Sadly, it took me two weeks to realize I was under attack and allowing the circumstances to rule over me. This podcast sums up all the attacks I have been under.
I have been fighting, but today there will be a greater fight as I use the full armor and the perfect strength of my God. For I am weak and He is strong. What a year for discouragement and I agree, spiritual attack as well. Praying God will help you with your armor — Love your last line. You may be weak, but He is strong! We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ James ESV Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. Comments Thanks so much. God bless you. To help us protect our mind in spiritual warfare, God has given us His spiritual armor.
Ephesians 6 describes the components of the armor God has given us to stand strong in spiritual battles. In the Precept Bible Study Method , one way we encourage you to study the scripture is through making lists. If we were to make a list of the spiritual armor God provides for us, it would look like this:. Notice the reference in Ephesians which says to be strong in His strength, not your own. It is written in the passive voice which means that we receive the action; literally this means God strengthens us, we receive His strength.
The battles for your mind come in the form of spiritual warfare and personal attacks. In 2 Corinthians, Paul shares what a spiritual battle looks like and his response to the attack. Philippians helps us understand how to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
To win the battles of our mind, Paul tells us to have our mind think about the things from this list:. Compare your thoughts to the list of things to think about from Philippians No one can control every single thought in their mind. But, there are two things to remember:. As thoughts of fear, anxiety, or worry creep into your mind, go straight to the Lord in prayer. And then go to His Word, taking every thought captive and replacing it with Scripture.
You will be amazed at the freedom you gain—which is your right as a child of the King. You will also be amazed as you watch the Lord do battle on your behalf.
