You Have the Mind of Christ

About this sermon

This Church of Jesus Christ had better put off that spirit of passivity and complacency, and get mad at the devil, and be willing to press the battle! Press the battle! Press the battle!  • Do you know why the Church is so weak? Because they are trying to fight this battle with Satan. God never did put us up against the devil. That battle He reserved for Himself.  • Victory is not automatic!  • Put on God’s whole armor, the armor of a heavy-armed soldier, which God supplies  • Our victory comes when we arm ourselves, and we know how to resist the power of the enemy, and we are programmed for aggressive action!  • God has planned for me to have the same strength, the same perseverance, the same powerful endurance, the same powerful weapons that Jesus experienced two thousand years ago.  • It's important for us to know, in the midst of the battle, that Jesus has already destroyed the works of Satan, and He has already broken his power over us, and you and I are actually facing an enemy that has already been defeated!  • No weapon that is formed against you can prosper!  • You’ve got to become violent. If you don’t believe it, you ask any soldier who’s ever fought a war, and you tell me if he is going to overcome his enemy by sitting in the foxhole and being passive.  • Take control over every thought! Bring it into captivity! Gird your loins!  • We demolish arguments… We demolish every pretense that sets itself up against the knowledge of God... We take captive every thought, and we make it obedient to Christ!  • He has delivered us out of the control and the dominion of anything that has to do with Satan!  • Do you want to overcome the distress? Do you want to overcome the onslaughts of the enemy? The trials? Gird up the loins of your mind!  • Which God supplies...  • Forget not ALL His benefits!  • But we have the mind of Christ!  • We take captive every thought …  • We are fighting an enemy that has already been defeated!
