Many struggles in life often are fought on the battlefield of our minds. That’s why James writes “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?” (James 4:1). That’s why we are exhorted in God’s Word to demolish any thought that goes against what God says is true about any given situation.
We are in a Spiritual battle and need to take every stray thought captive and repent, correct it and align it with the truth of God’s Word. If someone has hurt us or wronged us, and are having hateful thoughts towards that person, we need to take that hateful thought captive immediately so that bitterness does not take root in our hearts and defiles us. (Hebrews 12:15)
We need to stop, realize what is truth in the situation, take responsibility for our wrong actions, ask for forgiveness, acknowledge when they are wrong, understand that we cannot change another person, offer forgiveness, release them to God and choose not to hate. The victory in the battle is won when we discipline our thinking, so it focuses on thoughts that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and are praiseworthy to God. (Philippians 4:8)
Negative emotions like anger, bitterness, hate, jealousy, fear, anxiety can kill us. They are joy stealers. They suck the life out of us and hinder us from living abundant lives in Christ. The good news is that we are not powerless. God has given us a choice to meditate on life giving thoughts or thoughts that bring death in our lives and render us defeated. Choose life! Choose victory! Make it a practice to capture every negative thought and choose to replace them with good ones which come from the truth of God’s life-giving Word.

got some overlapping issues. I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I’ve truly enjoyed browsing your blog posts.

I think what you composed was very reasonable.
However, what about this? what if you were to write a awesome title?
I am not suggesting your information is not good., but what
if you added a headline that makes people desire more?
I mean Victory In The Battle of The Mind – The Balm of Gilead Ministries is a little plain. You
might look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article headlines to get people
interested. You might add a video or a related picture or two
to get readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might
make your blog a little livelier.
