We all have times when opposing thoughts enter our minds. These thoughts are often based on our imagination starting from a place of lack. When focused on what we don’t have fear is automatically invited. Such fear will paralyze our faith unless faith rises up and conquers the fear. Fear focuses on what could happen, but Faith focuses on who we trust and what He is able to do. Jesus admonishes us to watch out for “the leaven,” or small, seemingly insignificant amounts of opposing views or misplaced ideas that are contrary to the purposes of God that seek to infiltrate our minds.
We are reminded that we are in a spiritual war and that our mind is a battlefield. When opposing thoughts come, we will either entertain them or arrest them. Thoughts entertained become incubators for more arguments, claims or reasons to support the original thought and over time can become strongholds, such that the lie may become the basis for our identity. Strongholds can stifle our potential and hold us in bondage as we act or fail to act because of the infiltrated thought. Only the mighty weapons of God can pull down strongholds. It is better that we immediately arrest opposing thoughts when they come by taking them captive using the truth of the Word of God. Since the enemy will do everything in his power to keep us from using the Word against him, we must be intentional about reading, memorizing and internalizing Scripture.
