Billy Graham | One of the MOST POWERFUL Videos You’ll Ever Watch | Spiritual Warfare

the 10th chapter of second corinthians beginning with the third verse for though we walk in the flesh we do not war after the flesh in other words we are engaged in a warfare if you're a christian you are engaged in a warfare not a basketball court not a playground not a football stadium but you're engaged in a battlefield for the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly they're not carnal but they are mighty through god to the pulling down of strongholds the apostle paul said i'm going to use some weapons that will be new to you but they're going to pull down the devil's strongholds and these are spiritual weapons the word of god and prayer and the power of the holy spirit then he said we're casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of god and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of christ a person who is living in the spirit every thought that he has should be in obedience to the person of the lord jesus christ now thoughts are powerful to harm us and powerful to help us the bible says as a person thinketh so is it how do you think what goes through your mind what do you think about when you're alone someone has said plain living and high thinking are no more one of the most important things in our lives is who's going to control our minds proverbs 16 32 says he that ruleth his mind is greater than he that taketh the city means to rule the thought of your mind [Music] you spend a great deal of time alone many of you do so your mind is your only companion what do you think about what do you talk to your mind about that's your only companion is your mind for many of you isaiah the prophet said thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee do you keep your mind on christ in it you get your mind off christ and you get it on some things you shouldn't be thinking about do you pray lord forgive me and help me to get my mind back on christ i do many times now the bible says first of all that the mind your mind is at enmity against god your mind does not want to do anything about god to start with in romans 8 7 it says the carnal mind of the fleshly mind is enmity against god for it is not subject to the law of god neither indeed can be the apostle paul wrote to the colossians in the first chapter and said that until they had come to the world come to christ they were alienated and enemies in their mind enemies of god alienated from god separated from god in your mind and your mind was a part of that decision such a mind will not obey the law of god it commit it submits to sin it minds the things of the flesh the bible warns against having that kind of carnal fleshly mind that mind that is dominated by the devil or by selfishness and then the mind is not only enmity against god but it's also a blinded mind second corinthians 4 3 says in whom the god of this world that's the devil hath blinded the minds of them which believe not he has power he has supernatural power to blind your mind [Music] and you let him you have to let him and if you let him he can blind your minds i cannot account for the apparent veil that hangs over the hearts of some people many people very close to the kingdom of god many people surrounded by a believing family i know a young man right now surrounded by a believing family read in the church red for god he heard the blessing said at the table at every meal and today he's way out in left field on drugs sex all the rest of them blinded by the god of this world they're led captive to the will of satan and many people tell me i don't understand i've heard this all my life i've tried to believe but i cannot they're blinded and the only person that can open your eyes to the truth is the holy spirit and you must ask him to come and open your eyes supernaturally which he will do tonight before you leave here if you will allow him yes your mind is at enmity with god your mind is blinded but then there's the doubtful mind the bible talks about in luke 12 jesus said neither be ye of doubtful mind the bible warns against the double-minded person james says a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and this carries with it the idea of a person who wishes to secure both worlds you want one foot in heaven and one foot in the pleasures of this life and you cannot you've got to go one way or the other so there are many of you that are torn between your sinful pleasures and appetites and your desire for heaven and you know that you can't have both and you've got to make a choice jesus said there are two roads in life there's the broad road that leads to destruction there's the narrow road that leads to eternal life and there's a narrow gate and that gate is the cross and it's all going to be decided on what you do about christ have you repented of your sins are you sure of it you can do it tonight [Music] you
