A friend and I were talking about how powerful our minds are. They can make us believe something is so when it is not. They can make us believe something as the truth when it is not. I have two light switches in my hall- they both operate the same light. If the light is on one switch is up and the other switch is down. And vice versa if the light is off. I can't tell you how many times I have turned off the light that was already off, or on, because of the position of the switch. My mind tells me the light is either on or off because of the position of the switch, not because the bulb is shining or isn't.
Because our minds are so powerful we have to keep them renewed. This is why the Lord warns us to take every thought captive. Our thoughts will become actions if we think on them too long. The devil knows this and this is his main area of attack. Our minds truly are a battleground. Whoever wins in the mind, wins.
The only way we can truly win and be victorious in our thought life is by committing each thought to the Lord. We need to bring them into subjection and scrutiny to the Word of God. We need to keep them lined up with what the Bible says. When we do this, we bring the power of our minds under the power of the Holy Spirit. And when our minds, and thoughts, are under His control we will not fall to the devil's attack and will walk in victory.
Have a great day. Our minds are powerful, therefore, we have to keep each thought submitted to the Lord.
