The Battlefield Of The Mind

A spiritual battle in the Valley of Demons, where faith conquers evil in the mind's realm

It was a cold, wet, miserable day as I passed through to tread the valley of demons. In this converged place, my presence is hard to maintain. I can feel them pressing down on me, attempting to drive my spirit from my body. Fortunately, in the convergence, they are but wisps of themselves.

I feel the heat of their gaze and sense the weakness beneath their purpose. We are a threat to them because we have learned their weakness. We have authority over all demons. If you believe...

We are ultimately more potent and can always be the conquerors. My steps now come with more ease as I ponder their disadvantage. I feel their bitterness and resentment raging against me. They are cut off, and I am grafted in. They hate that, and I smile, secure in my belief in the power of the Word.

Amid this stifling Valley of Demons, I have belief and have made ready. I crouch, placing my left hand upon the Earth. I looked up and uttered words: “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want, even though I walk through this valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for HE is with me, HIS rod and HIS staff comfort me..." The demons around me are screaming profanities at me, yet for all their rage, hatred, and bragging, they also begin to vanish. I speak more of the words, "...You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil, and my cup runneth over..." and they spit and claw themselves, spewing more profanity, but their voices are now laced with fear and torment. ...goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever." Be gone; you have no power over me. I AM, the Ruach (Spirit), is the power in this conqueror in this battlefield of the mind.

Left-right — all around me, their wisps disappear. The simplicity of genuine belief is astounding! Ultimately, if it's loaded, your tongue is the mightiest weapon on Earth. It can bless you or unseat you.

I have no demons; every sin I ever committed was all mine. No demons were needed to aid me in them, but they are no longer mine because my burdensome load was separated from me at my declaration of my acceptance of The King's blood as payment. We choose our team — conqueror or victim — the seed of the woman or the seed of the Serpent. YAHWEH or Satan. If you choose not to decide, you have already chosen.

We exercise the power of our lineage.
