Battleground of the MIND

Battle ground of the Mind blog 2

 Our mind is full of strongholds we know them as thoughts, but they are not the truth, but rather what we think is truth.  A stronghold is a safe, secure place that is there for the protection of something.  In this case a thought. 

So we may think we are stupid and for year after year we build up ways to make this thought more rooted more secure in us and so we may not bother to ever challenge that maybe we are not stupid.
Experience and people may even do more to convince us that this is true so we put up even a stronger stronghold to protect us from the fear of failure.  When Jesus calls us and we respond though Jesus wants to tear down every vain or useless thoughts that rise above what He has to say about you and who he is.
2 Corinthians 10:4-7

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. 7 Do you look at things according to the outward appearance? If anyone is convinced in himself that he is Christ's, let him again consider this in himself, that just as he is Christ's, even so we are Christ's.

Our minds are like a house built of thoughts.  We do not have to be possessed by the enemy nor do we have to have a demon near us to find our minds full our his influences.  We have been programed by environment, education, television, movies, commercials, internet, Church, family and friends and so on.
 The Carnal mind looks a little like this.  Before we are saved this is often what our minds look like:

Jesus by his blood can wash our minds so that they are centered on Him, who He is and what He has done for us.
So After we are save our challenge is to tear down the oppressed house of thoughts and rise up a renewed mind full of God's wisdom through His word.

So today try to think some of the things that you believe that go against the Word of God and who God says you are. See if you can find some in your Bible or Here is a place where you can find some of the things God says about you.
