Chapter 1. The Mind is the battlefield



Hi Friends, This is our first time book study thru the internet, I am so glad that God put a great people like you so I can learn from you. Please freely pour out your knowledges and wisdoms in our comment section. so We can grow together. Without any delay, let's just talk about it.

The first chapter of this book talk about how important is our mind.


Two important points in the first chapter are: The way we think about ourselves, and how the past experiences will bring a huge impact to our future.


Study case: Mary and John.


The author is give a summary of the situation :


1. We are engaged in a war.


I believe that We are engaged in a war that "no eyes can seen. " It is not like a terrorism, or anykind of war. But The bible said that they are mighty before God for the overhtrow and destruction of strongholds."


my personal experience: I experienced a lot of battle sometimes hard to tell the truth, or not lying. Eventhough it is just a simple thing but Satan is trying to put a aproach in our lives, so he will easily enter to our lives. Remember: Sin will open a way for Satan.


2. Our Enemy is Satan.


3. Our mind is the battlefield.


Sometimes, our mind is working unconsiously, It is not set by what I want to think, but they are automaticaly works in a way that I do even not want it. In a way, It is hard to control our mind if we never learn to control it. But How can we control it???


4. The Devil diligently set up the stronghold in our mind.


Therefore, not only one time temptation, but many temptations can come and rule in our mind. It is really hard to deal. But thank you that Jesus always has the way out.!


5. He does it thru strategy.


I know why Many times Satam won over people? because he knows the strategy. He've been around since Adam and eve were there in the Eden Garden. We need God's strategy as well.


6. He is in no hurry.


"Patience" is the word that easy to say but hard to do it. We must learn to be patience in waiting God's timing to work perfectly in our lives.


Admittenly, Satans have strategies but I believe that God always help us with the way out. As His children, I believe we can win the battlefeild of our mind. As long as God rules in us, We are stronger than man's strength


The way out:


1. Roman 12:2 " RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND." I am pretty sure this topic is what we are going to learn thru entire of this book. How to renew our mind?


2. John 8:31. By the WORD, we can renewed our mind.


3. Luke 4:18 Know who we are in God.


4. 1 Chorintian 10:13 by Knowing that God is faithful to us.

I have an idea, how about we print those four verses and meditate on those night and day, and night and days????
