We need to have a mind of peace in these last days that we live in. As believers in Jesus Christ we have been given ALL we need to overcome all evil, including every oppressive evil thought that tries to usurp authority over our mind! Our spirit, soul, and body belong to Jesus so the devil has NO right to us, but demons try to take a place and usurp authority if we let them!
You are a spirit, have a soul ( mind and emotions), and live in a body. When you are saved, born again, Jesus is in your spirit, and when you are filled with the Holy Spirit He fills your spirit as you yield your tongue to Him and speak languages (tongues) as the Spirit gives you utterance. It is up to you to do what God says with your mind and body!
As you begin your walk of faith, or as you continue your walk of faith it becomes evident that believing on and receiving Jesus did not make us perfect! There is a process of sanctification by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit where we go from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord. We are to present our bodies to the Lord a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to the Lord, and renew our minds.
The Word of God says that in the flesh dwells no good thing and the mind is the area where demons of oppression that are in the flesh try to come up and speak negativity, fear, hate, failure, doubt, unbelief, etc. When demons speak in the mind it registers as a thought. We need to realize that these negative unwanted thoughts are definitely from wrong spirits and they know they spoke them so to just ignore them or pretend we didn’t have them does NOT help anything except now they have a measure of control over the mind. Trespassers need to be discerned, bound, and CAST OUT!
Take authority IMMEDIATELY in the name of Jesus and SAY IT OUT LOUD as demons only know the thoughts they put in the mind but CANNOT read your own thoughts! We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, and the WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY. Because we are redeemed from sin by the blood of Jesus we have the authority and power to bind these demons of oppressive and obsessive thoughts and tell them to: “GET OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS!” In fact I could bind their voices, tell them to SHUT UP AND GET OUT. They HAVE TO OBEY YOU, not because you are a spiritual giant, but simply because of the power of the name of Jesus!
The one trying to play mind games is the devil, and he does it by demons, especially those still in the flesh. When we cast out demons it is a quickening of sanctification. What may have taken years of dead reckoning happens in moments of time! Again, we have to do something with our mind and body. It is not automatic!
God says to think on pure things, just, lovely, and if their be virtue and praise think on those things! (Philippians 4:8) Anything and everything contrary to the Word of God and His promises and peace is the thief coming to rob, kill, and destroy! God said to bring DOWN every thought, imagination, and high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of the Lord into captivity. In other words you bring it down and bind it in the name of Jesus, stomp it and drive it out! YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR YOU WHEN HE CLEANSED YOU FROM SIN AND ALL YOUR PAST! 2 Corinthians 10.
We all need to get MAD at the devil and demons and do something about all the trash they have been dumping in our minds! Think about it: they are trying to rob peace from you. The peace Jesus died to give you…. PERFECT PEACE in your heart and mind! Isaiah 26:3 says God will keep you in PERFECT PEACE when your mind is stayed on Him because you trust in Him. PERFECT PEACE….NOT partial peace some of the time!
In 2 Timothy 1:7 God says to you: “God has NOT given you a spirit of fear, but of POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND MIND!” So when we listen to thoughts of any kind of fear or let those thoughts stay in our mind, we are listening to a spirit of fear speaking to us. It registers as a thought that is taking away the SOUND mind and making it wishy washy, oppressed, and unstable!
So here is what to do when this happens: First realize this is NOT a thought YOU chose to have, for this is a tormenting spirit vexing your mind with thoughts of present or future calamity! Who in their right mind would chose to have a mind tormented and twisted with oppressive, destructive thoughts of cancer, accidents, pain, death, morbidity, destruction, arthritis, crippling diseases, heartache, etc.?
Second: Address every demon that is behind all the negative thoughts OUT LOUD and say: I bind all spirits oppressing my mind and I bind all spirits behind these negative thoughts, you GO OUT NOW IN THE BAME OF JESUS! I take control of my mind by the Word of God and the Holy Spirit and I will think on the good things, and virtuous things, the lovely things, the pure things, and I will meditate on the Word of God and will have good success! Then praise the Lord and God will inhabit that praise and scatter your enemies and peace will abide! Thank you Jesus, praise you Lord; there is deliverance flowing right now and God is setting people free from years of torment as you reach out to Him now in faith believing! God can do miracles of deliverance and we will go free from many spirits and bondage and torment in moments of time, even if they have been there at work for years!
BE MADE WHOLE RIGHT NOW…BE LOOSED…BE FREE IN THE NAME OF JESUS! This is the hour of your deliverance and no evil will be able to stand before you!
