Notes:

John 19:17-18
“And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull,
which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him, and two others
with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center.”

John 8:32
And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

THREE THINGS TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT WINNING THE WAR FOR OUR MINDS

1. Understanding the Mind as the Main Battlefield of Good
and Evil

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For
the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ…”

2. Understanding the Word of God as a Spiritual Weapon

Ephesians 6:10-17
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put
on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,
against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take
up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with
truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your
feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of
faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked
one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the
word of God;

Hebrews 4:12-13
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and
marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there
is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the
eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

3. Understanding Biblical Meditation as Spiritual Warfare

Psalm 1:1-3
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in
the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the
law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.

Deuteronomy 6:6-9
And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall
teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in
your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise
up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets
between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and
on your gates.
