The mind is the battleground in this life since Satan gained access to it in the garden. The mind was for man to fellowship with and receive revelation from God, ever learning of His ways (hence it’s immense potential capacity), God intended to have sole access but Satan penetrated mans mind with the arrow that questioned Gods Word – “hath God said?”.
The Mind Is The Battleground
Through the cross God not only covered sin but also reconciled man to himself by renewing the spirit of man – the new birth, and providing for the saved mans body and mind thru’ healing and deliverance in this life – the deeper life. God has chosen to reside in that most corrupt area of man, his heart, setting forth deliverance from there.
The World And The Word

From the moment of birth I have been surrounded by a world of sin and corruption, subject to negative parental influences and subject to binding ancestral legacies, and so I have been sitting week after week under a message that is fundamentally about deliverance. Much of this deliverance is centred around wrong thinking majoring on the negative and opposed to God’s promises and God is setting the captives free through the anointing and revelation of His Word. God is getting to my heart and when He gets to my heart He gets to my faith, these are mysteriously connected and intertwined.
The sin and disease prevalent today is a result of what man has sown over the centuries, and our only means of preservation is in that spiritual ark. God is a God who provides but in that provision we have to do it His way. There is but one way to freedom and for God’s provision to be worked into our lives, it is a narrow way – a way that man in his pride will not go. The broad way is Satan’s biggest deception over the religious world.
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. Spirits attack the mind, every thought opposed to God's standard or Word is probably a spirit and we will eventually take on that which we entertain or dwell upon. The mind is a field into which I choose to sow bad seed or Good. Do not entertain the negative else it will bring in depression and oppression. Persistent thoughts opposed to God's word are 'open doors' behind which a satanic power operates; the closing of a door (called deliverance) often enables healing, God has to get mans mind right before healing can take place.
Saturate The Mind With The Word

Saturation of my mind with God’s seed is a vital principal in my deliverance; my mind must continually be open to receive an overflowing of truth to provide access for God to work. As soon as I wake up this renewing process must begin – remember it’s a battle – the enemy wants to take hold of your attitude and thinking right there and then – but you have a choice.
Confess “this is the day I walk with God” else the enemy will take hold of your thinking right there. Sing choruses in the bathroom; come to meetings believing that God will flood me with His Word; spend quality time casting down the negative. The only way to expose the tares is by saturation with God’s seed.
God is working in my heart to change it from stone to flesh. A stony heart will not want to cast down wrong thoughts but rather to entertain them to gratify flesh and pride, allowing them to play theatrically on and in the mind. Come clean in brokenness, confess it as opposed to God and an abomination in His sight and believe in His promise to change my heart and bring deliverance from Mt Zion in the last days.
The Renewed Mind Is In Tune With God
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ... Once God's grace has worked in me that hate for wrong thoughts they may be evicted or starved out as necessary and replaced by a flow of faith in those areas, to the end that all thoughts are obedient to Christ.
Romans 12:1 ¶I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
My mind is to be renewed in line with my renewed spirit and my delivered heart of flesh. Then I will be able to discern God’s will in these last days. My mind must be delivered to receive the perfect will of God. All doubt, fear and unbelief, these demonic forces speaking paranoia to the mind, must be removed for me to hear what God is saying.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, meditate on these things.
Deliverance in the mind facilitates meditation which is essential for my walk with God, waiting on Him in stillness. Through meditation on the positive I am kept balanced and sane under powerful external influences. Mental attitudes play a big part in my physical and mental health.
Conclusion
I have to decide what I want to think. Can I believe that God can take control of my thought life? From this I will become free to flow out to others.
