Below is a short message I shared this morning on a WhatsApp group that I am a part of.
I thought I’d share it here because as believers none of us are exempt from the battleground of the mind, it one of Satan’s most popular and I believe, successful forms of attack. If you’re like me, any biblical help/arsenal I can equip myself with in order to enforce Christ’s victory in this area of my life, the better.
The message and links below:
Hi guys, I pray that you are having a good Monday so far.
I have been doing this short daily devotional on the area of our thoughts. It has been very helpful and so I felt it would be good to share the link, there is also a book available. Here is an except from day 3 of the devotion:
‘Lies such as I’m helpless, I’m worthless, I’m unlovable, shape our thinking, our emotions, and the way we respond to the world around us. They trap us in their cycle of distraction and distortion and pain, preventing us from recognizing the truth we should believe. Most detrimentally, they change how we view God. Every lie we buy into about ourselves is rooted in what we believe about God.’
Our thoughts are so important as they shape and mould us. I read that we have on average 30,000 thoughts per day, that an average of 20 to 21 thought’s per minute. That’s a lot of thought’s.
Just as we service our 🚘 or take care of our physical bodies 🏃🏾🏋️♂️🚴♂️🏊♂️⚽🏀, we need to take care of our 🧠💭 (thought life).
2 Corinthians 10:5 says:
” ⁵We 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.”
My mind is constantly attacked during the course of any given day in many different guises and areas. I’m guessing I’m not alone in that.
I pray this is a timely help for you or someone you can share this with.
God bless you all 🙏🏾
Brother Don 👍🏾
That was the short message I sent and I hope that it is a timely reminder for you also. As a spirit filled believer in Jesus Christ, you fight from victory and not for victory, as the war has already been won on the cross of Calvary, by our saviour Jesus Christ.
I encourage you to take control of your thought life by feeding on the written Word of God as given in His bible. In doing so you can build up your resistance to the onslaught from our adversary – Satan. This short devotion by Jennie Allen (Get Out of Your Head) is a good place to start, there is also the book by the same title available.
God bless you all,
‘But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.’
1 Thessalonians 5:21 (New Living Translation)
May God bless you all,
‘But test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good.’
1 Thessalonians 5:21 (NLT)

Beginning a Journey With Jesus — click to open
If you’re exploring the Christian faith or wondering what it means to follow Jesus, you’re in the right place. Beginning a journey with Him is the most life‑changing decision a person can make — and it’s open to everyone.
Below is a simple explanation of the gospel message, followed by a prayer you can use if you feel ready to invite Jesus into your life.
A Brief Summary of the Gospel Message:
- God created you for relationship with Him.
- Sin — the things we do wrong — separates us from God.
- We cannot fix this separation by our own efforts.
- Jesus, God’s Son, came to earth, lived without sin, and died on the cross to take our place.
- He rose again, defeating sin and death.
- Through Jesus, we can be forgiven, restored, and made new.
- Salvation is a gift — received by faith, not earned by good works.
- When we accept Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes to live within us and begins transforming our lives.
- We become children of God, with a new identity and a new future.
A Simple Prayer to Begin Your Journey:
“Lord Jesus, I come to You today because I want to know You. I admit that I have sinned and fallen short, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for me and rose again so that I could be made new. Today, I choose to turn away from my old life and follow You. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Holy Spirit, and help me to live for You from this day forward. Thank You for loving me, forgiving me, and making me Your child. Amen.”
What to Do Next:
1. Find a Local Church
Look for a Bible‑believing church in your area. Speak to the pastor or leadership team
and let them know about the commitment you’ve made. They will be able to support you,
pray with you, and help you grow.
2. Consider the Alpha Course
I strongly recommend the Alpha Course, which runs worldwide. It’s a safe, friendly place
to explore questions about life, the Christian faith, and God — whether you’re brand new
or simply curious.
Visit the Alpha Course website
3. Reach Out if You’d Like Support
If you’d like prayer, have questions, or want to talk privately, you can send a confidential
message through the site. Nothing you share will be visible to others. The only exception is
if a safeguarding concern is raised — in that case, it may need to be passed on to the
appropriate agency or person, as you would expect.
