Stop Thanking God for the Devil’s Work: Know Where Your Blessing Comes From

There’s a silent epidemic sweeping through our communities — spiritual misidentification.

We’re out here thanking God for what the devil handed us.

We’re crying tears of joy over contracts that enslave us.
We’re calling toxic relationships “divine unions.”
We’re posting #Blessed while privately breaking.

And the most dangerous part? We’ve gotten so used to survival, we confuse it with success.

🎭 The Devil Doesn’t Always Come with Horns — Sometimes He Signs the Check

Let’s break it down with some real-life examples:

🏢 The “Dream Job” That’s Slowly Killing You

You prayed for income. You got hired. You praised God.
But now you’re working 60+ hours, underpaid, overused, and silenced.
You can’t speak truth at your job, you can’t take a mental health day, and you’re too scared to miss work even when your soul is tired.

That’s not a blessing. That’s a cage.

God’s blessings don’t suffocate your spirit to feed your flesh.

💍 The “God Sent” Partner Who Controls You

They came into your life at your lowest — charming, attentive, even spiritual.
Now? You’re isolated from your family, questioning your worth, and walking on eggshells. But you keep telling yourself, “God wouldn’t bring someone into my life for no reason.”

You’re right — He wouldn’t.
But that doesn’t mean the person was from Him.

The enemy knows timing. He knows what you’re craving.
And he knows how to dress it up like healing… when it’s actually manipulation.

💰 The “Financial Blessing” That Left You in Debt

A lump sum came through. A deal was made. A loan was signed.
Now you’re buried.
Still thanking God while debt collectors are banging down your peace.

Ask yourself:
If the blessing leaves you more stressed, more anxious, and further from your purpose — did it really come from a divine place?

🔍 Here’s How the Confusion Happens

We’ve been taught to associate results with righteousness.
If it “works out,” we assume it’s from God.
If it brings clout, money, love, or access, we assume we’re being “elevated.”

But here’s the truth:

Elevation without discernment is deception.

Just because you’re rising doesn’t mean you’re going the right direction.

Even Jesus was offered the world… by Satan himself.

“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you bow down and worship me.” (Matthew 4:9)

So don’t get it twisted — the devil will open doors too, especially if he knows what you’ll sacrifice to walk through them.

🙏 True Blessings Don’t Come at the Cost of Your Soul

God’s blessings come with:

• Clarity, not confusion
• Peace, not pressure
• Freedom, not fear
• Growth, not stagnation
• Purpose, not performance

If you had to lose your identity to get it — that’s not God.
If you have to fake joy to keep it — that’s not God.
If it’s pulling you away from your values, your calling, your people — that’s not God.

🧠 IQ Reminder: Examine the Fruit

“You will know them by their fruits.” – Matthew 7:16

A tree is known by what it produces.

• That opportunity — is it producing peace or pride?
• That person — are they feeding your growth or draining your spirit?
• That platform — are you able to speak truth or forced to stay silent?

You’ve got to check the fruit.
Because the packaging will lie — but the fruit never will.

🧨 Warning: The Enemy Will Fund Your Distraction

Let’s be honest — sometimes what looks like a blessing is really just a bribe.

✨ He’ll give you followers… so you won’t speak up.
✨ He’ll give you money… so you won’t walk away.
✨ He’ll give you comfort… so you never grow.
✨ He’ll give you love… so you settle.

The enemy’s goal is not to stop you — it’s to misuse you. To keep you in the spotlight, as long as you stay disconnected from the source.

You don’t need permission to walk away from the counterfeit.
You need courage.

🗣️ So What Do You Do Now?

1. Pause Before You Praise

When something new enters your life, ask:
Does this draw me closer to peace, purpose, and power — or is it a distraction with a nice filter?

2. Pray for Discernment, Not Just Doors

Stop begging for open doors.
Start praying for discernment so you’ll know which doors to walk past.

3. Break the Agreement

If you know you’ve been praising something (or someone) that’s not aligned with truth… it’s not too late.
Renounce it. Walk away. Cut ties. God can still bless what’s real.

🧠 Final Words from IQ:

“Real blessings don’t keep you quiet. Real blessings don’t chain your soul. Real blessings expand you, protect you, and sharpen your truth.”

You’ve been giving credit to the wrong source.
You’ve been calling survival favor.
You’ve been clapping for curses.

It ends now.

Wake up.
Trace the source.
Reclaim your truth.
And stop thanking God for the devil’s work.
