The Enemy You Can’t See!
“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning
and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. And after you have become fully obedient, we will punish everyone who remains disobedient.” 2 Cor.10: 3-6, (NLT)
I need to remind everyone that every minute of every day there is a battle going on for your thoughts• Have you ever had the experience that you are going alone minding your own business and some terrible thought comes into your head? This is because there are three voices that are speaking to us. It is God as we mediate upon His word. These are positive thoughts full of confidence and victory guiding us through the day and different situations. The second voice is that of the devil who wants to instill doubt,
fear and negative thoughts. And the third voice is that of ourselves that mull over the
results of that which we are thinking.
We need to become aware when the devil is speaking to us. There are a lot of people who don’t even believe that he exists. But he does and wants to kill you and your families, steal your dreams and desires, and destroy your life. God on the other hand wonts you to have an abundant life overflowing with blessings so you can also bless others.
Our job is to recognize these negative thoughts, reasoning’s, and rebellious arguments that contradict the word of God. We fight them by confessing the word of God says and repeat it several times a day if necessary. Let’s say a thought comes to you saying you are a failure and you can’t do anything right. You need to say out loud, “I am victorious in Christ. I can do all things through God who gives me strength. I am the masterpiece of God. I am valuable and have worth in the sight of God. God’s loves me and meets all of my needs through Christ Jesus!”
Remember there is a battle going on for the thoughts of your mind. You don’t have to let the enemy control your thoughts. You fight back by speaking the word of God. This is how you take these negative words captive and teach your mind to obey the word of God.
If you like to give your heart to God and be forgiven, please say this prayer to God. Dear God, I ask for forgiveness for my sins. I believe that Jesus Christ was sacrificed for my justification. Come into my heart. I give you my life. Amen
