Looking Unto Christ In Every Thought: Defeating Fear, Doubt & Discouragement

by Dennis R Deaton

For all who earnestly seek to accept the Lord Jesus Christ’s loving invitation to “Come unto Me and partake of the fruit of the tree of life,” there is tremendous need for us to understand how literally and directly the adversary is endeavoring to defeat our discipleship by tampering with our thoughts. Cunningly disguised as our own mental processes, Satan’s meddlings go way beyond what most people recognize as temptations. Thoughts that tear down our sense of worth and worthiness, undermine our hope and confidence, foster grudges and negative feelings towards others, and fill us with fear, doubt and discouragement are also of satanic origin.

The biggest lies you will ever hear are in your head, masquerading as your own thoughts. Unfortunately, most people do not recognize these intrusions for what they actually are nor where they’re coming from. As a result, many of us berate ourselves for the negative states of mind that derail our devotion and weaken our faith, and therefore needlessly struggle to dispel them.

Pointedly, we can’t win the battle if we’re fighting the wrong foe.

Loved this book! Some very powerful truths! That negative voice in my head that tells me I’m not good enough is actually Satan - Something I already knew, but it finally clicked in a different way - I had lots of “a-ha” moments throughout this book! Loved it!

This was an impactful book on me. The section about the voice of Satan and defeating him was especially powerful and insightful. The last chapter was super motivating as well. Looking to read it again.

I recommended this book to several friends as I was reading it. I learned so much about the power of both good and evil to influence our thoughts. The chapter on faith as a choice was life altering. There were many personal stories shared along with doctrine and sound principles.
