Good point. It is mind programming plain and simple. If you tell yourself something over, and over, and over again, eventually you may come to believe it.
Thank the Lord, that my mind and emotions could not be fooled. He led me to green pastures, He walks beside me, He restores me. The Lord is my shepherd, not the Godhead, not the Prophet. He sent me the Bible so I could know Him.
Rom. 1:
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Col. 2:
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
