1. The document discusses winning the battle in the mind, which is a constant spiritual war that began before humanity. 2. The mind is the battlefield where thoughts, ideologies, and concepts are fought over, which affect decisions, emotions, and actions. 3. Being born again puts one in this spiritual warfare, calling them to victory already won by Christ, though it must be walked in by faith. 4. Subtle strategies and deception of evil spirits attack the mind, so one must be grounded in spiritual truth to overcome.

1. WINNING IN THE BATTLEFIELD OF
THE MIND
PRESENTED BY SCOTT ODIGIE

2. On most occasion, when we
come in contact with
information that deals with
the ‘mind’ we tend to assume
it is out of place because of
several findings in the
discipline of psychology.
FIRST
WORD

3. Sometimes, loads of people
have the "motivational
impression” about it. But in
reality, the subject of the
‘mind’ is highly spiritual;
depending on the underlying
principle and concept behind
it.

4. Discussing on this subject for such a
time as this, where what we and the
entire nation of the world is faced
with, is a pandemic that has never
been experienced by man. There is
therefore a call to responsibility, to
share elaborately and analyze this
subject for the benefit of the people
of God for the following reasons:

5. Because we have a
common enemy who
will never give up on his
mission to steal, kill and
destroy.
Because we have an
enemy who has no
respect for grace and
everything that makes
you different in life.
Because we have an
enemy who has lost his
power but leverages on
subtlety.

6. INSIGHTS: what you must
understand in winning in the
battlefield of your mind

7. 1. There is a war constantly
ongoing: the war didn't just
start now, but began even
before human existence on
this side of eternity. It
should be noted that
nothing can stop it, except
at the appearing of the
master. Ephesians 6:12, 1
Peter 5:8, 2 Corinthians
2:11.

8. 2. The mind is a battlefield: the
context of the mind here
describes the place of your
thoughts, ideologies and
concepts. Why? Because a man's
thoughts, ideologies and
concepts will affects his
decisions, emotions and actions.
Therefore, there is need to be
deliberate about guarding our
minds from thoughts that are
inconsistent with the truth. 2
Corinthians 10:3-5.

9. 3. You can't be neutral:
been born of the Spirit
is a call or an initiation
into this warfare. It is
not a matter subject to
choice but to your
enlistment into the
army of the living God.
1 John 5:4.

10. 4. You have the victory
already in Christ: everyone
born of the Spirit is born
into victory. That is, has an
heritage of triumph in
Christ. This also is not a
function of works or choice
but as an automatic end-
product of the death, burial,
resurrection and Ascension
of Christ. 1 John 5:4.

11. 5. You have the choice to be
victorious: walking in the
victory that Christ has
received on your behalf is a
function of your intention by
faith. The victory that has
been paid for, is not
synonymous with walking in
it. It must be possessed by
faith if it must become a
reality in your life for such a
time as this. Hebrews 4:2.

12. 6. You are not immune to
attacks in your mind: of a
truth, we were not promised
immunity from demonic
attacks in the battlefield of
our minds, but victory.
Considering the life of Jesus
while on earth would also
prove to us that this war is
not a respecter of persons;
either in Christ or outside.
Matthew 4:1-10.

13. 7. The weapon of the devil
is subtlety with thoughts
and strategies: subtlety
could also be referred to as
craftiness, cunningness, or
cleverness. Little wonder
why the Paul the Apostle
spoke wrote about 'the
devices of the devil', 'the
wiles of the devil' etc. 2
Corinthians 2:11.

14. 8. Spirit beings are your
enemies: this is the very
reason why we must be
intentional about who we
were born to be. Why?
Because a dead man can't
fight someone who is alive. It
takes a man born of the Spirit
and walking in the spirit to be
able to discern the direction
and strategies of spirits.
Ephesians 6:12.

15. 9. The knowledge of the
truth is the only antidote:
the truth is not the
invention of philosophers
but God Himself. The only
way to understand, expose
and overcome falsehood is
by the truth. You can't live
in darkness and at the same
time be victorious over
light. John 1:1-5.

16. 10. Your salvation
experience depends on it;
much more than your
existence: you must
understand that much
more about your existence
is dependent on the victory
you have over the battles
going on constantly in your
mind. Genesis 3:1-10.

17. In conclusion, the
challenges we are
faced with now is not
as destructive as the
the war going on in
people's minds.
FINAL
WORD

18. Therefore, winning the
war in your mind would
not just bring peace into
your life, but strategically
position you for the post-
COVID 19 season. Keep
winning! God bless you.
