Confusion comes about whenever you are not thinking as clearly as you should be, and there is so much confusion in this world today. People are confused about life, death, jobs, finances, what decisions they should make and so much more; but more than anything else, they are confused about the things of God. They are confused about God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. They are confused about the Word of God as well as His miracles and healings. They are confused about holy living and about Heaven and hell. They are confused about all the promises of God, and that is not what God wants for people.

When you are in a state of confusion, things become all mixed up in your mind; and your life falls into disorder. God cannot work with a confused mind, so He can’t help you when you need Him to; but the Lord and the Word can get rid of all the confusion if you allow them to. The Word says, For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints (I Corinthians 14:33). When you yield 100 percent to the Word and live holy in God’s presence, He will take away all your confusion.

When you are confused about anything per-taining to God, you don’t think right or believe right. Then you don’t pray right or walk with the Lord as you should, so you don’t know which way to go or what decisions you should make. The Holy Spirit can’t direct you when you’re in a state of confusion.

Confusion brings fear and doubt; but the Bible says, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7). The Lord has the power and the love to clear out all the confusion and fear and give you a sound mind, and God wills that kind of mind to each child of God.

Know and Use the Truth

God is the author of peace, and that divine peace destroys confusion when you allow it to reign in your heart and mind every day. Jesus is the Prince of Peace; and when He is in your heart, you will have His peace no matter what you are facing.

Jesus told the disciples, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). When you’re in a troubled state, it’s because there is confusion in your mind. So when something happens that you don’t expect or understand, take it to the Word of God. Depend on the Lord, and His light will shine on your way and make plain paths for your feet.

Jesus said, Know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). God’s truth destroys all confusion; so if you are confused in any way today, it’s because you’re not using the truth. Notice I didn’t say you don’t have the truth, but you are not using it.

Jesus also said, I am the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). He came into a world of sin to bring people out of their confusion, so why are you still living with it? Can the devil shake your faith and your experiences with God? If so, there is confusion in your life somewhere that is opening loopholes in your mind for him to get in to you.

Have No Doubt and Fear

Many people are confused when it comes to prayer. They get desperate when things go wrong, and they become beggars in the presence of God. The Lord said, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened (Matthew 7:7,8). That says we are to ask, not beg. Begging puts you in a state of doubt, and doubt takes away your clear mind.

The Bible says, Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth [doubts] is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord (James 1:6,7). God can’t do anything with you when you doubt.

If you are a child of God today, there is no confusion in your soul; so why do you allow it in your mind? If you will let the Holy Spirit flow the truth that’s in your soul into your mind, it will clear your mind and fill it with the love of God.

Divine love destroys fear and confusion. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love (I John 4:18). There are so many things that can cause confusion in your mind—stress, sickness, fear, anger, grief and the list goes on. That’s why today, hospitals and mental institutions are filled with people whose minds are full of confusion; and God is their only hope of complete deliverance.

Many people think that when a person gets old, they automatically become confused; but that isn’t what the Bible tells us. It says, Bless the LORD, O my soul...Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's (Psalm 103:2,5). If you are getting up in years, never bow to confusion. The Word gives you everything you need on your journey from Earth to Glory.

Confusion Comes from the Devil

Legion was possessed with many, many devils, and they filled him with so much confusion. He was confused in his soul and in his mind, and he was wild. Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones (Mark 5:3-5).

Many people may have thought there was no hope for Legion, but Jesus set him free. When people came to see what had happened, they saw Legion sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind (Mark 5:15). Just think about how shocked they must have been.

If you are in a state of confusion today, you’re a captive of the devil; and he can make you think so many things that are not true. He will confuse your mind and make you think that God loves everybody else better than He loves you when the Bible says, God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son (John 3:16).

The devil will make you think you can’t have a miracle or a healing from the Lord and even make you resent those who do receive; but the Bible tells us that when Jesus was on Earth, He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people (Matthew 4:23). Jesus is still the same as He was then. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). And He is still performing miracles today.

Confusion comes from the devil, not from God. Divine love will clear up all confusion in your life if you will allow it to, but you have to let that love flow like mighty rivers straight from the throne of God.

Confusion Entered the Church

There was no confusion in the Early Church. Jesus didn’t have any, and He cleared it all out for the disciples as well. The devil tried to bring confusion into the Church at one time, but the Lord killed it out in a hurry. So for the first thirty-three years of the Early Church, His followers were free as long as they lived holy and stayed consecrated to God. The Bride will remain holy, consecrated to the Lord and free of confusion as well.

Later, the Early Church disciples began to let up on their consecration to the Lord, and confusion did enter into the Church. That’s when the churches started to lose their power with God, and they began compromising with the world. The Bible describes them as having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:5).

God gives each of His children a sound mind, but you have to accept it and take care of it. With that sound mind comes the power of God, the love of God and the greatness of God. Then you will have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.

The Bible tells us, For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work (James 3:16). If you carry envy in your heart against anyone, that brings in the spirit of confusion. If there is strife in your home, there is confusion in your home. Then you will sow seeds of even more confusion.

The Lord works with good, sensible minds, minds full of His power and love, minds without confusion. If you have the power of the Holy Ghost and Heaven’s love working in your life daily, there is no reason for any confusion; and don’t let the devil make you think otherwise.

Have God’s Vision

Many people are confused about the coming of the Lord, and they’re not looking for Jesus to come; but He said, For in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:44). The harvest of souls is ripe for harvest, yet so many Christians live in such a confused state that the Holy Spirit can’t give them the visions of the harvest they need so they will be willing to sacrifice to bring it in.

True members of the Bride of Christ have the correct vision of the harvest because they don’t walk in confusion. They walk in a state of purity, love and power; and that gives them clear minds. They walk in divine gentleness and kindness and everything else the Lord spoke about. The Bible says, The fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace (James 3:18). You must be a sower of righteousness and peace.

When God made Adam and Eve, He made them without confusion; and He made them to live in His power. They had power over the devil and anything he would try to bring against them. They had the truth and all the protection they needed. They had God, His faith, His love and His peace.

So where did Eve’s confusion come from? The devil is the one who confused Eve, but she opened her mind to it. She stopped to listen to Him, and that was her first mistake. You can’t be confused by the devil unless you give him space in your mind, so you must never listen to the devil or allow Him to twist God’s truths in your mind. That’s what God’s power is for.

Look to the Lord

Have you ever gone to someone’s house that was such a mess you wondered how they could ever find anything there? Well, the spiritual house of some Christians looks the same way, and that’s why they don’t get anywhere with God. You have to be a good spiritual housekeeper in this last hour and let the Holy Spirit be your inspector. He knows how to spot any confusion that might be there, and He knows what you should do to get rid of it.

When you find yourself in a state of confusion, you need to shut down, go to your prayer closet and leave the devil outside. Cover the threshold with the blood and dare him to cross it. He won’t because he’s afraid of the blood.

Once you are safely inside, humble yourself before the Lord and say, “Lord, here I am to be delivered.” The prayer closet is the delivery room, and you can be delivered of anything. Then make sure you don’t walk out with any confusion.

The Prophet Isaiah said, For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded [or confused] (Isaiah 50:7). Some of you are confused in your mind because you won’t let the Lord help you. You’ve been looking to people to help you, and all you’re getting is a bunch of opinions. Then your mind is just one jumbled up mess.

Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed (Isaiah 50:7). You have to set your face like flint in the power of God. You must be like a rock that can’t be moved by the devil and decide nothing can make you take your eyes off of the Lord. Your eyes must always remain upon the One who gives life. You must be focused on the truth and not on the devil’s lies and deceit.

Let God Lead You

So many people, and even many Christians, walk in confusion every day, and they don’t really know where they are headed or what they’re going to do about the problems they are facing. They’re afraid of today and afraid of tomorrow. They’re afraid of sickness and afraid of death. They need to focus on Jesus and get rid of all the confusion in their minds. He’s the Rock of Ages, and the One who can lead them on plain paths. Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path (Psalm 27:11).

The Bible says, Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6). When you lean to your own understanding, you go into confusion; but when you lean to God’s understanding, you will come out of confusion because you’re leaning on His truth, His wisdom and His thoughts. You’re letting Him move for you and through you to help others.

Sadly, some people don’t know whether they even have a soul or not. They don’t know much about God or that He made man and woman in the first place. They don’t know about salvation or what it means to have God’s power, love and grace. They don’t know the difference between human love and God’s love, human power and God’s power.

A lot of people go to church, but they don’t know the first thing about a born-again experience just as Nicodemus didn’t. He was a well-educated man and a ruler of the Jews; yet he asked Jesus, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born (John 3:4)? He was so confused, but Jesus got rid of all the confusion when He gave Nicodemus the truth: Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (John 3:5). Jesus cured a lot of people of their confusion when He was on Earth.

Tribulation Will Come

Do you get confused when times get hard? Jesus said, In the world ye shall have tribulation (John 16:33). That is a promise of God, and He never made one promise that had any contamination of confusion. But along with that promise of trials comes a promise of deliverance. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him (Psalm 91:15). To receive that deliverance, you have to know how to deal with trials God’s way.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy (I Peter 4:12,13). You will never have joy in the middle of a trial with any confusion in your mind, yet some of you get confused when you are in a valley and think God doesn’t really love you or care about you.

The truth is that you are in that valley because God does care about you, and He is trusting you to carry His light through that valley. Being in a valley with the Lord is much better than being on a mountaintop with no God because those mountaintop experiences always come to an end at some time or another, and then where would you be? God promises victory at the end of each valley. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:57). Without the Lord, there is no lasting victory.

The Hebrew boys’ valley led them into the fiery furnace, but God didn’t allow even one hair on their heads to get singed. Daniel’s valley led him into the lions’ den, but they couldn’t hurt him. Wouldn’t you rather be in the fiery furnace or the lions’ den with the Lord than to be outside with the devil’s crowd? There is no guarantee of anything in that crowd.

You Are Blessed

When you live for God, you will be persecuted. Jesus said, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:10). Jesus also said, Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you (Matthew 5:12).

The devil will try to confuse you and say you are not blessed, but God says you are. Who are you going to believe—a liar or the Giver of Life? Being blessed doesn’t mean you will never have any troubles, but it does mean God will always be with you and bless you in the end. Jesus said your reward would be great.

You have to get out of your confused state and decide that the Lord loves you just as much when you are in a valley as He does when you are on the mountaintop. When Heaven and Earth pass away, He will still love you; and you will be greatly blessed. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words [the Word of God] shall not pass away (Matthew 24:35). The Word of God is truth, so hold on to that truth.

People may wonder why God’s children are so happy. It’s because we are not confused; we’re blessed. We’re flying high in the strength of the Lord on His wings of love, faith and grace. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). You must always know without a doubt that confusion is not of God and decide, “This is not God’s will for me, so I am coming out.”

Seek Godly Wisdom

The Bible says, If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5). Some people are confused because they have no wisdom or knowledge of God to use. You can’t just know the things of God; you must have the divine wisdom to be able to use that knowledge God’s way.

Knowledge can become destructive if you don’t use it right, but some people will find themselves facing that very thing and then blame God for it. It’s not God’s fault; it’s their fault. If they use their knowledge the wrong way, they will fall into confusion and remain there until they are willing to see themselves as God sees them. He knows the heart of every person. For he [God] knoweth the secrets of the heart (Psalm 44:21).

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy (James 3:17). Wisdom that is from Above has no envy, strife or confusion. It’s pure and not contaminated with anything unlike God. It’s full of peace and gentleness, and it accepts the discipline of the Holy Spirit. It’s full of mercy and good fruits, and it is without partiality. If you want to be like Jesus, you have to embrace that kind of wisdom.

So many children don’t have any wisdom of God because our governments have taken the Bible out of the schools, and there is very little God in many homes today. We are raising a generation of confused children, and many of them don’t even have two parents in their home. These children have no one to turn to with their trials and troubles, so they shut themselves away with their phones and computers and get into all kinds of ungodly things. They know nothing about the power of God, so they are easy victims for the devil. He possesses them, and they become his instruments. We have never had so many killings and so much gun violence as we have today.

Take God’s Thoughts

Cast thy burden [and all confusion] upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (Psalm 55:22). Are you really casting your burdens on the Lord, or are you holding on to some of them because you want things a certain way? If you want God to solve your problems your way, then you are confused. In that state, you will read the Word and not get anything out of it that God wants you to have.

God wants you to get His thoughts out of the Word. He wants you to get Him, Jesus and the Holy Spirit out of the Word. He wants to fill you with His wisdom and knowledge, His promises, His faith, His love and so much more. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6).

The Lord knows how to take a life that is full of confusion and on the brink of destruction and put everything in order. He knows how to deliver people from all kinds of bondages and fill them with His living waters of divine truth, divine love, divine peace and perfect trust in Him. He knows how to calm their storms and roll away the stones in their lives.

The Bible says, The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake (Psalm 23:1-3). Those are beautiful promises of God.

The Bible also promised, For he [God] hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5). You will never be alone when you get rid of all the confusion and let God be the Lord of your life. Get rid of every thought that is hindering and destroying you and think on the things God wants you to think on. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

Fill your mind with the good things of God. You can always remember when someone promises you a good sum of money, so why can’t you remember the good things of God? Give yourself completely over to the Spirit of the Lord and declare, “I’m all right!” Then never look back.

You Can Be Free

You don’t need to be confused about the past, the present or the future because the Bible says, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). Jesus knows about all of it, so just put things in His hands. The Lord said you are to trust Him, and that’s the way you’ll come out of confusion.

God said, Come now, and let us reason together (Isaiah 1:18). You can’t reason with the Lord in confusion because He only reasons with pure truth. When you spend quality time with the Lord, He will clear your mind of confusion. Then He can instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go (Psalm 32:8). Hide that promise in your heart.

If are living in a state of confusion today, know it is not God’s will for you. He wants to set you free, and you can be free by giving your life to Him. Raise your hand toward Heaven and say the sinner’s prayer with me now. Say, Oh, God. Save my soul. I am so sorry I have sinned against you, but I have come home; and I’m going to serve you for the rest of my life. I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus. Come on in. Amen.

Now you can say, “Hallelujah! Jesus has come. Hallelujah! Jesus is mine.” Start walking with the Lord and move into His will. You’ll find great peace, joy and contentment in the midst of a dark, restless world. Then you can say as Paul did, For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content (Philippians 4:11). When Paul became a new creature in Christ, he learned how to get rid of all confusion and be content no matter what was going on around him. He was persecuted so much, but he was always content in the Lord.

Receive a Miracle

Is your mind confused about miracles and healings? When Jesus was on Earth, He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people (Matthew 4:23). And the Lord is still healing people today. Thousands have received miracles and healings all over the world through this Jesus ministry, and you can receive whatever you need today.

Give the Lord a chance and let Him cleanse you of your cancer, diabetes, heart trouble, blindness, deafness, paralysis or whatever else may be afflicting you today. Those things do not come from the Lord. The Bible says, Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights (James 1:17). So get ready to be healed right now.

Lord, I bring the sick and afflicted to you today. Deliver them and set them free right now in the holy name of the Lord. Oh, God, heal the people today and give them life. Heal them of all manner of sicknesses and diseases in the all-powerful name of the Lord. Heal, in the holy name of Jesus. Amen.

Let that power flow into you through faith in the living Christ and watch yourself get well. Then email or post a message to one of our social media pages to let us know what God has done for you. God bless you today.
