Steps to Spiritual Freedom
Part 4 Winning The Battle For Your Mind

Sunday, Oct 25, 2009: By Pastor Edward J. Thomas

Today message is the last in the series Living In Total Spiritual Freedom and we will be exploring the inner circle of your life. The mind emotions and will. We will be looking at some very powerful concepts and you will need to listen very carefully to all that we will go over. I will be touching on issues that are very personal and may deal with you very personally. If that happens do not stop listening to the rest of the message the points I will be bring up will help you grow into the mature Christian that God has called you to be.

So let’s get started.

When we as believing Christians learn to resolve our personal and spiritual conflicts through repentance and faith in God we will experience Spiritual freedom in Christ. God has established a way for us to take control of our lives, yet most people will spend more time and energy contemplating their own plans on how to live their life than they will seeking God’s plan for them.

People will spent thousands of dollars to find answers, yet it is the truth that will set them free and the truth is free. Free to all who will come to God. It is also very unfortunate that many Christians today are looking for help for their life in everything but God and his Word.

James 1:8
8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

When you continue to waver between God’s plan and your plan, your spiritual growth will be stunted, your maturity in Christ will be blocked, and your daily experiences as a Christian will be marked by disappointment and defeat. Where do our plans and thoughts come from? Let’s look at three places.

First
your flesh still generates worldly thoughts and ideas. Your flesh is that part of you that was trained to live independently of God. Before your salvation you where separated from God and where ignorant of his ways and determined to succeed and survive by your own resources and natural abilities. When we where born again we became a new creature but no one pressed the “Clear Button” in our memory. You brought with you all the old plans, habits, and thought patterns of the flesh.

Second,
We are constantly being bombarded by this world. The movies, TV, books, magazines, advertisements, and just the totally worldly environment we live in are dominated by worldly plans, and worldly thinking.

Thirdly
Satan has opposed the Word of God sense the garden of Eden. This father of lies will tempt, accuse and deceive God’s children just as he did Eve if we let him. As if that where not enough false prophets teachers, mediums and psychics will lead many astray.

But I have good news for you. God has provided all we need to win the battle for our minds.

2 Corinthians 10:3 – 5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
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;

The weapons in this passage are different from the defensive armor described in Ephesians 6. The picture here is similar to that of a battering ram that is designed to tear down strongholds. What are these strongholds of the mind? And how have they been raised up against the knowledge of God? Paul states in

Romans 12:2
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.

The point is we all were conformed to this world, and we can still be shaped by it. Even as Christians we can still listen to the wrong music, watch the wrong programs, have the wrong friends, and think the wrong thoughts. We will still be tempted to live our lives independently of God because we are living in a fallen world.

Now listen to this first key. Temptation always comes by way of a thought, and the key to resisting temptations is to take the initial thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:13
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

If you don’t take captive the initial thought you will probably lose the battle to temptation. We need to take the way of escape the moment our thoughts are contrary to truth and righteousness. If you begin to mull over a tempting thought in your mind, your emotions will be affected, and the likely hood of yielding to that temptation is increased. It is a fact that our emotions are a product of our thoughts. We can’t directly control our feelings, but we can control what we think. That is why the mind is the control center of all our activities. You don’t do anything with out first thinking about it.

Proverbs 23:7
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Many Christians don’t feel saved; don’t feel God loves them, because of old thoughts raised against the knowledge of God. When we tear down those strongholds and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ, our emotions will begin to conform to the reality of God’s love. If we choose to believe the lie, our emotions will take us further down temptations trail.

Renewing Your Mind.

Do we have to remain victims of these mental strongholds for the rest of our lives? Absolutely not! If you have been trained wrong, you can be retrained! If you have learned to believe lies, you can now choose to believe the truth! If you have had your mental computer programmed with the wrong commands, you can be reprogrammed with God’s instructions! Thank God!! But you have to want to have your mind renewed. Our lives will be transformed as we renew our minds through, the hearing of God’s Word, Bible studies, and personal discipleship.

Learning to know God as a loving Father and yourself as His His child is a starting point. That is why it is so important for you to keep going over and over the “I AM” list. You are not just up against the world system in which you were raised and the life style you chose

You are also up against Satan who is scheming to fill your mind with thoughts that are apposed to God’s plan for you.Satan’s strategy is to introduce his thoughts and ideas into your mind and deceive you into believing they are yours.

It happened to King David. Satan “provoked David to number Israel”

1 Chronicles 21:1
1 And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.

God had forbidden the numbering of Israel, and David knew that yet David acted on Satan’s idea. Did Satan walk up to David and say “I want you to number Israel”? I don’t think so. David was a godly man and he wouldn’t have obeyed Satan. I believe Satan slipped the thought, the idea of numbering Israel, into David’s mind. It probably started out as “I need to know how large my army is: I think I will count the troupes”. Now I’m sure David thought that this was his own idea, however we know that scripture says otherwise. Ananias and Sapphira might have thought it was their idea to withhold some of their offering. If they knew it was Satan’s idea they probably wouldn’t have held back anything, yet Peter asked “why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?” Acts 5:3

If you Expose the lie you will win the battle.

Satan is a defeated foe; therefore his power is limited, but he still has the ability to deceive “the whole world” Satan has no authority or power over you except what you give to him when you are deceived into believing his lies.

To win the battle for your mind, you:

First
must be “transformed by the renewing of your mind”. How do you renew your mind? By filling it with God’s Word! To win the battle for your mind you must let the peace of God rule in your heart, and let the Word of God richly dwell within you. As you continue to fill you mind with God’s Word, you will equip yourself to recognized Satan’s lies and take them captive.

Second
Peter directs us to prepare our minds for action. Do away with fruitless fantasy. To imagine yourself doing something without ever doing it is dangerous. Scripture always tells us to use our minds actively, never passively, and to direct our thoughts outwardly, never inward. The devil will seek to bypass your active thinking mind, but God works through it.

Third
Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

Practice threshold, first frame thinking. Evaluate every thought by the truth by the Word of God and don’t even conceder tempting, accusing, or lying thoughts. Choose the truth and keep choosing it until it becomes the normal pattern for your life.

Fourth
Turn to God when you are having anxious thoughts.

Philippians 4:6
6 Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

By doing so you are acknowledging God and exposing your thoughts to his truth. Your double mindedness will dissolve and the peace of God shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ just as it says in;

Philippians 4:7
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Fifth
Assume your responsibility to choose the truth and commit your self to live accordingly.

Philippians 4:8 – 9
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, think on these things.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Your emotions play a major role in the process of renewing your mind. In a sense, your emotions are a product of your thoughts. If you are not thinking right, if your mind is not being renewed, if your are not understanding God and his Word properly, it will show up in your emotional life. As an example let’s look at Lamentations 3, and notice Jeremiah’s expressions of despair as he wrongly perceives that God is against him.

Lamentations 3:1 – 6
1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
3 Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
6 He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.

Listen to his feelings of entrapment and fear.

Lamentations 3:7 – 11, & 18
7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.

18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

What was Jeremiah’s problem? What he believed about God wasn’t true. Jeremiah wasn’t thinking right or interpreting his circumstances right, so he wasn’t feeling right.

Now look at

Lamentations 3:19 – 26
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

What a turn around! Did God change? Did Jeremiah’s circumstances change? NO! What he thought about God changed and his emotions followed. You are not shaped as much by your environment as you are by your perceptions of it. Life’s events don’t determine who you are, God determines who you are, and your interpretation of life’s events based on who you think you are determines how you will handle the pressures of life. I have said it before and I will say it again, we have very little control over our emotions, but we do have control over our own thoughts, and our thoughts determine our feelings and our responses. That is why it is so important that you fill your mind with the knowledge of God’s Word. need to see life from God’s perspective and then respond accordingly.

Remember if what you believe does not reflect God’s truth, then what you feel does not reflect reality. Look at it this way. Suppose you where in the process of getting your dream house and the final decision was in the hand of the lending company. You come home from work and find a message on your answering machine. You have just been told that you do not qualify for the loan and that they are sorry they can not help you. What would you be feeling? How do you think you would react when your agent comes to the door? Sad angry, mad, crying. You would not be acting all happy because your emotions are all up set because you believe you have been turndown for the loan on your home. The agent is all smiles and excited and asks what is wrong you should be happy you are getting your dream home. You then find out that the first message was a mistake and there is a second message that apologies for the first and congratulates you on your new home, and now you are jumping for joy and all happy. What changed? You heard the truth, and that made all the difference in how you felt and reacted to others. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Our emotions will then be the emotions of a believer of the truth.

The order of the scriptures seems to be this;
1 You will know the truth
2 You will Believe the truth
3 You will Live according to Faith in the truth
4 And your emotions will be the product of your trust in God and obedience to His Word.

God asked Cain in

Genesis 4:6 – 7
6 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Christ stated in

John 13:17
17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

In other words, you don’t feel your way into good behavior. You behave your way into good feelings. Your emotions are to your soul what your physical feelings are to your body. If you didn’t feel emotions your soul would be in trouble. Emotions are God’s indicators to let you know what is going on inside. Just as you respond to the warnings of physical pain, you need to learn to respond to your emotional signals. Let’s use the analogy of a warning light on your car. When one comes on you can respond by putting,

1 Duck tape over it and ignore it,
2 You can smash it with a hammer,
3 Or you can look under the hood and find out what is wrong and fix it.

You have the same three ways of responding to your emotions.

Suppression.
You can respond by covering them up, ignoring them, or stifling them.

Indiscriminate expression.
You can respond by thoughtlessly lashing out, giving someone a piece of your mind,or flying off the handle.

Acknowledgment.
Or you can look inside your life and see what is going on.

Duck tape suppression
Suppression is an unhealthy response to your emotions.

Psalms 32:3 – 4
3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

Matthew Poole in his commentary on these verses states;

V 3 “ When I kept silence, to wit, from a full and open confession of my sins, as appears from ver. 5, and from pouring out my soul to God in serious and fervent prayers for pardon and peace. Whilst I concealed my sins,or smothered my fears, and stifled the workings of my own conscience. My bones waxed old; my spirits failed, and the strength of my body decayed. through my roaring all the day long; because of the continual horrors of my conscience, and sense of God’s wrath, wherewith I was yet rather oppressed and overwhelmed, than brought to thorough repentance.”

V 4 “Thy hand; Thy afflicting hand bring my sins to remembrance, and filling me with thy terrors for them. My very radical moisture was in a manner dried up, and wasted through excessive fear and sorrows.

David is not saying that God takes himself out of our reach however when extreme circumstances loom larger to you than God, it will not take long for your emotions to overcome you, and you will end up being driven by your emotions. It’s important to be honest with God while you can because if you bottle up your feelings for too long they will dominate you and drive your life, (usually crazy).

The Hammer Of Indiscriminate Expressions.
Another unhealthy way to respond to emotions is to thoughtlessly express everything you feel. Indiscriminately telling anybody and everybody exactly how you feel may seem some what healthy for you, but it is unhealthy for others around you. “There I’m glad I got that off my chest”. But in the process you just destroyed your wife, husband, child, brother, sister, or friend.

James warned;

James 1:19 – 20
19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

And Paul said;

Ephesians 4:26
26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

The Openness Of Acknowledgment.
David was honest about expressing his feelings before God. Just listen to his hurt in this passage.

Psalms 109:1 – 13
1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

That’s just how David felt about his enemies, yet he ended with this

Psalms 109:30 – 31
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

If you come to prayer time feeling angry, depressed or frustrated and mouth a bunch of pious words as if God doesn’t know your heart or how you really feel do you think God will be pleased? Not unless He has changed his mind about hypocrisy. Jesus told his disciples;

Matthew 5:20
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Acknowledging your emotions as a real person is essential. Yet we know we shouldn’t let off steam just anywhere in front of just anybody. That’s just wrong, and you run the risk of hurting others more than you could ever help yourself. And never forget that Christ said “When you did it to the least of these you did it unto me”. You need some one who you can be open and honest with and who will hold you accountable for Godly, righteous healthy emotions and behavior.

Healing our past Emotions

Things in our past can still cause great pain. However you are a child of God and no event or person, good or bad, can rob you of that relationship. Yet many let things that have happened in the past prevent us from having the spiritual freedom that really belongs to us. Suppose you were sitting in your home and someone drove by and threw something at your house. It did some damage to the siding but you never found out who did it. How long would you let that bother you? Suppose the object went through the window and damaged a piece on your nice furniture. How long would you let that bother you? Suppose it hit you and broke you arm? How long would you let that bother you? If I kept making the tragedy a little worse each time, is there a point when you would say “That did it. That stepped over the line and that will bother me the rest of my life.” I don’t think there is such a point from God’s perspective. Just look at Job. I don’t believe God wants anything in our past to have that kind of control or power over us. Now I need you to understand this, God doesn’t fix our past, He does set us free from it.

Bad Things Do Happen To Good People.

All of us have some hurtful, traumatic experiences in our past that have scarred us emotionally. And something as simple as a name can prompt an emotional response. If your kind loving grandfather was named Bill, you probably have a favorable emotional reaction to the name Bill. However if some one named Bill hurt you deeply, physically, or emotionally your initial reaction to Bill is probably negative. And if some one would suggest that you name you new born son Bill, you would probably say something like “over my cold dead body”.

Mentioning a name, referring to an event, or a certain “time”, may push a button that connects them or you to the past. Just touching that emotional core may bring tears to a person’s eyes, or fear, flight, or anger. Most people try to control these emotions by avoiding any people or event that may bush the button. Something in your past is still unresolved and therefore has a hold over you.

How does God intend for you to resolve your past experiences? In two ways;

First
understand that you are no longer a product of your past. You are a new creation in Christ. People are not in bondage to past traumas, however they are in bondage to the lies they believe about themselves,about God, and about how to live as a result of the trauma. That is why truth sets you free. And the truth is as a Christian you are literally a new creature in Christ. Old things, including the traumas of your past, are “Passed away”, washed under the blood of Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

We have all been victimized, but whether we remain victims is up to us. Now we can be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Past memories experiences and traumas are still imbedded in our minds when we become a new creature in Christ, but, in spite of them, we can crucify the flesh and choose to walk in the spirit.

Galatians 5:24 – 25
24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

You may be struggling with the Question “Where was God when all this was going on?” I know I asked that question many times in my life especially during my experiences in Viet Nam. But God was there and more importantly He has already sent “His only begotten son” to redeem you from your past, and He is here right now desiring to set you free from your past.

The Second step in resolving past conflicts is to forgive those who have hurt, abused, rejected and offended you.

Why should you forgive those who have hurt you in the past?

First, forgiveness is required by God.

Matthew 6:14 - 15
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

We must base our relationships with others on the same criteria on which God bases his relationship with us; love, acceptance and forgiveness.

Matthew 18:21 – 35
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Second Forgiveness is necessary to avoid Satan’s trap of bondage. Un-forgiveness is the number one avenue Satan uses to gain a hold over believers lives

2 Corinthians 2:11
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Third
Forgiveness is required of all believers to be like Christ.

Ephesians 4:31 – 2
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Let’s look at forgiveness of a minute. Forgiveness is not forgetting. Forgetting may take place some time after you have forgiven, but it is never a means to forgiveness. Forgiveness does not mean you must tolerate sin. Forgiving someone doesn’t mean you become a doormat to the person’s continual sin. It is okay to forgive other’s past sins, and at the same time, take a stand against future sins. Forgiveness does not seek revenge, or demand repayment for past suffering. “You mean I’m just supposed to let them off the hook?” Yes, you let them off your hook but understand that God does not let them off His. You may feel like exacting justice, but you are not an impartial judge. God is the just judge who will make every thing right in the end.

Romans 12:19
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

“But where is the justice for me?” It’s in the crucifixion of Christ. Christ died for your sins, my sins, and there sins. Forgiveness means resolving to live with the consequences of other people’s sins. In reality you will have to live with the consequences of others sins whether you forgive that person or not. For example, imagine someone in here, coming up to you and saying; “I have been gossiping about you all over town, I realize I was wrong, I’m very sorry, would you forgive me?” You can’t retract the gossip any easer than you can put toothpaste back in the tube. You will have to live with the consequence of that gossip whether you forgive that person or not. We are all living with the consequences of someone else’s sin. Our only real choice is whether we will live with those consequences in the bondage of bitterness or in the freedom of forgiveness. When you say things like “I can’t forgive, you have no idea how badly they hurt me”. The reality is they are still hurting you. What you need to do is stop the pain. Forgiveness is what sets us free from the past. What is to be gained in forgiveness is freedom. You don’t heal in order to forgive. You forgive in order to heal. You do not forgive others for their sakes, you do it for yours. Take a good hard look into your life and practice active forgiveness. Your emotional health depends on it.

The last part of this Sunday’s message deals with:
Judging others.

Romans 14:4
4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

This verse is talking about judging another persons character. Before God each of us is responsible for our own character.

Philippians 2:3
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

This verse speaks of needs. Before God each of us is responsible for meeting each others needs. As human beings instead of assuming responsibility for our own character and devoting ourselves to developing our character to reflect Christ, we rip apart the character of others. Instead of looking out for the needs of others we are selfishly absorbed with our own needs. We need to stop yielding to Satan’s provoking accusing ways, of criticizing each other’s character and selfishly focus on our own needs by bring those thoughts into captivity. Because if we don’t we will not be able to live in Holy harmony with each other. Just think what kind of families, fellowship, and church we would have if we all assumed responsibility for our own character in Christ and sought to meet the needs of those with whom we live worship and love? If you are fighting the battle for the renewing of your mind, then you are not letting God be God in your life. God has already fought this battle and won. All we need to do is put these principles in to practice “bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” then we will not only win the battle for our minds but we will be free from all of Satan’s changes and fetters that have held us all in spiritual bondage for far too long.

Expect a miracle in your life Church.
