A message for Overcomers by Niven A Neyland
Rev 21:7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I shall be his God, and he shall be my son.”
There is a battle raging for control of your mind. What that means is – what is it that your mind will choose in instances of attack. Your heart can change at a whim but if your mind is solid and your resolve set, you can win.
The fiery darts of the wicked generally come in waves, like an opposing army; and so we are told to “Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.” If you resist, the devil WILL flee, along with the temptation. The violent take the Kingdom by storm, and resisting is warfare. It is your defence line. Praise, worship and prayer are parts of your forward line, utilised in attack.
When trouble besets you
And decisions upset you
Consider the war for your mind
Will I view it or wont I?
Do I listen or don’t I?
There IS a war for your mind
When your tongue wants to waggle
And chatter sets in
And you feel you’ve become mis-aligned
Put in the bridle
And raise up the standard
And you’ll win
The war for your mind
When the darts of your past
Come in like a fire
And rage up what you left behind
It’s just a reminder
To keep well aware
There’s war being fought for your mind
When you know what is right
But want what is wrong
Think of the war for your mind
For when lust hath conceived
And brought forth its death
You’ve lost the war for your mind
When you’re all double-minded
Unstable in thought
And the eyes of your heart
Seem so blind
Pray for stability
Get right on your knees
Don’t forget
This is war for your mind
When temptation is raging
And enticement is near
A certain way out you will find
For they who endure
This brief time of battle
Will win the war for their mind
At evening and morning
And noon shall I praise
And thy law in my heart
Will I bind
‘cause the smell is so sweet
of the victory I need
for the war going on for my mind
