Thought War

I go into teaching on the mind and how Satan works against us in our minds with thoughts from evil spirits. At the end there is a prayer you can customize and pray yourself to God and to cast out evil spirits. There is also an activity you can do throughout the week to see more evil spirits leave and strongholds to be broken in your mind as you pursue God's complete freedom.

Many Christians never progress into becoming a Disciple. The main factor Satan uses to accomplish this is his incredible ability to use negative thoughts and words to ruin lives, abort destinies and shipwreck ministries.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

There are two kinds of unbelievers; sinners and Christians. Sinners don’t believe by nature. Many Christians in America don’t believe by fear, false teaching or bad doctrine. Many Christians have their thoughts blinded to the truth of the full gospel and do not believe in healing, deliverance, gifts of the Spirit, miracles, signs, etc.

1 Timothy 4:1 - But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons...

Seducing spirits always attack the brain and attempt to control the mind to destroy the person.

Ps. 139:23 - Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts;

God is the only one who can perfectly evaluate or judge the thoughts of a human.

Matthew 15:19-20 - For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders. These are the things which defile the man; but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

Negative thoughts will defile a Christian spiritually.

Thoughts Carry Enormous Importance

To receive healing and deliverance, thoughts carry enormous importance and are the key to the Christian retaining their physical, mental, spiritual and emotional healing. Your future is tied to your mind.

Luke 8: 12 - Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.

The devil uses negative thoughts to steal Christians’ benefits.

John 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

What kind of benefits does the devil steal? Our healing, deliverance, and salvation. The primary way is through our mind.

Matthew 12:36-37 - But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned."

Jesus’ dramatic statement!

1. At the time the spirits put the thought in the mind he still has no control over the person.

2. It is only when the negative thought is received and accepted as personal by the individual, does Satan get their mind to drift away from the thoughts of the Holy Spirit.

3. When the person accepts the thought as their own and verbally releases it. The spoken word gives the demons legal right to do harm.

4. The spoken negative thought is then brought into existence by the demon to destroy the person and steal their blessings.
(Proverbs 18:21)

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,

If you will complete your repentance and demolish the fortress of lies in your mind built by seducing and lying spirits over the years, you will be completely free from the authority and power of Satan and demons. You will fulfill your destiny and the incredible call of God upon your life. Remember, EACH thought must be taken captive and demolished. NOT ONE DEMONIC NEGATIVE LYING THOUGHT CAN BE RECEIVED AND BELIEVED! They all must die!

Ephesians 4:22-23 - that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

Science explains that the mind is located inside the brain. The brain is the hard drive and the mind is the software, so to speak. Satan uses evil spirits and fallen angels to control humanity and his main target is the human mind. If he gains control of the mind he can control the rest of the person.

Once the person learns through discernment, to reject the lying emotions and thoughts, the spirits lose their power and can easily be cast out. The person can be cured of mental illness and chronic negative thinking patterns. This is the root of Obsessive Compulsive Negative Thought Disorder. No one can be set free from listening to lies. They must be mentally renewed.

Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.

Repentance is the key.

1 Peter 1:13 - Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

You can be free of Satan’s destructive control of your mind if you repent of receiving negative thoughts and emotions as you own, go thru deliverance and re-new your mind on the Word of God.

Romans 12:2 - And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing (anakainosis/rennovation) of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Just like a house that gets renovated where the old and broken down parts of the house are destroyed, knocked down, and then new furniture walls and equipment is brought in, so it is with our mind and thoughts. Satan's kingdom needs to be destroyed and brought out and then our thoughts need to be filled with the Lord' Holy Spirit and His fruits of the Spirit. That is how it is with us. We need to renew our mind with the Scripture of God and remove every evil thought from Satan's kingdom!

Philippians 4:5-8 - Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

We can use this Scripture passage too, keeping in mind at the same time we need to tell Satan's Kingdom to leave us. This is a good passage to focus on renewing our mind.

During the Week - Walk Out of the Patterns of Satan

Make a literal list of the top 5 negative thoughts spirits put into your mind every day. Repent of receiving and believing them. Reject, renounce, and rebuke each of them separately & cast them out forever. (2 Cor. 10:3-5)
