Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee. 4 Trust in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.
In order for the Christian in our day to stave off the multiple and sustained assaults of both internal and external foes, we will have to keep Jesus ever before our faces. The battle for our minds as pertains to the invisible forces of good and evil, could be summed up in one short sentence: Get persons to choose the good or the evil.
It always comes down to choice so we must be aware of the various agencies that are involved in altering or swaying our decision making, and the ways and means that are employed in doing so. On the good side of the fence, methods such as the presentation of truth, God’s love for us, persuasions, and promises are used to encourage us to choose to do right.
God is a God of truth, and therefore He will use only those ways and means that are in harmony with His perfection. Thus, God tries to persuade persons to choose the right through the presentation of the Gospel.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
