Good morning people who guard the real estate of your mind
(Today’s BIY is by Helen Calder, who is a part of the David McCracken Ministries family)
It has often been said that the mind is the primary battlefield when it comes to spiritual warfare. The Apostle Paul teaches about this, saying:
‘For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.’ (2 Cor 10:3-5, NIV)
You may relate to this as your thoughts, mindset, perspective and beliefs can come under siege at times. Your mind is like valuable real estate and the enemy is constantly haggling to gain a slice of that ground.
Your every thought, belief and attitude is either in agreement with God’s Word—or it is under contention.
Why is your mind so valuable? The truth is, whatever is taking place in your thought life, even subconsciously, is controlling your whole life. By extension, it is influencing the lives of others you are connected to. And the enemy wants that ground because he knows the ramifications of your thought life.
Jesus paid the price of His own blood to purchase you, body, soul and spirit, so that He could redeem you to the Father. Your thought life, your mind is valuable. Today, meditate on the power of a mind fully surrendered to God—your mind.
