About this episode

The episode discusses the spiritual battle against negative thoughts and the importance of aligning one's mind with God's truth to avoid giving the devil a foothold in life.

What battle are you fighting? Ephesians 6:12 makes it crystal clear that we aren’t waging a war against people, but against spirits, ideas, and thoughts that are anti-Christ. The enemy prowls about, seeking who he may devour. His method starts with thoughts, small seeds planted in the soil of our mind. If we don’t recognize the tricks of the enemy, we will end up watering those seeds and creating strongholds in our minds. Line every thought up against the truth of God’s Word, and CONTINUALLY praise Him!!! Close every door, every access point, every opening the enemy has in to your life — this is the ONLY way to live a life led by the Holy Spirit and not the misguided flesh. Neither give place to the devil! He wants it, but only you have the authority to give it to him, be encouraged!!!
