Attack on the Mind
As we are in the discussion of spiritual warfare on my blog I only found it fitting to Feature Gretchen Fleming’s blog post “3 Ways to Stand Firm Against the Lies of the Enemy“. It is no big revelation to hear that Satan attacks the mind. He has been doing it from the beginning and he won’t be changing anytime soon. What isn’t new is his strategies, he is always attempting to devour us so we need to be able to recognize them. He often disguises himself as our own thoughts and inflicts various wounds by planting bad seeds. He can make you believe things that aren’t true or that never took place. Satan causes confusion and makes you question just about anything.null

3 Ways That Satan Attacks
- Deception/Lies – Satan is a deceiver. From the very first time he entered the scene he started off by deceiving Eve. He caused her to doubt what God had said to her. Satan will attempt to deceive you into believing in him instead of what God says in his Word. Are you believing lies instead of truth today about who God says you are? Are you stuck in a place of doubt?

- Condemnation – Perhaps you cannot seem to escape the feeling of shame and condemnation over your past. The Lord says that you are a new creation in Christ and that all things are new. If you are having thoughts of condemnation and feeling like you are unloved by God then you are under attack.
- Accusations – Satan is the accuser of the brethren. In the book of Job it says that the enemy patrols the earth, watching and waiting to find someone to accuse. When someone accuses you of wrongdoing and you are innocent it may cause you to doubt, fear, and cower. Those accusations can cause you mental defeat and lead to things like depression. Are you letting false accusations hinder your purpose?

Then how can we combat with Satan’s power? *1. I am not at the mercy of falsehood*.
I am not bound by it nor chained to it.
No one else has the right to declare their viewpoint as supreme. What God says of me, what He does or doesn’t convict me of, is what reigns supreme. Through Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of my faith, through God’s Holy Word, through His indwelling Holy Spirit, I have what I need for the ability to demolish strongholds in my life.
*“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have **divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension **that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to **make it obedient to Christ.” **2 Corinthians 10:4-5*

Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked “Teacher,what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?”
Jesus replied”There is only one who is good.If you want to enter life,keep the commandments.”…..
-Mathew 19:16-18
My dear ,the lord is warning all of us of the fact that we all are prone to temptations even though the weapons we fight with are not of the world.Even Jesus Christ was tempted by Satan and he proved that Satan was no match for him ,he used the words of the Scripture to defeat him.
But he said to me ,”My grace is sufficient for you,for my power is made perfect in weakness”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses,so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians12:9
