BATTLE OF THE MIND



We are in a spiritual battle of the mind on a daily basis. Satan tries to trick, demean, confuse, fill us with doubt and fear. He antagonizes us with lies as often as we allow, in order to gain power over us. The way he does this is through our minds. We must be prayerful and obedient to the Lord. Keeping our eyes and minds on Him and things that pertain to His will. Staying busy with the work of the Lord. We gain power and strength through the Spirit of the Lord, we are able to resist the devil and he will flee from us. We have power over satan because of who lives within us is Jesus Christ. Before we can have victory and peace in our lives we must solely depend on God. We need to allow Him to take control of our lives and our minds. Then our outlook will become more positive and we will have hope for our future and peace knowing God is in control. When we try to control our lives without the help of God, we are under great pressure, stress and confusion. When we depend on God, He lifts our burdens from us and we gain a spirit of freedom. The Word tells us "the truth will set us free". We are free from mental strongholds, are minds are at rest with things that would ordinarily hinder us. "The Lord will never leave us nor forsake us" Hebrews 13:5. I am thankful for a God that controls not only my present but my future! Through Him all things are possible,and we can do all things through Him! As children of God we do NOT have to be controlled by the lies of satan. We are conquers, and redeemed through Him! I am so thankful for the God we serve, the one and only Savior, Jesus Christ!
