A lot of us might think once we get saved we're okay and we could make it into God's kingdom. We often say, "well I'm a good person, I obey my parents and I attend church every Sunday." But that is not even half of the walk with Jesus Christ.There is an invisible war for our minds, a war that determines whether you will be with Jesus Christ or Satan.
Ephesians 6:12" For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places".
We have to reach a point in our lives when we realize within ourselves,that we are NOT too young, to understand the real truth of living a Christian life and to follow Jesus.
I notice sometimes, we often over look certain things that are unusual in our lives and we either ignore it or do nothing about it.
We have to start microscopically examine our surroundings as well as our emotions in order to guard our minds from the" flaming arrows of the evil one" Do you ever notice sometimes you feel either depress, angry or sinful thoughts will invade your mind?
What cause those sinful thoughts and weird feelings? They are evil spirits!
*Evil spirits tending to cause harm, to destroy your mind, and to use your body for perversion.
The Invisible War is in our "Mind:(in a human or other conscious being) the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, judges, etc.: the processes of the human mind".
Our minds are very sensitive. It's like a computer that tracks thoughts, memories and even images. It is very important to direct our minds away from sin and hold it captive to heavenly thoughts.
As we periodically virus scan our computers, we must periodically virus scan our minds, clearing it from evil spirits and downloading the WORD of God. We then can meditate on it day and night. Furthermore, Praying and fasting for God's wisdom, so we could understand what He has freely given us.
( 1 Corinthians 2-16). "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ."
We have to stand in the Lord and his Mighty power. Putting on the full "Armor Of God" (Ephesians 6:10-18) We need the Armor of God to go against evil spirits, to overcome them! This is Spiritual warfare,The Invisible War.
*Spiritual warfare-The Devil and Demons attempt to destroy your walk with Jesus Christ. "There focus is to get your mind back on (Earthly Things)."
1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my dear brothers,stand firm. Let nothing move you..."
James 4:7"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"
God came down from heaven. He died on the cross for our sins. He gave us a way out from destruction. Once we receive him as our lord and savior, He will help us and guide us. The more we seek Him, the more we will find Him. We will become a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come"
Lets make a bold stand to follow Jesus Christ, and separate from loving the world.
1john 2:15 " Do not love the world or anything in the world.If anyone loves the world,the love of the father is not in him
Lets Pick A Side!
We need more young soldiers to step out of the crowd. We need to guard our minds and resist the devil schemes.
This is an invisible War for our souls and minds. We are Never too young to serve Jesus Christ and join God's Army!
