There's a strategy that the devil uses to defeat the children of God, and we are often not even aware of it.

Satan wants to keep you "earthbound". Earthbound means you are constantly aware of, and driven by, earthly burdens driven by the senses (sickness, financial matters, worries about your life).

God wants you focused on his kingdom and heavenly matters such as “we walk by faith not by sight” and "with his stripes I am healed", and "cast your cares upon God".

Satan wants you earthbound with earthly fears, and God wants you elevated to heavenly places.

The question is, how do we do what God wants us to do?
