It is not about sickness
It is not about poverty
It is not about riches
It is not about pain
It is not about losing that loved one
It is not about that miscarriage, or the weight you carry deep in your chest
It is deeper than what you think, see or
feel.
It is all about your mind and your conviction in the word of God.
The battle of the mind, the war within, where doubt creeps in and hope grows thin
Many of us when thinking of spiritual
battle, don`t look at our mind being the mean battle field.
When the devil attacks, he attacks our knowledge of God, he questioned what we think we know about God
He put doubts into our hearts so that we dismissed God`s words.
Planting seeds of doubt in our mind
Just like in Eden, the serpent was playing with Eve`s mind.
Genesis 3:1b “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden.
He asked a question, leading to a battle of knowledge and conviction.
He was able to put doubts in Eve`s mind, she saw the fruit differently. Her mentality about what God said changed, her view about what God said changed.
She began to see the fruit as one desirous to make one wise.
All because her conviction about the word of God has changed by that one question. This was an attack, an attack on God said.
Sounds familiar? Have we all not been there? Questioning God? It is an attack on your conviction about the word of God. The battle of the mind, it`s a spiritual fight. A war of your conviction in what is right.
So be careful what you feed your mind, the books we read, the movies we watched, the song we listen to. They can
twist your view on how you see things.
Something that the word of God has already giving a definite answer on, we start to look at it from a different lens, having different perspective. That`s
the battle of the mind, a spiritual warfare.
For the weapon of the devil one is an opinion, one which is contrary against the word of God. What is your weapon to guard your heart, as the bible said in Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
