It's a funny thing. The devil somehow has access to human mind. He is able to conjure up thoughts there which are contrary to God's will for us.
He even has access to the
mind of a Christian.
This whole thing can get quite confusing! right?
Since Satan can insert thoughts in minds, sometimes we are not sure where they are from.
How are we to know if a particular thought is "my own thought" or the devil's?
How are we to know if a particular thought is "my own thought" or the devil's?
All this goes on in our minds:
God speaks to our minds through His Holy Spirit, we have thoughts that are our own, and the devil speaks to our minds - it becomes quite a jumbled argument at times.
The point is this:
if we are going to defeat Satan in our daily life, it will have to be done in our minds.
The seed thoughts he (devil) plants there can take root, conceive, and finally produce sin (James 1:14,15).
It is in the mind that the battle is won or lost. If he gets our minds, sooner or later he gets all of us. As a person thinks in his heart, so he becomes.
Never get the idea you can allow your thought life to go wild without ever actually acting like you been fantasizing.
You can't, Sooner or later you will become what you think about.
Fight the devil off in your mind, and you'll win the battle in your daily walk.
