Overcoming attack on mind


We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, (ESV) 2 Corinthians 10:5

In this verse, Paul talks about how our mind or thinking can come under the attack of enemy. Before you go, your thought goes before you. If you think rightly, then you may feel right, speak right, act right and perceive right. Mind is a battle field. Enemy can build stronghold in our mind or thinking. Devil can raise wrong arguments and opinions about everything in our lives which can stand against the knowledge of God. Watch out following things: habitual negativity in thinking, stubborn opinions, lofty arguments, self-flesh centric thinking, fearful thinking, negative-critical opinion, thoughts that trigger surge of negative emotions, thoughts that blind you/carry away you for a while, thought that put you down or make you feel down or worthless, thoughts that demotivate you etc.

We need to consistently pray for mind of Christ in us (1Cor.2.16), renewal of mind (Rom.12.2), a mind set on things of the Spirit (Rom.8.7) and obedience of our mind or thought to Jesus Christ.

Raise up, pray and stand against devil’s attack over our mind and thoughts.
