THE BATTLE OF THE MIND

in #steemchurch5 years ago (edited)

The mind is the set of cognitive abilities (ie, mental) that encompass processes such as perception, thinking, consciousness, memory, imagination, etc., some of which are characteristic of the human and others are shared with other forms of lifetime.

For this reason the enemy has always wanted to weaken the mind of the person because he knows perfectly well that all our thoughts settle there.
and certainly the mind in a certain part is a battle that we have to constantly fight to take care of our thoughts because the damage that this battle leaves in the human being has a very bad effect on life.
The battle of the mind is a spiritual war since we have no fight against people but against the hosts of darkness who are constantly sending darts to Christians to weaken their thoughts and bring them down.

2 Corinthians 10: 3-4
Because our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against powers, against the powers of this world of darkness, against the spiritual hosts of evil in the heavenly regions. "(RVR1960).

Many times we fight with so many thoughts that do not edify our life and adverse circumstances speak to us so many things that if we turn our eyes off of God things get worse and our mind begins to get sick filling us with anxiety and fear.
In that order of ideas we have to protect ourselves with all the armor of God because it is in the mind that the enemy attacks us because our freedom really begins with the mind and ends in our hearts to externalize what we carry inside.

The world offers us various attractions to slide our thoughts from the will of God but we must not conform to what this world mistakenly offers us

Romans 12: 2: 2
"And do not conform to this century, but be reformed by the renewal of your understanding, so that you may experience the good will of God, pleasant and perfect" (RVR1960).

Every day we must renew our mind with the word of God and meditate wisely on the fruits of the spirit that really is what gives life because the fruits of the flesh are not profitable.

And the message we must learn is to depend on God and renew our mind in obedience to God.

James 4: 7: 7
"Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (NIV)

We have a mission and it is to submit ourselves day by day with obedience to God in order to resist the temptations of the devil in order to free our minds and renew our thoughts and obviously the devil will flee from you.
