The mind is the battlefield
Our thoughts get us into trouble more than anything else. This is because our thoughts are the roots of every word and deed.
In Isaiah 55:8, The Lord says, "for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways" no matter what you or I may think, God has written down His thoughts for us in His book, the bible. We choose to examine our thoughts in the light of His word, always being willing to submit our thoughts to His thoughts, knowing that His are best.
This is exactly the point made in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. Through careful strategy and cunning deceit, Satan attempts to set up stronghold in our minds. A stronghold is an area in which we are held bondage due to the wrong way of thinking. Examine what is in your mind. If it does not agree with God's thought, then cast down your own thoughts and think God's thoughts instead. In order to do this, you must know God's Word well enough to compare your thoughts with what is in the mind of God.
People living in the vanity of their own minds not only destroy themselves, but far too often, they bring destruction to others around them. Those who live by God's truth, on the other hand, are blessed and bring blessing to others.
The mind is the battlefield!
On the battleground of the mind you will either win or lose the war against that Satan has launched against you. My heartfelt prayer is that you will cast down imaginations and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity, into obedience to Jesus Christ so that you can live in Victory, joy and peace.
