The Daily Christian Life – Dealing with the Strongholds in Our Mind

For our weapons of warfare are not fleshly, but inherent ability by the God towards the tearing down of strongholds, casting down logics and every high thing lifting itself up against the knowledge of the God and bringing every thought into captivity into the obedience of the Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Within our mind we can build up strongholds that are very difficult to overcome. These can be false beliefs or temptations like living by law, speaking in tongues, drinking alcohol, pornography, lying, stealing or anything else that holds us. Often these strongholds are built with the help of others who influence what we believe and how we perceive life. However, when they come up against the knowledge of God, we struggle to overcome them.

Dealing with what goes through our minds can be very difficult when we are not using the methods provided for us in Christ. Our battle is not fleshly, it is spiritual, it is a battle for the mind, and this is why it is important for us to frame our minds correctly. Remember, framing the mind is about setting a proper boundary around who you are and what you allow to remain in your mind. As Christians our frame of mind needs to be on the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, seek the things above where the Christ is seated at the right hand of the God, Frame your mind of the things above, not the things upon the earth – Colossians 3:1, 2

Having this frame of mind, we can then compare the thoughts in our mind with whether or not they fit and if they […]

No Longer Under a Tutor

As part of our salvation, we have been given a renewed mind (Romans 12:2), one that is not corrupted by our sin nature. This is a mind that can understand the things of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14-16). Therefore, we walk by the Spirit, not by law or the flesh (Galatians 5:16, 25). The Spirit is the one teaching us how to properly abide in Christ (1 John 2:27) and therefore live a life that shows a proper opinion of God through our actions, not words. We are not adopted children, we are legitimate children and should act as such in the midst of a corrupt and perverted generation, training our sensed to know what is proper and what is wrong so that our live are a luminary to those around us.

Different Types of Christians – A Conformer to the Legal Age

Rather than being an outward conformer to one who seek to please God through law we are to be transformed by the renewed mind that we have in Christ. This is a mind that can understand Spiritual things and therefore apply them in our lives. We live out from faith (taking God at His Word), not by law (self-effort). Let us grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord as we mature in Christ and are transformed by this knowledge so that we walk in the newness of life that God gave us in Christ, no longer tossed around by every wind of teaching by the trickery of men who seek to bring us into bondage under law.

The Persecution of the Church Begins

And they killed the ones announcing beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One, of Whom now betrayers and murders you have come to be

Acts 7:51-8:11

7.51 Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in the heart and ears, you are always falling against the Holy Spirit. As your fathers, also you. 7.52 Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed the ones announcing beforehand concerning the coming of the Righteous One, of Whom now betrayers and murders you have come to be, 7.53 you whoever received the law because of regulations from messengers and you did not guard. 7.54 And after hearing these things, they were cut to their hearts and began gnashed their teeth upon him. 7.55 And existing full of the Holy Spirit, while gazing into the heaven, he discerned the glory of God and Jesus standing out from God’s right hand. 7.56 And he said, “Look with discernment, I am watching the heavens after being opened and the Son of man in a state of standing out from the right hand of God.” 7.57 And crying with a load voice, they held their ears and rushed with one accord upon him. 7.58 And after casting him outside of the city, they began stoning him. And the witnesses laid their garments at the feet of a young man called Saul, 7.59 and continued stoning Stephen while he called and said, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” 7.60 And after setting on his knees, he cried out with a load voice, “Lord, do not stand this sin to them.” And he fell asleep after saying this.

Acts

Stephen before the Council

The Jews Opposing Stephen and the Word of God

Could not stand against his wisdom.

6.7 And the Word of God was increasing, and the number of disciples was exceedingly multiplying in Jerusalem, and a great crowd of the priests were obedient to the faith. 6.8 And Stephen, full of faith and inherent ability, was doing wonders and great signs among the people. 6.9 And some rose up from the ones out from the synagogue of the one called freedman, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of the ones from Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephan. 6.10 And they did not have the strength to stand against the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 6.11 Then they incited men to commit a crime while saying that we heard from him saying utterances of blasphemy against Moses and the God.  6.12 And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes and after seizing they dragged him and lead unto the council. 6.13 And false witnesses stood saying, “This man does not cease to utter blasphemy, speaking against the Holy place and the law. 6.14 For we heard from him saying that Jesus of Nazareth, this one will destroy this place and alter the customs which Moses handed over to us.” 6.15 And after gazing upon him all the ones sitting on the council saw his face as if a face of a messenger.
