The battle of the mind | Pr Ronson

You're listening to a message to go from ext church.

We hope this message will light up your tea.

So our life often will gravitate towards what is in

our thoughts.

So you know the way e g. Woman that sing

and like you's seeing that.

Thank you giving me your hand. He did very well.

So life will often gravitate towards what we think.

You realize, you women, how the lies you see.

If you worry a lot like me in the past

few days back then, we're going to worry will consume you.

Now we're going down today, not quot you like dancing,

turn your way if you.

Feel you know it's difficult to trust people. If it

also affects and how you communicate the decisions that you make.

Actually to thing, honey, you tyreant township.

As Christians, we are called to meditate on things that

are pure medy things, meditate on things that are noble.

Jesusman that she eats more soution that is your shirting.

Because of our survival instinct and our canal nature, often

our mind will wear it off towards the will, not

towards will wear off outside of the wheel of God.

Because they take a show rot They take a sh

that is easier, woman roti shang, who is the position

that is your shirting.

So Jesus told me that today many of us are

suffering from what I call a battle in our minds.

So in into cutural wars, woman sings, since man, you're

either dan, that's a lot of wrestling in our mind,

gonna uneasiness going through that this is her dungeon. The

first step to break through usually begins with our mind.

So actually the shiangfan, it all starts with our mind.

When you s sports teams, they win me like you can't.

You don't know, Ham one. They don't win just by

practicing physically. You know.

That, Helenali just they win through their mind.

Hamand things nially like because you can be.

The strongest player.

That sounds.

But if you don't have the right mindset because you

don't want it affects you're confident. The same thing in

Second Corinthians, Chapter ten, Versus three to five, it says,

for do we walk in the flesh, we do not

wore a acording to the flesh in.

My woman straight Rani shts he don't sing triple pinter

the shed he turned that you.

And I are flesh and blood. Scripture is very clear

that our warfare is one that is spiritual and not natural.

Manuse shet here, I wrote, Romans wrote here the man

see white emails. I don't know, push pinter streets. He

likened that for the.

Weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God.

For pulling down strongholds.

Roman and the Pinus shed the nation meant because he

go gona.

Put in go the in late, casting down arguments and

every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,

bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience.

Of christanzuland ran out the eguy, go you're young, run

so you know the thing is had a C for

t too.

So scripture has given us insight into how we can

be victorious in our minds.

So certain thing I'm gonna still out too.

This is not positive psychology.

Mart Me and Lian.

You go, when I'm going to teach you to just

wake up every morning, look at the mirror and say

I am a champion, don't I think? Yeah, Chi riter,

I think the meting.

So what just just create? What just a qunch? What's

the tree fund? What's the three fund.

So positive psychology can only help you to a certain extent.

Reg it's your turn and lantern and had actually you'll see.

But true transformation inside out can only cut through Christ

and his truth alone, because.

Why your patient and being away.

So remember the battle field is always in the mind.

Shane Tangent when the salmon surveiling men. If you can

conquer your mind, you can conquer anything at you. Not

she done when, but often the mind. It is also

the devil's playground because you hold on your lun when

you're in.

Christ, Satan will do his best to distract you, to

drain you, and to destroy you.

Yes you do, ministure now to the earthen and hold

the way. It's like Randy roundI po.

So if you're not careful, he will come into our mind. No,

only push out, lie down the men, and he will.

And you plate your thoughts like she like she don't

bin like she just how conny control over your thoughts

like she uh like you knew she needed and epicient

six policies that we should take on a shield of

faith to do what to quench every feary dots of

the enemy.

So you know if you shut down man like I

think see it's in the don't pie hora mad like

she did down so the comments that we should put

on the helmet of Southwegt. Many she dies under the

jill and the tokay, you know.

What a fury that is? Uh okay, just think think

about arrow an arrow, but this time with fire.

Had a tollally so your word. Josh did a calculation

just now he showed you his phone. Six million plus.

Just a little little bit, sister, bout one. That's take

a yeah, the Indian man, you're lip bit, just one.

Young imagine six million plus? Theory does of the enemy

coming to you every year if we don't discipline in

our mind this.

Indian man, your chin kwan shah, your little bit sister

bout one that take uh kunti lighting down. That's the

way the men.

Last year I went through a very humbling experience.

Some think.

You guys have spelled about situation at work.

Well, take a chin kwan.

How I felt disrespected, how I felt certain decisions were

made without my consultation, email like you want war. It

was very humbling you. But you know what, last year

I allowed different theory that's to enter into the mind

where it kind of like poisoned me.

Because you know what, like she this is the way

I can tell you.

One of the tools that enemy will use to distract, drain,

and discourage you. Its offenses.

Higher a fun fire like running the things just like

you to put on the mouth fun people offend you

being a mouth and doney.

You felt there's a sense of injustice. You felt that.

Trespasses and journey beteing thunders, but usually go through your

tong t is the way.

For Hollywood, how I would drama Colliwood? I saw tamilk

Bollywood Colliewood? Right, thank me? Are you? That's so? Our

mind tends to play drama woman? That's any men for

so the drama that was playing in my mind now

was probably one hundred of the series. Just if I

don't see the take from I think they're trying to

get rid of me from the company.

To the war.

Do I think they hate me war? Do I think

they feel I'm not qualified?

General?

War?

Go? How a lot of drama going on and it

wasn't healthy because didn't come Sometimes if you don't catch

our thought, our todd will become our reality.

Like how how the fun being woman?

They take.

One take a woman the war.

From the mind, it will go to the heart. For

the heart, it will go to the mouth, because Jesus says,

out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth will speak.

Truman's Surveymanda seeing Truman is seeing down the Ta major

but straw to life and sting shot down the women,

fans seeing the men or mad young and you like

you s to lie. So offenses can be a big

thing in mouth. Fun case you face fatter, it is shooting.

And sometimes people may not know that they offended you unintentionally.

You say right now, no, Hamma, she's a company put mouth.

I guess my point is whatever there is going on

to your mind may not always be the truth.

Because that sings them leaders shang father. Maybe it came

into change today that your away. And you know someone

important forgot to smile at you. You want her need shout,

And then the narrative goes through the mind, the pang

by he or she must have hated me, But maybe

the person just didn't notice. You may fashion you went

through the episode before put down your hand.

I see everyone went. So don't allow the enemy to

enter into your mind.

So put out around the earth lies sailing.

We live in the world where it is often also

filled with intrusive thoughts.

They got.

Women that this is because of our exposure to media,

exposure to movies, exposure to news, and be very careful

with Okay, I feel that there needs to be a

place where we can follow series, but be very careful

when the series becomes your reality.

Now, neoied, she can't put since you don't want.

You can play games, but be careful when the games

becomes your reality.

Nic want thes it all starts with the mind is

really man cation.

You know. A couple of weeks ago, the nation was

shocked with a murder that took place in a secondary school.

Just to my mind. Yeah, just hongdo just Nacians Charotte.

When they investigated more talmente.

Hold on. This is my own interpretation. It deduced to

two things.

Take around, work your tiger, just your younger.

And supervised access to games that are oiling.

Just the male that turn like wan fad. Now you see.

Because this uh, this boy actually wrote a note and

people can associate the note to computer games.

How do you see that? If I'm seeing that, I'm

saying she turned she think dn Now you'll see that.

You is reality was actually the characterest he sees in

this game where human life are not important.

So in the type taken now you see that this

this year not just had.

You know, some people will say that during my time

we play micro genius. You know what micro genius is.

Same generation is a wired controller. You put in the

the tape and then you you play Mario right say each.

And you got you don't you see this? But just

yours had happy like she wanted back then?

Games are less graphical and less violent.

The women you see male number, the male number, the

bout leave you.

Take rainbow around you should the guy die without blood

spilling it like she? I think rainbow rainbow? You know

what is it? Rainbow? Rainbow rainbow? Yeah, rainbow.

A different generation liked.

These days more computer games are getting more graphic.

John, you see Naga Tamano the you're like, So that's

the first reason.

Second reason when I just follow the news is because

there is also a form of unheald the mental health.

Now the additional sure ta conn't die, sailing men didn't

come or number that didn't come.

So the boy is being placed for three days of

psychiatric assessment.

Nation and how do you your sing sing leader time

when you mix this too, is a deadly combination. Certainly,

young don't she died her that she does the whole,

not she seduced bet.

My point is as believers, so that decision way too.

You've got to be careful in what you consume, because

what you consume one day, if you're consume it the lord,

it will consume you.

Neo like do you need matan see like you around

the men downtown and she's shattered. There's the whole.

It must be discerning.

You're being being lead.

We live in a world where anxiety and stress are

getting more common.

Man, just sue yali hung ka.

It almost becomes normalized.

Yai.

I know this because in the marketplace, when stuff couldn't perform,

the usual reason given is, oh I'm having anxiety.

To haman hamma di.

I know this because when you read news, you will

know that people suffering from the passion and anxiety interns

of statistics is on the rise.

Wait, you know, to the chink in waitin suni manai eturn.

We live in the world where temptations often begins with

the mind as well your ess, and this has to

do with the things that we're exposed to internal.

Woman that real junction horse or can't down the shooting

her show.

If you don't got our eyes, we won't be able

to get our minds.

You're how how doesney decisions?

You begin to watch what you see? You be going

to watch what you think you like?

How how does she guantani nt uh show down to ship.

More and more serious dramas. If you really compare to back,

then you realize that there's a shift even in moral values.

Ruining like you can't see and naach and like that

thought to eat the family.

We don't have to go far to talk about biblical values.

Let's talk about a common moral values.

When you push your like she used a cantation, can't keep.

So when you're exposed to do these things without discernment

and without a form of God, we're gonna be allowing

your mind to be controlled.

We're gonna real like in your like she quan can't share.

Maybe she runs to it's.

Believe in the world where there are more self exhorting philosophies, to.

Pat Gauty that doesn't share uh.

Knowledge now becomes God in man becomes more hyper individualized.

Women turned one current to eat.

Everything is about me, Everything is about how I feel,

just down water, and God is not even in the picture.

Kuani Miller, you can You cannot stop torts from coming,

but you can stop them from ruling.

You team rule, you do time and that.

She repats here by saying that we all need Jesus well.

Maker and Yu.

No one can sit here or stand here to say

that I confess to you. Out of the thirty thousand

thoughts per day, all are holy, all pure?

Uh Mark that was one Mathiang.

How no one even the best of men, the best

of women you think they are probably you know thirty

thousand times. All good chances are are thirty thousand. There

will be certain percentage that has weird off.

Rndamant. I think.

Because the Bible is clear, all have seen and fallen

short of the glory of God.

He means soil that is woman like she mayor the

ju woman, and.

No one is righteous before God.

Maintains.

So Paul has given us a few techniques. Fan says

that the weapon of our warfare is mighty in God

for pulling down strongholds.

Woman like she she go, she think that she's yes.

Some of our unhealthy thought has been conditioned by our

environment when we were young putting counters and it becomes

a stronghold. You the egbot, what is a stronghold? Take

about lationshiylis easy. Being of a stronghold as a fortress

where it is hard to destroy English on the eastern turn.

In our body, we have billions of Neuronmanda certain man you.

See see about The.

Neurons are basically to simplify signals that is going through

your brain, just like okay. So every time we build

a new habit, showman that she sing the sequin, our

brain will open up a pathway, a new pathway. We

you sing the okay. The more we practice this new habit,

the pathway will get stronger.

Runt she take wanna take a tooting veg.

This is called neuroplaticity thinking short scene. So when you

go for therapy, they always say, let's rewire your brain.

Ruiny like she just some more.

In other words, you cannot get rid of bad behavior.

You can't get rid of bad habits. You can replace

bad habits by good habits. But to do good habits,

you gotta start be consistent in your good habits.

Just a single take a lea jewish, the bunny, the

whole too thing like she dies twice a single tooting.

Okay, now, so think about it that while growing up,

the things that were exposed to and all it. When

it becomes a habit, it's it gets stronger in your

mind to.

Delement. That's the way made in the face. And if

your condition since yang that you are the most special

eats a big one needs to tat her.

Even if you lose in a competition, you still get

a consolation prices man so anwagia and your condition in

the environment where you just cannot feel you ta.

Pating on like she putn't shower.

That will reflect in your conversation and your behavior.

Well need her bearing.

Because you just want win, even need just a ying

when you get into an argument needing.

Eger uh.

All that you want to do is just to win.

Then you look around.

You can't then.

Why anyone don't like me because every time we get

into a discussion, you just want to win.

Amaze anything like that.

Ying, But you see that has been in your mind

conditions since when you're young, because torentific, your parents will

tell you that if you don't win one day you're

just gonna lose. You're going to end up in a

very poor life.

Even just.

Neither way like it could be an environment where your

family doesn't have enough your condition to just make sure

you excel.

Your water the Charlaine painting just a Ma needs me

gay city. That's a quanti eating out the house. You

know it's the same thing as addiction. I tell you

why people find it difficult to come out of addiction, Well, divation,

you're a sunging young city hernan true life because.

The neural pathway in the brain has become a stronghold.

When eating certain naga ying late.

That's talk about alcoholism.

That turned out just shoot joe my dad the fourteen

Now he struggled being an alcoholic. How does a tiler

It is a Joey in her Boddy Gern But he

came out of it true life, But the last three

million years of his life he went back to its

having down and how you that.

And is difficult to come out of it?

Her hair lighter.

It is a form of cooping mechanism that is not healthy.

See eagle putting canter in doing function.

So when people get into a stressful mode, they get

into a challenging mode. They have to find a coping mechanism,

so not eager and she.

Like got her yali the your chmon like you should

it got fun fast.

And she meant do it so for my dad the

cooking mechanism was.

So well the fourteen do it highlight yeah, and she

meant do it a yally. The chin can't just.

Hurt you for some cooking mechanism might be different.

Do you is here and that they say mean do it?

Can't you put young Some people they may eat unhealthily.

There's no self control in the way they eat.

Because you hearing like she bouced it, but actually you're

stressed because the yali they said, it leads you to

the form of unhealthy eating justices dilin the fun fare

juice putting counter y shit.

So when Paul says mighty in pulling down strongholds, what

Jesus office is basically.

This let the institutional.

That his truth is able to enter into the stronghold

of our mind and renew our mind.

Can like you cheat on the survey, limn like she's

cising the turning over the survey.

I'll give you an example. Whenever we feel that we

are not good enough.

It's so much.

How does we got to bring that thought as policies

into captivity to the obedience of Christ?

So many a pathic young fanner like she too away

that you don't have soon for it?

You do, I'll do show and tell again. You did

so well, Josh. I would like to invite you back.

I would like to get Darius. I'd like to get clemen.

Give it them my hand. I stand the center please

a um, okay, Josh will be a character. There is

will be a character. Climent, will be a character.

Yeah, sang Gary a boot on their So.

Let me read this verse again so that when it

is being acted out, do you remember.

Now what I to do than see the show?

Can't remember? The weapon of our warfare is not carnal,

but mighty in God, in pulling down strongholds, casting the

arguments and every high things that exolt itself against the

knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the

obedience of Christ.

The pin cheaping push associated the leader. Can you, lady,

you sing it is Tito.

So because your name is Joshua is similar to Yeshua,

you'll become Jesus Josh Yeah, okay. Clement will represent uh well,

let me see, Okay, you represent this is acting, not literrilla.

You represent a bad toot. Remember how the shana there

is will represent a good thought? Yeah there, how the

shanfa Okay? So remember I say, your mind and your

thought is the battlefield.

Well that journey that tan chank.

So whenever there is a thought of I'm not good

enough that comes in, may it sure? You go?

Oh well, we'll go like I need to. You've gotta

be aware of this thought, hunting through the issue that time.

You've got to arrest this torta.

Where should prisoners go to prison? That's right, love. So

when you have this thought of I am not good enough, saying,

how does first thing first is you must come here

so bad.

You must confront this tod with the truth round taka finalized.

You mean, what is the truth?

Okay?

Sorry to put you on the start. When I'm not

good enough, you have to say, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made.

That is the truth.

I'm more than conqueror who lives in me?

She realizes, she.

Din she plays this tort with truth, and you fing

this truth with christ Sorry in France and France. Okay,

go behind Josh, you align it, you you capture.

It amazing and you just kind of take a generally

the sangfa like you yes to do it.

She So that's how you bring your thoughts into captivity

in because often people have look like Jesus, I can't

see you. Yes. But to really bring our tot to

captivity in Christ is to align with his word.

Because you said, like she bandied the survey that she

yeares you do do the minnesot you like she bandied

the thing, sangfa, you did.

Do the like she said, she spot four millions of lies,

little bye sister.

But yeah, little bye sister, but one that think needs

to be replaced with God's truth. She like, she bases

you do the journally like she she die. Some of

us may struggle with this, right, not so many. Hey, just.

I'm alone done and we went into this wormhole of

self pity she got and the drunk tie. So I'm

alone should submit to God's truth. Go behind thereas down sat.

It should be replaced with God's truth, which is You're

never alone. Why because it manually is with you. Em

listen Christ imen, she like she is, do you take

your thought prison.

Fund show the God d man.

Okay, now last one default the game I don't need

God essentially is to tear down the prey naya and

replaced with God's word. Apart from me, you can do

nothing like she like.

Your your think tuler one yes, so true is our

weapon generally suman the being seen.

You cannot arrest a lie without a weapon.

Like she may your being see they like she is.

A policeman cannot arrest a criminal without a handcuff, bigger.

Tar.

The word of God is the sword of the spirit.

You take God's word, you confront the lie.

Nation the thing of journey the like shevery.

You can ever say, he did so well, but it's

got Did you sign up for Christmas play set up

next year? So you gotta You gotta confront the lie

we got Truth is like me and we can do it. Friends.

The best of us will struggle, maker and to wait,

but we can do it. Sixteen verse thirty to say,

is he who is slow to anger is mighty? You

know anger is better than the mighty? And he catch this,

he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Seeing the.

It tells us it's better to conquer your own mind.

And spirit than to conquer the city.

She tans sat take a survey, how big woman like

you cheat.

And you can only defeat what you define.

Women No woman, no sai no like to be true

like the nigger, wouldn't he liman like she cheerful it

has You.

Got to be in that place where you're aware what's

in your thoughts and define that thoughts. So it's.

Like you should be like you like take a.

Anker in God's truth. And to know his truth is

to know his work. You see why constantly ask people

to rid your word, read your word, hide the Bible

in your heart is because of.

This is a moment. It's your like you like you

do sending Russian sending mouthing.

So when you come to know God's word, he renews

your mind.

How Roman that she told you can't see woman one

to do, says I beseech you, therefore bedren by the

mercies of God, that you present your body's living sacrifice

wholly acceptable to God.

Which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed

to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of

your mind, that you may prove what is good and

acceptable and perfect will of God.

No man, sure, sir, Earl Stradi gentleman, what is foresus

theater susan nicely randering gentleman her her wish and sand

Tunsient Curtsey.

Johnny thirty one, thirty two. Then Jesus said to the

Jews who believed him, if you abide in my words,

you are my disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth,

and the truth shall make you free.

Yeah, shorty, your tyrant sure Nieman Chang Niman show gender

swater man too even bee shouldered. Generally generally be gentlemen.

It's so God's work is the truth Hawaii. Generally only

the truth, which is His word, can say is free

gently kind of go around.

Many of us are still bound in our mind because

we haven't come to know his work.

It's the way no Moha ger gerally I heard before

from a prison chaplain through another person like she turned

out the show Family meant IGERNA.

Prison chaplain is someone who goes to prison and minister

to the prisoners.

And has a cheat out final butally bringing a message

of hope that she runding pan around the c t

get harmon and.

This person says that I have seen more free people

in prison than outside of prison.

Take a run? How do you show now what that

t and you mean count out one? Found yo the

runner why men?

In other words, when he speaks to prisoner, he sees

such liberation.

I showed you shouldn't highlight your show find like Palman

turned out.

Found Christ. Yes, but when you step out of prison

he looked at me and probably not you like okay,

other people outside.

And memant men the show kind.

Of prisoners of our mind, no Christ, but yet we

are not.

Free term woman, they got show fun even.

Remember to build good habits, you need to do it

consistently so that your brain create that pathway, which is

you have to do devotion traditional.

It's like she around, it's an eat it that like

she towlan don't.

When the devotion becomes a habit, it becomes a good

stronghold in your mind.

Now found fare tuitional like your show downban like hold

wit that woman the seven legs so and with this

slike so hell she eats show the five steps. You

can consider uga fund fire like she around that jak.

Whatever. There is not helpful thoughts coming into your mind.

It's counter.

One. You gotta be aware and recognize that so like

she should be taken rest the tord like she.

Yachts the time.

Don't let the tort run through your mind like crazy.

We are around need to like you you should Father review.

The todd and us does it aligned with Christ and

his truth?

Shantani, that's an that she can't have shop for you

did do it?

She replace it with the scriptural truth, assigned a scripture

to it.

You're certing the who you're not like she died high

like she ran it. Don't quite like she should that time.

Last one is you repeat them so it becomes a

discipline over time that like.

She talked for you, don't have a round the away

tante the a chid.

This is a challenge because of flash of the walls

against the spirit.

Here like you come to do it.

But when you practice this, hopefully it will build in

you the capacity to confront lies.

She eat it that she lives. She take a fan

Father shown she answer like she how the men do

it for you.
