Your Mind Is the Battleground
Dr RJ Sing · 1 min read
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 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.”
Our Warfare against satan is waged in the spiritual realm. It is tremendously important that we understand where the battle is taking place. Paul used various words in 2 Corinthians to speak of the battleground and our objectives. In different translations, we find the following words: “Imaginations, reasoning’s, speculations, arguments, knowledge, and thoughts” Notice that every one of those words refer to the realm of the mind.
We absolutely must understand that the battleground is in our minds. satan is waging an all-out war to captivate the minds of the human race. It is our responsibility, as God’s representatives, to use our spiritual weapons to break down these strongholds, to liberate the minds of men and women, and then to bring them into captivity to the obedience of Christ. satan deliberately and systematically builds strongholds in people’s minds.
These fortresses resist the truth of the Gospel and the Word of God and prevent us from being able to receive the message of the Gospel.
