Seven Truths About the Battle for Your Mind. Part [7] 05/20/2026 (Morning thought)

Hebrews 11: 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Hebrews 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned…. The choices that have been made to serve God from a willing heart of love would be sealed for eternity, because that is who you are and that’s who you will be at your very core for eternity. Thus, there are seven important truths about the battle for your mind that must now be considered.

Truth # [1] The invisible war taking place, is a battle for control of your mind. God has already gained the victory on Calvary, through Christ, but persons will have to choose to participate in that victory from a willing heart, not fettered by fear or by force….. [The Desire of Ages pp 392] They were greatly displeased, and wishing to wound the Savior and to gratify the malice of the Pharisees, they turned their backs upon Him, and left Him with disdain.

[The Desire of Ages pp 392] Their decision was never afterward reversed; for they walked no more with Jesus. As those disaffected disciples turned away from Christ, a different spirit took control of them. They could see nothing attractive in Him whom they had once found so interesting.  John 6: 66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will you also go away?

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

Seven Truths About the Battle for Your Mind. Part [6] 05/20/2026 (Evening thought)

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.

There is a perspective out there that we are always in control, and that can be true to a certain extent. However, the Bible teaches us that our freedom of choice is used to choose between Christ, or satan, since there is no middle ground, or no man’s land where persons can live in limbo as it were. All the choices we make will eventually lead to, and converge at the doorstep of one of the two masters vying for the seat of the mind.

And therefore, all our choices and the deliberate decisions and actions we take, are gradually tending towards that end. One of the reasons why God is making the utmost effort to ensure that all who will be saved, will have Christ abiding in the heart is because those who will be given eternal life will forever retain their freedom of choice intact. And since evil will not arise a second time, God has to make certain that the candidates for heaven will retain no seeds of rebellion in them.

Eternity is not to be jeopardized by persons, who will at some point in the distant future, use their own freedom of choice to start trouble again. God’s kingdom is not a kingdom of force, as satan’s kingdom is, and thus, the sealing work of The Holy Spirit, in the frontal lobes of the mind where choices are made doesn’t consist of permanently preventing anyone from disobeying God.

 Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

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