ATTACKS AGAINST THE MIND: DON’T YOU DARE GIVE UP!

A dear friend called me with a prayer request for her mom a few weeks ago. She was unresponsive and later was decided she needed to be in a nursing home for total health care because of what appeared to be dementia.

Her daughter asked the physicians to take another look at tests that were done due to a little change in her mom after they removed a very small amount of fluid from her brain. She had an aneurysm 19 years ago and had a shunt put in that was obviously causing another problem currently.

The physician told my friend there was absolutely no way possible that removing such a small amount of fluid from her mom’s brain that there could be change in her mental state and even be noticeable. However, that is exactly what happened.

The physician removed more fluid from her mom’s brain and she became responsive and started to improve. As I began to think about her mom improving and starting to walk and live again, I knew that is exactly what the enemy of our souls tries to do to us in life.

Satan tries to use circumstances to apply pressure to cause people to give up, become discouraged, depressed, and to drive people to suicide in some cases through the feeling of hopelessness. You can rest assured that when pressure is coming from all sides, there is something new coming on the horizon.

I have good news. There is hope in Jesus Christ.

I was watching a movie the other night and realized that the evil people that had taken hostages in the White House (movie: WHITE HOUSE DOWN) were aggravated and ran out of a room when the good guys in the movie activated the sprinkler system that started spraying water everywhere.

We must learn as believers in Jesus Christ that the enemy tries to get us discouraged or distracted to keep us from saying what God says about us. Satan tries to wear people out and wear them down—emotionally, physically, and financially. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

When we pray the Word of God with our voices, we have the power to bring heaven to earth. Our heavenly sprinkler system is activated to bring help and to change the atmosphere and to run the devil out of our lives.

The Bible says that when we pray the Word of God, angels hearken to the voice of the Word of God. Psalm 103:1-22 praises God’s sovereignty over all His creation, yet it also shows His awareness and care of us as individuals.

That is great news my friends.

There is something to be thankful for in life—God knows us by name and He goes to extreme measures to care for His own. Those convinced that God rules have a distinct advantage over those who believe things happen randomly. Nothing escapes God’s all seeing eye. Don’t give up today. Activate heaven’s angels—by praying the Word of God.

We must renew our minds in the Word of God—because that is where the enemy attacks.

With many years of ministry, I have come to learn there are three types of Christians. Many simply receive salvation but don’t realize there is more in Jesus Christ. The second type is the Christian who received salvation and moves to the place of surrender and allows Jesus to be Lord of their life and starts to grow.

The third type of Christian is the one who has been saved, knows Jesus as Lord, and moves to listening to the LORD through the Holy Spirit and obeying His leading and teachings. We are all on a journey of faith.

If you are being attacked in your mind or in any other area, there is more to experience in Jesus Christ. You may be experiencing attack in your marriage, your family or some other relationship, your health, business, or it may be a friend. Choose to activate the Word of God in your life and know that even a small amount of the Water of God’s Word will bring change and give you hope for full recovery of all. It brings new life just like a flower that begins to bloom.

God’s Word says, “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint” (Jeremiah 31:25).

Like my friend’s mom who is learning to live again—choose life today.
