The Sound Mind – 2 Timothy 1:8 – Having a sound thought does not mean you have a sound mind.The devil wants your mind to be intoxicated to make you see things as darker or worse than they are and feel terrible about your life whereas your life is not actually that bad. You don’t have a bad life you just had a bad day. Sometimes, the enemy intoxicates our minds with our problems and it becomes inflated – we begin to exaggerate the facts. When Jesus comes, your finances and family might not be right yet but the first thing Jesus wants to do is bring you to a place where your mind is right.

This doesn’t mean he finally had a right thought but the dominant thoughts were right. This is not just talking about a thought but a state of a mental atmosphere.

The Right Mind – remember the demon possessed man in Mark 5:15.

"Demons we cast out but strongholds we cast down." Click To Tweet Demons come out by the anointing of the Holy Spirit but strongholds are broken down through the Holy Scriptures, being in a community, developing habits of worship, training your thoughts and turning them over to God, and beginning to work with your mind. Demons come and leave quickly but strongholds are broken down slowly. Demons we cast out but strongholds we cast down. That is what the Bible calls strongholds and the Bible wants us to cast down strongholds. Sometimes the enemy uses our past experiences to build strongholds in our minds so that even if we are no longer in those situations, we are still living in the residue, the painful consequences of being in those situations. Today, I want to equip you and also pray that God will begin to bring healing, not just to our body but also to our mind. There is a war that has been declared on your mind. "The enemy is the architect of the mental glitch." Click To Tweet This is the experience of some people in life when their mind controls their life, instead of their spirit controlling their mind. A person sometimes can have both legs, both arms, a retirement fund, a government job, a car, a house but mentally, they can’t function.

The enemy is the architect of the mental glitch. You are stuck in there and the Bible says “think on these things” but it feels like your thinking is just thinking by itself. Do you know when your mind is glitching? You can’t get out of your own head. He will use sickness in the body, poverty, relationship problems, and external circumstances to afflict the mind – the glitch of the mind. His number one target is not your body it is your mind. Satan is playing target practice with everyone’s mind. I believe that one of the most crippling things a person can have is not a physical problem but when a person has a mental problem.
