Your Mind is a Battlefield Part 2: Arm Yourself For Battle With the Word of God

This topic is near and dear to me, as I fought this battle for years, and it continues to be an ongoing battle. But God rescued me by transforming my mind through His word and prayer. God taught me how to fight…the right way.

So trust me, everything that I’m sharing with you is things that I walked through. If I know nothing else… I know the word of God WORKS.

Last week on the blog, we talked about recognizing who your real enemy is. The first step to winning the battle in your mind is knowing who you are really fighting against, and recognizing him when he comes.

So, now to the most important thing….how do we fight this battle in our mind?

Your Mind is a Battlefield Part 1: Do You Know Who Your Real Enemy Is?

One minute you are happy and joyful. Then you have a fleeting thought about something that could happen, should be happening, or might happen. The next thing you know, you are in a dark place, and you have no clue how you got there.

Pondering upon that one fleeting thought leads to a whirlwind of emotions, including fear, anxiety, sadness, doubt, guilt, and sometimes anger.

The truth is, your mind is a battlefield. You have a real enemy warring for your soul. He starts the battle in your mind by planting seeds in your thoughts.

The first step in learning how to fight this battle and ultimately winning the war is identifying who your real enemy is, and recognizing his plots, schemes, and tactics.

We Are Giant Slayers!

My oldest son plays little league football. Last year, he was on the team that won the championship title…sort of like the “super bowl” of little league. He played for the Falcons.

It was a very memorable season. There was one game in particular that made a very lasting impression on all of us.

My son’s team was scheduled to play the Steelers. At some point during the season, we had seen them in action. One thing is for sure.. these boys were HUGE.

I mean.. they were REALLY HUGE. I literally was not convinced that they were even the same age or should be in the same league. I wanted to demand to see some birth certificates for some of these boys! I digress..

Overall, the boys that played for the Falcons were smaller in stature. Naturally, they were a little intimidated.

My son said, “Momma, they are so big!” I told him not to let that affect him. Their size doesn’t take away from his talents. “Keep blocking the same way you always block, play like you always play. Don’t let that intimidate you, son,” I said to him.

I can’t remember who scored first. But I do remember, when the Falcons scored, it caught the Steelers off guard. They weren’t expecting it. Of course, the Falcons won.

In the story of David and Goliath, we found a very similar scenario. This story can by found in 1 Samuel 17.
