Battleground of the mind

(Psalm 94:11) The Lord knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.

(2 Corinthians 10:4-6) AMP
The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete.

As we return to the battleground of the mind….Today we are dealing with the present day issues as captured in (2 Corinthians 10:4-6).

Let’s take them one after the other.

Fortresses: Every Christian mind is supposed to be a fortress because the bible enjoins us to be effective gatekeepers of our heart in (Proverbs 4:23) Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.
In other words, if you fail to keep a good watch over what goes into your heart, you invariably make yourself vulnerable to the attacks of the devil.

Sophisticated arguments:
In a world and age where our minds are shaped by what we see and opinions heard on television and read in all forms of media. Many have caved into arguments of the society by accepting what God says is wrong. Before you disagree with me, think of Euthanasia, Homosexuality, Adultery, Smoking, Gambling, Drunkenness to name but a few. So many people are now asking what is wrong with these subjects, whilst the real Christian is asking himself/herself could be wrong ?
(2 Timothy 2:23) But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
(Romans 3:3)For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect?

Exalted thing:
How many times have you and I listen to the arguments of why God must be excluded from our society ? Unfortunately, it comes from those who claim to have studied atheist camouflaging as Theologians. Posing questions like Does God exist ? If He exist, how is possible to exist as 3 in 1 (trinity). Is Jesus the son of God ?
(Romans 1:18,21-22) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools.

Thought and purpose captive:
Our role as soldiers of Christ is to continue to bring into subjection every attempt of Satan and his henchmen wherever we see them with rightfully divided word of truth any day. Apostle Paul encouraged us in (1 Peter 3:15-16) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defence to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

“CHRIST OUR ROYAL MASTER LEADS AGAINST THE FOE”

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks (Luke 6:45)

Good morning my family of friends.

Onward Christian soldiers …
Still singing songs of victory, Hallelujah!
