Instead of worrying today, set your mind on God and His promises to you. Fill your heart
and mind with thoughts of faith, praise, thanksgiving, and worship even in the midst of
the adverse circumstances you may encounter.
You cannot do this in your own strength or in the power of your natural mind. Regardless
of how strong your will may be, you cannot do this simply by will power. The battle must be fought and won in the spirit world.
Whenever you realize that your mind is in turmoil, take aggressive action right then.
Bind the power of the enemy in prayer. Draw upon God’s strength and the power of the
Holy Spirit within you to resist, oppose, and withstand Satan’s attack on your mind.
Exercise your authority over the enemy by taking control over your thoughts and casting
out every negative, ungodly thought in the Name of Jesus.
Paul said, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your
hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7, NIV). The word “guard” in this
verse is a military term which means “garrison.” God has promised that as you reject
negative thoughts and present your needs to Him in praise and thanksgiving, He will
guard your heart–your thoughts, will, and emotions–just as soldiers under military orders
guard a garrison. They constantly watch over it and protect it so that it remains safe from
enemy attack.
Satan doesn’t give up easily. He will repeatedly try to bring negative, sinful thoughts
into your mind. Continue to rebuke and resist him in the Name of Jesus. As you do this,
he must leave and all worries, anxieties, and negative thinking must leave with him. As
you actively resist him, he will flee!
You can draw upon God’s strength and the power of the Holy Spirit to resist, oppose, and
withstand attacks on your mind today and every day. Command Satan to take his hands
off your mind! Make this declaration out loud right now:
“Satan, you have no control over my mind. I command you, in the Name of Jesus, flee
from my mind! I resist you now in the power of Almighty God that is within me. I reject
every negative thought, every fear, doubt, and worry from my mind. It is written, that
God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. I claim the
peace of God over my mind right now, in the Name of Jesus.”
