GOD’S BATTLE AXE: DEALING WITH THE BATTLE OF THE MIND!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd be RENEWED in the spirit of your MIND\u201d<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 4:23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowingly or unknowingly,\u00a0there’s\u00a0a battle and warfare that is ongoing in our minds and in thoughts twenty-four-seven. Unfortunately, the Church has sat so much on SPIRITUAL WARFARE for so long that we have lost a major BATTLE which I called – MENTAL WARFARE – The BATTLE [WARFARE] of the mind. And it is the RENEWING of the spirit of the mind [the soul section of intellect (think), reasoning,\u00a0perception\u00a0and will feel] by THE WORD that effect the spirit to make whole to experience the good,\u00a0acceptable\u00a0and perfect will of God in the grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God\u201c. <\/i>Romans<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>12:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For\u00a0it’s\u00a0what one PICTURE [IMAGINE] that\u00a0determines\u00a0ones FUTURE [DEFINITION], hence, Jeremiah could be ask by God – WHAT DO YOU SEE? meaning,\u00a0“WHAT\u00a0DO YOU PICTURE?\u00a0Or\u00a0rather put IMAGINE? And that was what eventually defined him in life and ministry [purpose] –\u00a0Jeremiah 1:11-12<\/b>. Remember\u00a0Abraham in\u00a0a similar\u00a0encounter\u00a0in\u00a0Genesis 13:14-18.<\/b>\u00a0It is what you PICTURE [IMAGINE] in the spirit of your MIND that\u00a0determines\u00a0and defines what awaits you in the future. And the vitality for SOUND MIND can NEVER be over-emphasised\u00a0at all phases of doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he [in BEHAVIOR\u2014one who manipulates]. He says to you, \u201cEat and drink,\u201d Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost]”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 23:7.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And there are reasons for the MIND\u00a0BATTLEFIELD\u00a0when you look at the Scriptural context of\u00a0Mark 5:1-20<\/b>.\u00a0And you can deduce\u00a0this\u00a0for the\u00a0following\u00a0reasons,\u00a0though not limited:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
