2 Corinthians 11:3 “But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
Psychological Operations is defined as influencing or an intent to influence the mind or emotions. The most dangerous course of action that Satan can implement is the influence of your mind. Because according to Proverbs 23:7, “As a man thinks within his heart, so is he.” Satan understands this and has developed a system of thought that we have been buying into since the Garden. Satan uses this system of thought (worldly thinking) to influence our mind, because as the mind goes, so goes the person. Satan employs this system of thought through (to the naked eye) accepted, organized, popular thinking such as religion, science, politics, philosophy, psychiatry, media, education, etc., etc.
“ Government, morals, education, art, commercialism, vast enterprises, organizations, and religious activity are included in Satan’s plan to deceive the human race.” L.S. Chafer
The battle is won or lost in your mind. If you are not committed to a daily renewing of your mind in the word of God, then your thoughts will be taken captive to worldly thinking. Romans 12:2 “ And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.” Everyday we choose to think thoughts that are influenced by Satan’s system of thought, which is in opposition to the Word of God. In order to combat this, we must become disciplined to diligently study the Word on a daily basis. It is an either or!! We are either studying the Word of God and being continually renewed in our minds or we are not studying the Word of God and becoming continually conformed to the world. There is no middle ground.
Matt 18:7a “Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come;”
The stumbling block of this world is religion. The stumbling block of this world is success. The stumbling block of this world is happiness. The stumbling block of this world is philosophy. The stumbling block of this world is science. But you are probably saying, “All of those things are good!” That is the psychological warfare of the angelic conflict: Getting you to believe that the “good things” of this world are more important than the plan that God has for you.
We need to realize that Satan is vying for control over every thought that we choose to think. Our attitude should be that of Paul in 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” We can either take every though captive to the obedience of Christ or be taken captive to Satan’s system of thought. The choice is up to you; be renewed in the Word or conformed to the World.
