Spiritual Warfare takes place in the mind.

Mark Virkler's picture

So, are you ready to battle some demons today? Where is the battleground? How do they attack? How do we fight them off? Here are some wonderful easy answers from the verses below.


Spiritual warfare is casting down imaginations and thoughts that are not from Jesus.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 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; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Cor. 10:3-6)

Additional Greek meanings for the words in the above verses

  • Weapons - tools
  • Warfare - military service
  • Carnal - pertaining to the flesh
  • Casting down - destroying
  • Imaginations – computation, thought
  • High thing – to fortify, lofty arrogant thought
  • Exalteth itself – lifted up, raised up
  • Knowledge of God - ginosko which is intimate knowledge
  • Captivity – making a prisoner
  • Every thought - perception
  • Obedience – attentive listening
  • Christ – the anointed one

Paraphrased summary of Spiritual warfare – I demolish any imagination or picture in my mind that is contrary to the God I intimately know. I attentively listen to Christ and bring my perception about the situation into submission to what He is saying! (2 Cor. 10:3-6 KJV)

Thoughts or pictures in your mind that come from satan are "flowing" and line up with His character.

  • Liar, accuser, adversary, a thief who comes to kill steal and destroy, evil one, tempter…

Specific biblical examples of satan’s lies

  • Accusation, distortion of words - Did God really say? (Gen. 3:4)
  • Pride - You can be like god, knowing good and evil
  • Attacking destiny - If you are the Son of God
  • Desire for power - All this I will give you, if…
  • Mis-use of Scripture - Throw yourself down…He will command his angels.

Thoughts or pictures in your mind that come from Jesus or the Holy Spirit are "flowing" and line up with their characters.

  • Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Savior, Lord, Good Shepherd, Bread of Life, Prince of Peace, Truth, Mediator...

Specific biblical examples of Jesus’s truth

  • Comfort – Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.
  • Forgiveness - Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
  • Acceptance - Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
  • Provision - Ask and it will be given to you.
  • Truth and life - I am the way and the truth and the life.
  • Guidance - Let your light shine before others.

Journaling

Lord, what would you speak to me concerning winning the battle of my thoughts and pictures in my mind?

Newly recorded for 2023! Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

This story contains the lessons I learned in the months of healing after having emergency surgery which involved five heart bypasses.

How Do YOU Know? MP3 Downloads

by Mark Virkler | 12 Audio Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.
