The Battlefield Of The Mind

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 10:4-5(KJV); (For the weapons of our warfare are not 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.

Strongholds are in the mind.

If you study the language of our theme scripture carefully, you will realise that everything is in the mind.

It speaks of casting down IMAGINATIONS, every high thing that exalts itself against the KNOWLEDGE of God and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ.

This is not about fighting the “power” of demons, rulers or principalities. It is not about taking a forty day dry fast against the witchcraft from your in-law, auntie or they that wish you evil.

True warfare is convincing your mind about what God has done and the finished work of Christ at the cross of Calvary.

It is looking at your circumstances and considering them as past regardless of their present continuous nature.

It is a good thing to have mastery of words and to tame your tongue but you ought to also tame your thoughts, to have an automatic delete key for negative thought in your mind.

The moment the enemy plants a negative thought in your mind, weed it out! Speak the Word in response because it is the sword of the Spirit! Hallelujah!
