Satan Wants Your Mind; this is How He Comes in to Steal, Kill and Destroy You. We can have a restored or passive mind, a restored mind is healthy and leads to victory. A passive mind is weak and can lead to defeat. Satan is after our minds, it is often his first line of attack in the battle over our lives. Passive Mind:- A passive mind is one that doesn’t question every thought that comes in and allows lies to become truth, therefore allowing fears and negativity to come in. Whatever you yield your mind to is what will control you. Satan is happy when you have a passive mind, because you do not completely believe the word of God as truth, you keep questioning parts of the bible and don't totally agree with it being the true word of God, therefore you have no peace about it. Satan knows that when you have a passive mind you will listen to his ideas. Take the Garden of Eden for instance, Adam and Eve became disobedient they listened to the lie of the devil and started to question Gods word and doubt came into their minds. Sin will be entertained in the mind first before it is committed. A passive mind cannot make clear judgment on issues, it will lack concentration, be indecisive, having thoughts jumping from one thing to another, and will not have peace. It will not take responsibility for its own sin but will say as Adam did “the woman made me do it". With a passive mind Satan will have a field day convicting you with thoughts of self accusation, despair, condemnation and depression, you will think you are not good enough or worthy enough and you will never be sure that your sin is truly forgiven so will keep coming back not knowing that your sin has been cleansed, because you do not fully understand Christ’s forgiveness.
A passive mind is like the seed in:
The bible tells us how to live our lives;
Take captive your thoughts today, fight the good fight against the flesh and as you do so you will have victory, say NO to satan remember what comes into your mind comes in through the ears and eyes so set a guard over these areas, filter everything and test it to see if it is from God. What comes out of your mouth will determine what your thoughts are so set a guard over your mouth too. There are seven entry points to the temple in the old testament and also seven entry points for satan to enter our bodies eyes(2) ears(2) nostrils(2) mouth(1).
Satan will put up a fight with you over the battle of your mind, but to win the battle you have to want to change the way you think, stay in the word, and walk in Gods ways. Ask God to help you and he will come to strengthen and help you renew your mind. Remember God is for you, it is his desire that you have victory, keep your thoughts focused on God today, you are worthy of God in your life do not let satan lie to you and condemn you, Jesus has forgiven your sins, guilt and shame, he no longer even remembers any of it. Walk in the freedom Christ has won for you. Restored Mind :- A restored mind is one that trusts in God, it studies and tests Gods word, and knows Gods word is trustworthy and can be relied upon. It loves to learn more about God, it will act in faith on Gods word and work the works of God listening for his voice and instructions; working his plans out together with the Holy Spirit so that Gods will is done on the earth. A restored mind is at peace, resting in Gods goodness.It is aware of the lies of the devil and has overcome the past negative thought beliefs and knows the truth casting out any negative thoughts as soon as they come in.
A restored mind trusts in God knowing he will do a work in us as we line our self up with his word and are obedient to him.
A restored mind acknowledges sin in their lives and will repent of any sin knowing that the sin has been completely washed away by the blood of Jesus. It doesn’t keep going back to the sin and confessing it but knows the word of God is truth and the punishment for their sin has already been paid for in full and God does not even remember it now.
A restored mind is aware that we have an enemy and that we live in a battle over our lives, a restored mind will be alert to what it listens to and takes into his mind, thoughts come either from God or Satan, It will weigh up the thoughts that come in and either dismiss them or take them on board. A restored mind will become stronger as it rejects Satan’s thoughts, as it renews its mind with the word of God and takes on more of Gods thoughts. The restored mind has inner peace as it acknowledges God in all its ways.
A restored mind wants Gods kingdom restored to him, to take back what the enemy has stolen so his children can walk, talk, and know God as their loving father, as in the Garden of Eden before the fall. It is a mind that sees the destruction of the enemy in the lives of Gods children and desires to drive the enemy out of their lives and bring peace. Jesus came so that he might destroy the works of the enemy, it is not his mind set for any of us to be defeated by the devil. He has given us his Holy Spirit so that we might work the same works as he did when he walked the earth, in fact he said we would do even greater things than he did. A restored mind has the faith to take God at his word and know he will do those works through us, being his vessels for him to work through as we are led by his instructions. Restoring The Mind:- Jesus says that his strength and might is in us, we must therefore stand in the power and authority Christ has given us and then when we have stood and won the battle, we need to keep the armor on at all times and be ready for the next battle, we can never let our shield down. We need to walk daily with God and even then our walk with God is one step at a time. There is not one perfect soul alive on the earth we are constantly being renewed into Christ Jesus’ image and learning along the way, until then we rely on God to help us change and become more like him. But there are some things we can do along the way to help free our minds:
You are seated in heavenly places as a son of God and have been given power and authority to overcome. God has made full provision through Jesus so that you can live victoriously but you must pick up your weapons of warfare and overcome, you cannot have a passive mind and sit back, waiting for God to intervene. God is waiting for you to take action; he has given you everything you need to win and it is now up to you. Are you going to let Satan rule over your life, rob, steal and destroy your peace of mind or are you going to stand and fight. The battle is one of continual deliverance, you need your armor on at all times you can never let your shield down. Keep that guard over what comes in through your eyes and ears, ask God to help you become more aware of his thoughts and give you ears to hear his voice so you can learn to recognize between Gods and Satan’s thoughts, keep your mind focused on God. We are the light and love of God wherever we go. God has written his laws on our minds
God has written his ways on our hearts and minds, we know them, we must not be tempted to join in with the ways of this world, we must be made new in our minds think differently which will lead to us acting differently and walking in Gods righteousness and holiness.
Take authority over your mind, pick up your weapons of warfare and break off any fears over your life and bondage's over your mind, take back what the enemy has stolen from you. Keeping your mind renewed daily on the word of God which is truth and shall set you free as you act upon it. Plead the blood of Jesus over yourself and all your family each day, Make sure you also cancel any curses spoken or thrown against you by anyone and also cancel any assignment of the enemy against you daily. Do also as the disciple paul did, as he sang praises to God whilst he was in prison God came and freed him. Keep a thankful heart and mind towards God. | |||||||||||
