This Is Your Mind... This Is Your Mind in a Battle
Battlefield of the Mind For Teen's
by Joyce Meyer
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. —Ephesians 6:12
Are you feeling a little tired lately? Confused? Depressed? Kicked-around? It’s no wonder—you’re in a war. However, your war isn’t a conventional battle that can be fought with conventional weapons. Take a look at the scripture that begins this chapter. This warfare isn’t with other human beings. Not your arch nemesis at school. Not your teachers. Not your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend. Not even your parents. Your enemy is Satan himself, the ex-angel-turned-devil—and his demonic forces. (The Amplified version of the Bible calls them “master spirits.”) Satan’s coming after you with a carefully crafted plan of attack, one you might not even see coming. In fact, you might not even believe you’re in a war at all. That’s one of your enemy’s best tricks—deception. Satan is a liar. Jesus called him “the father of lies and of all that is false” (John 8:44 AMP). Here are some of his deceptive lines, which he’ll use as he tries to control your mind. How many of them have you heard, in one form or another? ■ You don’t need to listen to your parents, your pastor, your youth leaders, and all those other people who try to tell you how to live. I mean, look at ’em, those incompetent hypocrites. Look at all their flaws and inconsistencies. This is your life. Live it your way. ■ Drinking, drugs, and sex won’t really hurt you. All of those horror stories won’t happen to you. It’s just a big scare tactic. Adults just don’t want you to have any fun—even though they had plenty when they were your age.They just want to control you. ■ Do you really believe in “the devil”? Some red-skinned bald dude with a pointy tail and a pitchfork? An intelligent person like you? Get real—that’s a myth. There is no devil, and there is no hell. And, by the way, there is no God or heaven, either. “Right now” is all there is. So, get yours while you can. ■ Come on, admit it: You have doubts about God all the time. If God was real, why would He allow those doubts to creep up inside of your head? ■ If there really was a God who cared, would you feel as lonely as you do, as overwhelmed by life as you do, as powerless to change things?Have you ever felt like someone was peppering your mind with questions and concerns like these? That’s how Satan works. He plants all kinds of nagging thoughts, suspicions, and doubts in your mind. He moves slowly, according to his well-laid plans for you.
If you need help in this area, you can get it from the leadership at XTREME MPACT! Talk to one of your leaders this week! God won't fail you, He is right here with a plan to get you through this! You are not alone.
