Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle of Your Mind

Product Information

This audio answered all my questions. Opened my eyes to see how I have been deceived by devil for sooo long. Seriously I wasted all my life thinking and believing wrong. It changed my whole life in one month.

PDF / EPUB File Name: Battlefield_Of_The_Mind_-_Joyce_Meyer.pdf, Battlefield_Of_The_Mind_-_Joyce_Meyer.epub Meyer explains that the word of God is our primary weapon against Satan’s negativity. We use it in three main forms: the written word (scripture), praise, and prayer. ScriptureThank you Joyce for being such a humble servant of God. You are a real blessing. Thanking you for blessing my life. Meyer describes a mind lost in negativity as lost in the “wilderness.” If we're trapped in a negative mindset, our lives can feel chaotic and unnavigable, even if our circumstances aren’t actually terrible. She uses the term “wilderness mentality” as a reference to the Israelites, who wandered in the wilderness for 40 years on what should have been an 11 day trip to the promised land (we’ll call “wilderness mentalities” negative mindsets). Keep a journal. Write notes from the chapters and examples of how you are applying or struggling to apply things to your life Open in prayer. Ask God to help you to get what you need from the message and to open your mind and heart to what he has to say to you through Joyce's words For anyone not keeping up, Joyce Meyer Ministries was created by the same Joyce Meyer who authored this book. Woman, YOU GAVE HIM A JOB! I'm sure he does it well, but... Never mind. Moving on.

We are to apply our Godly ratiocination to his Word. I don't know how Joyce reasoned herself into such an unreasonable reasoning of reason. I don't think it's just her. I think that the Body of Christ is terrified of logic, and sees it as cold and terrible. This is why they are called "religious folk". Though I was not impressed with Joyce's writing style, I appreciated her insights, and her knowledge of the Bible. Certainly, there are things here to think about, and think deeply about. As for the content, well I had some trouble there too. There's a premise that I couldn't get behind, and this is especially present in the first two sections. Apparently Satan is behind all of our bad thoughts. I don't buy that, and that being the case a lot of the solutions weren't apropos. I ask God every morning to run the show; to use me to speak his words and do his work. I trust that He's doing that. It even says somewhere in here that if I ask God for these kinds of things that he'll do them, (but then it contradicted that statement at other times. It's all rather confusing.) Anyway, if God is taking care of everything, how does Satan even have a chance? I mentally skip the offensive punctuation, but it is really annoying to have to do it every few lines, sometimes multiple lines in a row. A lot of the biblical passages used were forced into the scenario making it feel contrived. Things were often taken out of context to make a point that wasn't in the original meaning, but I think that's par for the course when discussing religion.

This book literally changed the way I think in the month I spent reading and applying it. I was in a very dark place after a breakup due to some bad decision making and this was exactly what I needed--someone to provide encouragement as well as a push. No excuses, your mind is just that, YOUR mind and it is your responsibility to change it if it is not meeting your needs or working to better your life. Joyce Meyer is either loved or hated, as are many TV evangelists - there are not many inbetweens. I guess I fall inbetween.
