The Battle Is In The Mind "Controlling Your Thought Life"

The Battle Is In the Mind –“Controlling Your ThoughtLife”
    
     Remember at the beginning of the year everyone had New Year Resolutions.  Well we are almost three months into the New Year 2012 and how many have already given up?  How many of us have wandered away from what we said we would not do?  How many of us or right on track with what we were planning at the beginning of the year? It really doesn’t matter how you answered these questions but it is important that you understand how your goals or either achieved or unachieved.  The Battle Is In The Mind.”
    If you want to understand the battle for your mind you must understand that your thought life is always under attack.  We have to learn to discern where the thought comes from. Whatever we consistently think on, we will act out.  What does satan want you to act out?

Matthew 15:18
“But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile a man.”

3 Keys to Managing Your Thought Life
1.       If you control your thought life you can control your behavior. (The body is the servant of the mind)
2.      Thoughts effect our emotions.  Thoughts and emotions create desires.  Our decisions are based on our desires.
3.      Satan uses the eye gate, the ear gate, and your relationships to affect your thought life.  His goals are to desensitize you spiritually and rob you of your appetite for God and the things of God.

There are three sources for thoughts.
1.       Man-Human reasoning/logic
2.       God-Will always lead to life, wellness, and productivity
3.       Satan-always lead to death or some form of destruction
      One key thing we all must do is Control our Thought life..  It is up to us to identify and eliminate the access to the enemy. (satan)
