MIND WARS - ARISE OUT OF THE ASHES
1. If We Do Not Change Our Thinking, Our Lives Will Never Change
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks, he becomes.
Romans 12:2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Conformed: negatively “formed,” shaped, and influenced.
When we were born again our spirits were made new but our minds were not.
Overcoming the negative “thorn trees” of memory in our minds (see slide of brain trees).
2 Corinthians 4:4 [Those] Whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel should shine on them.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own (old) understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your (new) paths (E.g. new wine for new wineskins).
2. God Wants to Restore Your Brain
2 Corinthians10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
Hardness in our hearts are strongholds; strongholds can be great and amazing things or horrible demonic things; they may derive from pain and baggage from our childhood.
Strongholds are either fear-based or faith-based clusters.
You cannot build new healthy memories on top of old “thorny” memories.
We must first break down and remove the negative “thorny trees” of the mind by comparing them against what God reveals as the truth.
We cannot just cast down a negative thought with a positive thought; we cast it down with the Word of God spoken out of our mouth.
We must then saturate our minds by remaining in the Word of God.
John 8:31-32 If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
James 1:21 Therefore, lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save (restore) your souls (minds).
Proverbs 4:20-22 My child, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 for they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
3. Focus on Thoughts That Generate Praise No Matter How You Feel
Philippians 4:8 Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
Psalm 22:3 God inhabits the praises of his people
His presence will turn back those negative, unbelieving thoughts.
Psalm 34:1 I will praise Him at all times I will constantly speak his praises.
Isaiah 61:3 To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.
