24 August 2025 – Spiritual Warfare – Part 5

Ephesians 6:14-17 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  “Spiritual warfare is an attack from the demonic realm to stop, stagger and sabotage our spiritual progress.”   In the spiritual battle, the “belt of truth” establishes our relationship with the Lord as our Kinsmen-Redeemer, and our fellowship with Him...

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.  “Spiritual warfare is an attack from the demonic realm to stop, stagger and sabotage our spiritual progress.”   We must understand and know the wicked schemes of the devil and his demons. His schemes are not new; the devil’s brains have not grown much. He is still using the same evil plots that he used in the Garden of Eden – distraction, discouragement and disunity. He is however becoming more and more ferocious and fierce as his end is near....

Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  “Spiritual warfare is an attack from the demonic realm to stop, stagger and sabotage our spiritual progress.”   Spiritual attacks generally fall into two main categories: (1) when we leave doors open through negligence or spiritual indiscipline, and (2) when we are on the verge of a breakthrough. The Bible does not say “if” it says “when” the day of evil comes. We are always on the...

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. In a battle it is very important to understand the strength of the opponent, their schemes and strategies, and their structure/(ranking) and weaponry. Similarly, in spiritual warfare unless we understand the size and the strength of the opposing army we will not be able to overcome the oppressor. “Spiritual warfare is an attack from the demonic realm to stop, stagger and sabotage our spiritual progress.”   The devil is a copycat....

Ephesians 6:10-11 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. There is a constant battle that goes on in the spiritual realm between good and evil, truth and deception, purity and perversion, love and hatred, peace and violence, generosity and greed, prosperity and poverty, health and sickness, joy and sorrow. The unseen spiritual realm is a battlefield between the angels of heaven and the demonic spirits of hell. The moment we accept Christ Jesus we have the mighty forces...

19 August 2025 – Mindcraft – Part 7

Romans 8:5-6 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. “Mindcraft is a proactive approach where individuals consciously shape their thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives to foster growth and navigate challenges effectively. It means architecting your mental space, decluttering negative thoughts, and planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and ambition.” Mindcraft is to untangle from carnal desires...

18 August 2025 – Mindcraft – Part 6

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. “Mindcraft is a proactive approach where individuals consciously shape their thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives to foster growth and navigate challenges effectively. It means architecting your mental space, decluttering negative thoughts, and planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and ambition.” Mindcraft is deliberately refining our mind by capturing discouraging and demeaning thoughts and correcting them under the light of God’s Word. It is like showering our mind with soap and water and...

17 August 2025 – Mindcraft – Part 5

Ephesians 4:22-24 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. “Mindcraft is a proactive approach where individuals consciously shape their thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives to foster growth and navigate challenges effectively. It means architecting your mental space, decluttering negative thoughts, and planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and ambition.” Mindcraft is refurbishing our mind and renewing our attitude in true righteousness and holiness....

16 August 2025 – Mindcraft – Part 4

Galatians 5:1: “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” “Mindcraft is a proactive approach where individuals consciously shape their thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives to foster growth and navigate challenges effectively. It means architecting your mental space, decluttering negative thoughts, and planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and ambition.” Mindcraft is a process of breaking the bondages of the past and overcoming bad habits through the power of the Holy Spirit who strengthens our inner being. Mindcraft is the mental architecture of demolishing...

15 August 2025 – Mindcraft – Part 3

Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. “Mindcraft is a proactive approach where individuals consciously shape their thoughts, beliefs, and perspectives to foster growth and navigate challenges effectively. It means architecting your mental space, decluttering negative thoughts, and planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and ambition.”   The transformed mind, mind-crafted by the understanding of God’s word, is joyful, peaceful and confident. The time that we take to recover from a...
