever welcomed you into my life. In Jesus name, I bind and rebuke you and command you to leave me and never return. Lord, give me the common sense to never invite Satan back with all his hellish suggestions on how to be more miserable.”
