Mind's issues

The mind continued

 

2nd Cor. 11:3 “but I fear lest somehow, as the serpent deceived

Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the

simplicity that is in Christ”.

 

Is the mind the enemy’s stronghold ... it surely must be so?

Unless we have the mind of Christ ... the flesh has hold of it.

We know how Satan works and what he has in (our) mind

so unless redeemed through the blood ... it’s blindness we inherit.

 

A relationship with the mind of man has been established with evil spirits.

To really make it clear indeed ... men are just their captives.

They impose their will through the minds ... of folks who just exist

and spread their poisonous thoughts ... to other weak ones who are helpless.

 

Sin was first manifested ... in the search of knowledge.

The first issue at hand ... was the difference between good and evil.

In that the mind of man ... seems to be related to Satan

and whatever is produced there ... has the influence of the devil.

 

It seems that in all communications between human and satanic forces,

occur in the organ of thought ... where a place of rest is sought.

Satan uses flesh so often ... to get consent or endorsement

in each instant presented to the mind ... where the battle is fought.

 

The mind of man is at enmity with God ... that seems so plain to see.

The original definition of repentance ... was a change of mind in deed.

“God granted repentance to life” ... to all that believed.

The Holy Spirit fell upon all, who heard ... the word of God so preached.

 

Acts 11:18 “When they heard these things they became silent;

and they glorified God saying, then God has also granted

repentance to life to the Gentiles”.
