KEPT IN MY MIND BY THE POWER OF GOD

November 10

hildren, do you have a problem with your thought life? Do you think at times that you may be under demonic attack? Does this frighten you? Have you even feared losing your mind? Let me concede this to you. Indeed, at times my children are oppressed by the enemy! However, he always lies to you and attempts to steal from you through fear. Will you allow this to happen? You don’t have to allow it! When these thoughts come your way, resist them by saying, “Father, this is not me thinking this alone. It is an attack of the enemy, and I deny the lies being given to me!” Also, you may overcome the fear by experiencing His perfect love. Remember the scripture that says, “Perfect love casts out fear.” (I John 4:18 NKJV) Well, when you begin to say aloud such things as, “My Father in heaven loves me too much to let the evil one steal from me my joy and peace,” you are confessing your Father’s unfailing love for you. In this confession of His love for you, you will see activated the Holy Spirit of love who casts out your fear. Wow, isn’t that a blessing for you? Too many of my children when attacked in the mind, assume that it is because of some present sin in their lives. This is not necessarily so! This attack may be allowed by your Father so that your confession of His love for you will come forth to defeat the enemy and teach you how to fight back effectively. You are not a wimp! Having a good fight with the enemy and forcing him to have a great defeat will strongly encourage you that your Father is on the throne of your heart. It will also put you into what might be called the “Joyful Winners Column.” You need to win a few now and then to cause you to feel good about the fact that the battle can be won every time when you go forth with the sword of the word in the great name of the Lord Jesus Christ! Get up from where you are and praise highly your Father in Heaven. The enemy has no plan or attack against you of which your loving, healing, blessing Father is not aware. He will send His angels to your defense if you will only fight back! The army of which you are a part is a marching, fighting, winning army! How can you win these battles if they are never fought? See there, your Father will come in time to deliver you. Just call upon Him.

Prayer

Father, I will not accept the lies of the enemy that he hurls at me. If he comes to oppress me or attack my mind, I will remember that I have the mind of Christ, and “I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me.” (Romans 8:37) I am truly blessed O Lord. I give you thanks and praise in the strong name of the Lord Jesus, amen!
