The enthronement of Christ, to some believers, means a continuous exciting panacea. If you are not having that you are limiting God by your thoughts and are not crushing your emotions. This is how ‘Ashley __’ at X puts it, but X is down this morning. To be updated.

Christ’s being raised over all powers and authorities means your will not have car problems at the worst moment, it seems. Or if you do, it is your negativity. You are letting things ‘speak death.’

What is your Christian life like?
 
the post she put up is gone, but I hear the same thought from many sources.

Jesus said otherwise (Jn 15:18-21, 16:33).

The whole concept derives from a humanocentric POV. It's at best a misuse of scripture, exaggerating importance of one thing over other relevant scriptures. The mindset is self-deterministic, ignoring God's sovereignty, his 'decree' and God's way of things.

Indeed.

Don't forget to check the other topic, by a DM to me.
 
It's a form of Karma
Any condition that results from man's right thoughts, right actions is a form of Karma doctrine.
There are two very important refutations of Karma in the Bible.
1) East of Eden: Man is where man is and he is a helpless sinner. Right thinking and right doing does not materially affect his circumstances.
2) Book of Job: Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar contended that Job offended God by wrong thoughts and wrong actions. Job was innocent.

It is also preaching a form of works, as the work of having positive thoughts instead of negative thoughts is the key to better karma according to the OP.

0beying God's commandment (Mark 12:30) was a fulfillment of the love of God that enabled Job to endure the trials in East of Eden. Whatever Job did or did not do by deed or thought could not materially change his circumstances.

Bad thing happen to good people. IF a person can sit in the road in sack cloth and ashes, and say, "Guess what? I still really and truly do love God in all His Glory. Blessed be the name of the Lord" then that person is the most blessed and richest man because the only true treasure, the one prize beyond price is God and the Love of God." No matter what a man does or what toils a man endures.

Deuteronomy 13:3 - Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Any mention in the original X meme that Ashley was a Christian? If not then why heed a word of her post?

If so, then 1) how mature (in Christ) is Ashley, 2) it looks like she's been influenced by the liberal side of theology or even the secular Left*, and 3) it might have benefitted to ask her about the wording because "crush" could mean to flatten or destroy, or it could mean to own or completely succeed. I wonder what Ashley would think of @Eleanor's response :unsure:. Living the Christian life is quite possibly the hardest thing known to humanity. If it were easy then everyone would do it and no one would suffer judgement. Maybe Ashley is universalist 🤨.










* My recently married daughter came home from college informing me she wasn't going to have me escort her down the aisle because she did not want to participate in the handmaiden patriarchy. Yep. She changed her mind, but that's the kind of nonsense the Left teaches.
