How to Discipline Your Flesh
simple truths are not being observed. Before you can fight you must understand weapons, territories, tac-
tics and strategies.
First, your only weapon is the Holy Word of JEHOVAH GOD. The Holy Scriptures of GOD state in Hebrews 12:3, "For consider him that endureth such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be
wearied and faint in your souls (minds)."
Secondly, as long as you live in a mortal body, your mind is the territory or battlefield where Satan and
The WORLD will fight. As a believer, you've been spiritually reborn into the very image of Christ Jesus
and the devil can't change that. He is permanently kicked out of that domain.
Thirdly, now that we know what weapon we have and where the fight is taking place, there are only
tactics and stragegies of warfare. The devil has no power of his own, Jesus Christ stripped him of that,
when He rose from the grave and took away from him the keys of Hell and Death. The devil has to win the battle in your mind by tricking you into defeating yourself.
Fourthly, Christ Jesus cannot just be your friend and Saviour. Christ Jesus must be your absolute LORD
over your life and soul. Why? Because Satan's chief strategy is called licentiousness, meaning no self-con
trol or being unrestrained. Some translations call it lasciviousness. I believe it's the devil's most important
point of attack, a weapon of sorts,because he knows in order for the believer to live a Godly life, fleshly appetites and desires must be put under the authority of the Holy Spirit in that believer. Satan's goal of
course is to stop the believer from doing that.
This is how licentiousness works. Satan throgh the portals of unrestraint or lack of self-control applies
pressure to your flesh, plates seeds of doubt in your mind and visions of lust in your subconscience. Just
a little at first, but now and again, until suddenly, almost before you realize it, your flesh begins to take over your spirit. It's a deadly sequence and it works the same way everytime. Unrestrained thoughts give
birth to unrestrained words, which give birth to unrestrained actions and events which lead to an unrestrained life of sin and destruction.
Lastly, countering the attack of Satan!! For stopping the devil's plan and dangerous sequence of events,
the Holy Word of JEHOVAH GOD states, in Second Corinthians 10:3-5, "For we war not after the flesh,
but in the mind casting down all imaginations, thoughts and ideas contrary to the laws of GOD and bringing them into captivity every thought that tries to exhalt itself against the obedience of GOD.
If you want to be a champion on the battlefield of your mind, you must reprogram and recondition it with the very Word of JEHOVAH GOD, night and day.............moment after moment!!!
In conclusion, if you are really going to bring every thought into thr captivity to the obedience of the Holy
Word of JEHOVAH GOD, you must start your day with prayer, reading the Word of GOD and meditation
plus at every opportunity keeping it flowing perpetually.......brainwashing your mind with The GODHEAD
