Mind Battles

We all have them… those negative thoughts that cause our mind to be ballistic battle field. Don’t we???!!! We have to resist the enemy with truth, as soon as the battle begins and thwart the enemy right away. Sometimes we make the wrong choice to engage with the thoughts, to mull them over and over in our mind and this creates a lot of chaotic thinking which truly does affect our mood. No doubt about it. I have been there and done that and when I over think things I don’t even know to be true, it affects my attitudes and then my actions. It is the plan of the enemy, start with the bad thoughts and hoping to hook us and reel us into bad behavior. Let’s not be hooked! Let’s be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Wise in our thought life and gentle in our walking out in our lives the things that are true.

Probably the best thing to do is to guard our hearts diligently, because out of them flow the issues of our lives. This is good godly wisdom. Our thoughts are the battlefield of the enemy, the battlefield of his choosing. Thoughts can become like a battle of thoughts that you can’t break out of. Thoughts that are bad and cause you anxiety. Thoughts that cause you to remember things you are trying to forget. Thoughts that come against the spiritual growth that you are trying to work out in your life.

The way I break through really bad thoughts is to say: JESUS help me in this battle. Then I begin to think positive thoughts, countering lies with truth. I then pray for the situations the enemy is bringing up, putting them in God’s hands, yielding the outcome to Him.

So, if you are suddenly bombarded with bad thoughts, the enemy cackle of the mind, and you can’t get free from them, you know that the enemy has chosen a battlefield and you need to resist the enemy. Start with Praise, begin praising God, acknowledging God for all that He is. Send Judah first into the battlefield. Then declare and decree God’s promises, remembering Who He is and declaring what He has said. Then pray, intercede for the situation that they enemy is using to bombard your mind with lies and pray for the truth to be revealed, pray up the truth. Resist the enemy cackle on his chosen battle field of your mind and he will have to flee in Jesus name.

Let’s go over our spiritual battle plan again: The enemy choses his battlefield. Your Mind! Your mind is suddenly bombarded with stupid thoughts. Praise - Declare Who God Is - Decree His Truth In Prayer - Testify of what God has done for you. The enemy has to flee! Awe-GOD!!
God bless you and yours… Fight the good fight of faith!
