The Devil attacks us first in our thoughts: that’s the door through which he finds entrance. But thank God we can slam that door shut! In the hard places of trial, the Devil tries to put discouraging thoughts in our mind, and the one that has not learned this secret of renewing the mind will, as God’s Word says, soon faint in his mind. If our mind is the door through which the Devil finds entrance, then we can, by an act of our will, take our mind off such thoughts and put them on the Lord and His truth and His Word. It’s so vital that we have certain Scriptures memorized so that we can quickly wield the Sword of the Spirit when the Enemy attacks us. And soon you’ll be lifted out of the dark discouraging thoughts, and actually feel the transforming power of the Lord Jesus Christ renewing your mind. Try it! When the Enemy comes with these discouraging doubting thoughts, slam the door! Stay your mind on Christ. (Isa. 26:3) You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You (Mark 12:30) And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. (Phil. 2:5) Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.
