It’s quite simple, if you don’t fill your mind with the Word of God, the enemy will fill it with fear, anxiety, stress, worry, and temptation. Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “Famine may starve, or bloody war devour, earthquake may overturn and tempest may smite, but amid all, the man who has sought the mercy seat and is sheltered beneath the wings which overshadow it, shall abide in perfect peace.” When our mind is void of God’s promises to fall back on, the enemy can assail us with his lies and half-truths… causing great confusion and a jumbled mind that can’t make good decisions. I John 4:18 tells us that the perfected love of God casts out fear…which for us is a progressive rather than an instantaneous work as we learn to fill our mind with His Word and trust in it. And as we gain more Godly knowledge, we can more easily discern when the enemy is attempting to steal our peace.
