And in 2 Cor 10:4-5 we’re reminded
again, the weapons we fight with aren`t carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
When the devil sets words, ideas, opinions, negative
thoughts which are contrary against the knowledge of God`s word. But how can you cast down the imaginations if you don’t know His Word? But how can you fight if you don’t know His voice?
How can you win if you don’t make the choice?
The choice to study His Word, to hide it in your heart,
That’s how you defend when the doubts start.
Just as Jesus did when He was tempted in the desert. He used the Word of God to put the enemy to rest. Casting down every imagination which was contrary against
God`s Word. Knowledge is key, understanding is key.
Matthew 13: 19 says When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil
one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.
The goal of the devil one is to seal the
word of God from your heart. He afflicts you with illness, difficult situations, circumstances in life, so that you will doubt God.
The devil primary goal is to derail you from God`s plan, from you knowing God.
Without knowledge and understanding, it is impossible to use the armor of God in Ephesians 6. All of the them requir knowledge about the word of God, about Christ, understanding who God is. We have to develop a strong interest in God, His word, not his hand, but God himself. We should seek not the bread that he gives, but the bread that He is. The Bible is not about us, it is about God.
And as believers, our primarily goal is to know God. For all battles starts in our mind.
The mind is the battlefield, don’t you see?
The devil’s after your thoughts, your destiny.
But with God’s Word as your guide, your shield, your light,
You can stand firm and win this fight.
So guard your mind, protect your heart,
And let His truth set you apart.
It is not about the sickness
It is not about the poverty
It is not about the riches
It is all about your mind and your conviction in the word of God. The only way to guide your heart is by studying it.
For the battle of the mind is where it all
begins, And with Christ in your heart, you’ll always win.
