With Standing Mental Attacks
(Training your mind to receive the finished works of grace)
To Train :- To bring under control something
that’s out of control and wild.
Why as Christians is it important to have control over our mind, this is our gateway to all that Jesus has and is going to give you. We must guard our mind as this is our arena of faith.
Stop the press – hold the phones
# Important fact revealed #
He will sow tiny seeds of .. suggestion .. and then sit back and laugh as we self destruct. Then what do we do is give him (the devil) the glory, for doing NOTHING. Next time you go into a tail spin, just imagine him sat in the corner laughing at you loudly, don’t let him see you cry, NO. Instead, smile and praise Jesus Christ. Just like a bully, when he can see he can’t get to you he (the devil) will on.
# Be strong Jesus Christ is with us #
To win this battle we need to give it a lot attention .. Psalms 5:1 “..Give ear to my words, O Lord, Consider my meditation..” .. What are we giving our attention to? .. Why are we led away so easily? Here below are some tips I hope are of use for you ..
- Become constantly aware of what you are thinking,
- Constantly check out what you are thinking,
- Always beware of of what’s going through your mind
NO
The devil was, and still is, sneaky; under handed and very crafty. He got them thinking and obsessing about the wrong things, until he had them thinking only of this one tree in the garden...# You cannot be tempted with everything you don’t think about #
...If the devil is going to tempt you, he is going to have you thinking about it. The Testament
Will have you thinking on the following things that are good ..
- Think on the things that are lovely
- Think on things that are of good reported
Psalm 103:2/4
“..Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies..”
… because of the volatile society we live in, it says ‘it’s OK to let your mind wonder’

Try this ...Turn off your TV (television) Radio – Stereo - I Pod/Mobile phone. Now come to state of prayer then see how long it takes before some thought other than what your praying on pops up??
Who can truly say. ‘what is it the devil knows about the power he truly has? When in fact he has none. The devil would have all us believers to think that we have all non believers think that the Bible really says, ‘God only helps those who help themselves’. Really. WRONG It was former USA Benjamin Franklin that once said: “You should always be aware of who is leading you, and who is not”. The only way is to be in your Bible, so you know when exactly when the leader is about to send them out to do something and NOT God.
We need to know the goodness & graces of god are blocked, and why this has happened? Well it is because we don’t have held aloft our shield of Faith. I hear you ask ‘why do we need these’? These are used to stop the fiery-dart... Ephesians 6:16 “..above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one..” … How can we recognise these attacks? They come in forms and guises - suggestions and come from places you’ll never had thought possible…
Philippians 4:13 "..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.."
...every time the devil whispers in your ear .. ‘your good’ or ‘you can’t do that idiot’. You hold aloft your shield and say back to him, “..taking the "shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one..”
It’s sad to say too many of us, instead of holding aloft our “shield of faith”, we have it ‘metaphorically’ we have it leaning against our leg, or worst of all have it leaning against the wall in the corner. Now the shield is wondering you know how to use it at all. This is why we get covered in “the fiery darts of the wicked one”. It’s time to start to learn how to use it effectively/properly/fully in our lives.
Fear ~ Is just an accusation, told to us from an early age, which would have us believing may be a false hood.
Fear-not
Deuteronomy 3:22 “..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..”
2 Kings 17:35 “..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..”
Number 21:34 “Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand..”
Hebrews 13:6 “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”
God has been stood here for a long time, just waiting for us waiting for us throw the accuser out of the way so His glory can come into our lives and shine. We ‘ALL’ need to ready to respond to the devil, like this …
Example . . .
When he says your to weak, you say..
1 Corinthians 12:10 “..Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong..”
When he says your defeated, you say..
1 Corinthians 12:1054/55 “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”
You really can’t let what the devil says, or does, you have to send a flood in to flush out his bad & rotten seeds. Other wise they spread out and infect everything. Remember these thing I have told you … and you can start to batting all the rotten seeds out of the park. All you need to do these things, is in you hand called the Bible, it has all you need.
And forget not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies..”
… because of the volatile society we live in, it says ‘it’s OK to let your mind wonder’
