"but I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."
Did you know that your mind is a valued trophy. We are in a battle everyday of our lives. The battle is for our thought life. The devil wants to capture, control, and corrupt your thought life. The human mind is very important because we become what we think about. Proverbs 23:7 states, "for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
How does the devil get into our thought life? Through unguarded doors.
1. The perverse mind--unconfessed, harbored sin in any life is the devils open door.
2. The passive mind--A mind that is not aggressively controlled and kept by the believer
3. The polluted mind--Drugs, alcohol, sorcery
However, we have three weapons: Repentance, resistance, and renewal. Christ is our commander and Chief. The devil has been trying to do all he can to win this war, but when Jesus Christ died at calvary, he dropped a nuclear bomb on the devil. If we stay in love with the Lord Jesus, there won't be any room for those filthy, dirty, wicked, lascivious, lustful, and prideful thoughts that bombard us all. Let's fill our minds with things that are pure.
