Your loving heavenly Father’s ultimate plan for your mind is to fill your thoughts with His Word and with the power and authority that belongs to a believer in Jesus Christ. But just as God has a plan for your mind, so also does Satan, the Father of Lies. A battle over your mind is going on between God and Satan, good and evil, truth and fiction, righteousness and fantasy. Therefore, it’s important to recognize that, according to Ephesians 6:12, you are really not your problem! Your problem is a spiritual battle, which has been orchestrated and masterminded by the devil and then carried out by his little band of wicked wimps. The devil understands if he can influence your mind, his prospects are good for controlling your entire life.
How you deal with the battle that is raging within the confines of your mind will determine the environment of key circumstances and relationships in your life. If you long for a peaceful home, you must acknowledge the biblical principle that peace begins within you. Your cerebral reasoning, to a large extent, will predetermine whether or not your home is filled with stress or with strength. The same is true in all other areas of your life.
It’s time for a change in our thought patterns! It’s time to reject Satan’s suggestions and to receive God’s truths. The transformation begins with a divine examination, performed by the greatest and most trustworthy Physician of all time. When Satan spews his awful lies into your vulnerable mind, he uses just enough of the truth to build his deceitful case. With the help of the Great Physician, you can object loudly and defiantly with the truth found only in the Word of God! We are not finished with this subject yet, because in the chapters that follow, we will learn more about how our spiritual enemy works and how to stand against him with God’s Word.
Personal Application:
Think about your everyday attitudes, words, and actions. What do they indicate about the state of your thought life? What hidden, negative thoughts have you been allowing to direct your life?
