Your mind is a battlefield

You’ve heard it before.
I’m going to remind you of it…
Your mind is a battlefield.

It’s a battle that isn’t won once…
It’s a battle we face, daily.

The enemy wants a foothold.
He wants to sneak in with thoughts that discourage, distract, and deceive.

He wants your mind filled with lies.

Lies like…
You’ll never be good enough.
You’ll always struggle.
You’re alone.

But let me remind you…
Those are pure lies.

Let me remind you…
You have God-given armor.
(Ephesians 6:11)

Let me remind you…
You have a weapon that’s unbeatable.
(Hebrews 4:12)

Let me remind you…
You have God-given truth.
(John 17:17)

It’s through that truth that you can flush your mind of all deceit and lies.

It’s through that truth that you can stand firm with a strong mind.

But we have to know His Word…
To claim His Word.

Without it…
We’re like a soldier going into battle with no training, with no equipment, we have no chance.

The devil is going to easily attack because there’s a knowledge gap in our ability to fight back.

That’s not a position I want you to be in.
That’s not a position I want to be in.
That’s a susceptible position.

That’s the position most people are in.
That’s partly why society is filled with so much anxiety.
They aren’t anchored in truth.

Their truth is what culture says it is…
Which is always changing.

No wonder mental health is such a big issue.
No wonder it’s only increasing.

The devil’s tricks deceive so many.
His lies win in many ways.

But they aren’t going to win with you.
He’ll keep trying, but he’s going to keep losing.
You keep feeding your mind truth.

You keep close to God.
You keep His Word as your anchor.
You keep praying.

That all works together to keep you mentally strong.
That all keeps you rooted in truth.
That makes you unbeatable.

That’s what strips the devil’s power…
Power that’s only possible because it’s rooted in lies.
Add truth, and he’s powerless.

That’s exactly what he should be.
That’s exactly who he is.
