Overcoming

1 Peter 5:8 tells us that the devil goes about seeking someone to devour. Not a nice thought but at least when we read that we are a step ahead knowing that we have an enemy and that he is after us.
Proverbs 23:7 says, "As a man thinks in his heart so is he". It's all got to do with the mind. Here are some questions.
Do you protect your mind?
What do you watch? What do you listen to? These are the two primary ways to fill your mind, your eyes and your ears.
2 Corintians 10:3 tells us to cast down vain imaginations, Paul is talking about the mind. It's all about filling our minds with the right things really because when the minds right we begin to fight from a position of strength instead of just holding the fort syndrome.
Psalm 110:2 "Rule in the midst of your enemies" God wants and has provided for us to be overcomers.
Romans 12:2 "Don't copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person BY CHANGING THE WAY YOU THINK. Then you will know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect".
