Seven Truths About the Battle for Your Mind. Part [1] 05/17/2026 (Morning thought)

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Matthew 12: 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished. 45 Then he goes, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

There is an invisible war taking place for the control of your mind, and everyone is involved, whether we know it or not. The forces of good, and evil operate under the directives of one of two kingdoms, either Christ’s, or satan’s. Thus, the infusion of all modes of thought, ways and means, coming from the two kingdoms, whenever adopted will determine who is seated on the throne of our hearts.

If permitted by the individual, Jesus will fill our minds with thoughts and aspirations that are akin to His. But if Christ is rejected, the default setting becomes a mind that is guided and infused with the modes of thought and action that come from the kingdom of darkness. In fact, being possessed with the prince of darkness, begins with gradual and ongoing tendency to adopt, and cultivate his ways and means.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Worship God in Spirit and Truth. Part [18] 05/17/2026 (Evening thought)

Isaiah 28: 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be “wroth” as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

Isaiah 28:22 Now therefore be you not mockers lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord God of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth….. Joshua 24:14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve you the Lord.

No doubt, many persons will, like David, be taken aback at what might seem to their minds as a mistake in judgment on God’s part, when apparently “innocent souls” are lost. It behooves us then to take a good introspect look at ourselves to see if we might be cherishing sins in our lives, on a personal or national level. It also calls upon us to worship serve and obey God in spirit and in truth, for God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must do so from the heart, in order for it to be accepted.

We therefore end with a passage that would call all of us to deep souls searching and it’s the will of God that wheresoever a change of heart and practice are needed, that we will humble ourselves before Him, so that He can do His good pleasure in and through us.

Joshua 24:15 And if it seems evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
