How to Defeat the Devil in Your Mind: Creflo Dollar

Key Insights

  •  The Devil’s method of operation is to play with your mind, deceiving and influencing you without you even realizing it.
  •  Christians have been given authority over all the power of the enemy, meaning they have the right to command and can overcome any obstacles.
  •  Strongholds exist in the mind, constructed with thoughts of human reasoning, and we must use God’s Mighty weapons to destroy false arguments and obstacles that keep people from knowing God.
  •  The devil is like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour, but we have the power to declare that he cannot devour us.
  •  “All the Devils tried to do is knock you about, just try to destroy you, try to hurt you, break your heart over and over again.”
  •  Satan’s influence knows no boundaries and everyone, regardless of age or identity, deserves to be free from his grasp.

The Power of Christ’s Redemption and Reconciliation

  •  Our strength comes from our union with the Lord, providing us with boundless might to successfully stand against the devil’s strategies.
  •  There is a devil loose who wants to kill, steal, and destroy, but Jesus promises abundant life and will not stop until it overflows.
  •  Jesus became our sin offering and ransom, ensuring that our sins, past, present, and future, have already been paid for through His blood.
  •  “God is not mad at me anymore, I have been reconciled back to Him. The enmity between man and God is over.”

  •  “If you want to be free, Jesus will make you free.”
  •  The power of Jesus can set you free from tormenting spirits and bring about a life-changing transformation.

Summary

  •  Believers must recognize the Devil’s methods, engage in spiritual warfare, and put on the whole armor of God to defeat the evil world and live a rich and satisfying life through faith in Jesus Christ.
  •  We must recognize that we are not fighting humans, but spirits that can operate through humans, and we can use God’s Mighty weapons to knock down strongholds in the mind and destroy obstacles that keep people from knowing God.
  •  Stay alert and declare that you are not devourable by the devil, who suggests benefits to lead you astray, but trust in God’s righteousness and resist compromising on the truth to avoid being influenced by Satan’s attacks in your mind.
  •  Don’t be deceived by the devil’s suggestions, stay dependent on God and avoid substances; teach children the difference between life and death; believe in the devil and stick with God’s promises to avoid being led astray; be cautious of self-deception through advertising.
  •  Recognize the enemy’s suggestions, understand Grace, change your thinking, believe in God’s promises, and rest in Jesus’ finished works to overcome the devil and find victory in spiritual warfare.
  •  Knowing and believing in the finished works of Jesus allows us to rest in the fact that our sins have been paid for, freeing us from the devil’s accusations and deception, and we can defeat his suggestions by questioning the value we give to things in our lives.
  •  Shining a light on the devil in your mind helps you overcome his tactics and experience freedom through Jesus, as everyone deserves to be free from Satan’s influence.
  •  Believe in Jesus and receive your freedom from tormenting spirits; don’t waste time arguing with the devil, instead use your power to heal, raise the dead, and declare blessings in your life.
