KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Th 2:2 KJV” That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.”

The condition described in today’s study is those people who have not renewed their minds with the scriptures or have not taken guard over their minds, to resist all unscriptural suggestions.

Devils aim at causing the minds of men to be troubled. A troubled mind becomes grounds for all kinds of strange reactions. These actions are normally wrong and result in very serious effects on individuals. Remember the thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. He takes advantage of people’s weaknesses. and assaults their minds.

How do most people develop troubled minds? One may have a troubled mind because of unpleasant information or event that has occurred. It may come from a contrary thought that entered the mind. Many times, such thoughts are baseless lies. They may also be unidentified impressions that settle in the subconscious mind. Such thoughts or impressions cast a disturbing sentiment on the mind, which keeps recurring. These thoughts get the individual very disturbed, leading him into a state of passivity. In this state, he does not have any specific thing on his mind. This person loses control of his mind. The mind assumes a state of emptiness. It is at this point that a demon just enters.

I will draw a near similarity to explain why devils stretch an individual’s mind into this passive state. In certain practices of yoga, they go into meditation and repeat certain words in order to achieve a blank mind. It is this blank-mindedness, that makes them gain the ability to cause things to levitate, or do other supernatural feels. They call it mind over matter, but this is not true. It is Spirits that gain access to the individual and start doing those feats. A passive state is a goal of the demons. If the mind gets empty, they would take charge and enter the individual. TO BE CONTINUED.

CONFESSION

My mind is my responsibility to protect myself from evil lying devils who may want to take charge of my mind. I keep myself free from them by allowing the word of God only to fill my mind.

THOUGHT: AN UNPROTECTED MIND, IS A PLAYGROUND FOR DEVILS.
