Day Four - Agree With God

The mind is truly a battlefield. It’s where our greatest battles about who we are and what we can do begin and can end. In my experience it is the hardest place to overcome. It can really be an obstacle to moving forward, but when the mind is mastered it can change how you live your life. 

The mind is a muscle we must train if we desire to win and reign in life. God desires you to have life and to have it abundantly. He desires you to be free and fruitful. But it all begins in the mind. 

To truly be all that God has said, you must start by sifting out anything that you believe in your mind that is contrary to what God has spoken concerning you and your life. 

Even from our youth the enemy uses many avenues to sow seeds of lies that shape our thinking and understanding of who we are. His lies begin in subtle ways, as whispers, and he even uses unfavourable experiences to affirm these lies. Slowly we begin to agree with them subconsciously and live out these negative ideologies. 

The enemy has an agenda to destroy that which God has placed in you from the beginning. He desires to hold you back from progressing by getting you to agree with him. The enemy can see who you can become through the Holy Spirit. He knows the power you hold so he will do anything to divert you from it. That is his mission. The enemy wants you to live below who God has said you are. He knows you will be a threat to him the moment you realise who you are and the authority you have.  

In order to stop his agenda and disarm him, you must first identify his entry points. You must locate where he has control in your mind and overrule it with the truth. What is that truth? The word of God! You must agree with God’s truth in order to experience true liberty and peace of mind. 

It’s important to realise that you don’t have to agree with every thought that comes to your mind. You can test it and choose whether it stays or leaves. 

The strength required to prevail in the area of the mind is also the work of the Holy Spirit who has been given to you. Scripture speaks about the Holy Spirit leading us into truth and bringing peace and life. It is so important to ask the Holy Spirit to lead you into that truth whenever you feel ambushed mentally. This means inviting His Spirit to help you in a time of weakness in order to overcome.

Prayer:

Lord, I give You my mind and I ask Your Holy Spirit to rule and reign. Anything that is not of You, that doesn’t line up with Your word, reveal it. I ask that the Holy Spirit will lead me into truth and renew my mind. I repent for agreeing with the enemy’s lies and I choose to come into agreement with Your word. Help me to retain it and use it as a weapon against the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen
