The Head Fight

“We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God”. By bringing every thought into captivity under the scrutiny of the knowledge of Christ, we protect truth. Many people have theories of God, and the way He is from a perspective totally out of line with His truth. A theory is nothing more than a supposition established upon ignorance of the subject under discussion. They don’t know God from a personal relationship with Him, a big difference. We have no control over the thoughts that come into our minds, but they should be dealt with immediately before we act on them. Every thought should be brought into subjection of the knowledge of God’s word first. Some thoughts are strong thoughts of temptation which aren’t easy to resist but can be done. The bible says, “resist the devil and he will flee”. The words before that verse say, to first be submitted to God, and then Satan will leave. Without God’s help, the devil is just hugging you a little tighter. The battleground of our thought life takes place in the mind, which we are instructed to renew our minds to conform to God’s will. The fight is in your mind first, and then you are more than a conqueror.
