“A Disciplined Mind” by Nancy Dufresne

 No matter what arena we are being tested in, it will always be accompanied by an attack on the mind. But we aren’t to live being dominated by the mental arena, instead, we are to be dominated and led by our spirit.

     We are faith people. The faith of God is in our heart, in our spirit – not in our mind. That’s why Satan seeks to draw us away from our spirit and into the mental arena, because then he has drawn us out of the faith arena – the spirit arena.

     We are to be disciplined in the mental arena, not allowing any troubling thought to enter our mind. Yes, the enemy will suggest all kinds of troubling, fearful thoughts, but a disciplined mind refuses to entertain those thoughts by not turning them over and over in the mind. We can’t keep wrong thoughts from coming to our mind, but we can certainly keep them from entering our mind. When we are disciplined in our thought life, no test will trouble us.
