Day 7: Conditions of the mind (Joyce Meyer - Battlefield of the Mind)

     "In what condition is your mind?" asks Joyce Meyer in Battlefield of the Mind.  At one moment you are peaceful and then another moment anxious.  The mind can be in so many different conditions.  What is normal?  Joyce decides to figure out what the abnormal thinking patterns are in order to immediately deal with them upon their arrival.  Some wrong thinking according to Joyce:  anxious, worried, tormented by fear, judgmental, upset.
     So, when is your mind normal?  Joyce says it is when the mind is at rest, not blank but at rest.  This is when you are not too busy running around, getting things done.  This is when you can truly put those things aside and listen to your true heart's voice (God).  If we are not able to hear then we will miss out on wisdom and revelation. 


Joyce quotes from Isaiah 26:3 about how to have a peaceful mind when in a relationship with God, "You will guard him and keep him in perfect and constant peace whose mind is stayed on You, because he commits himself to You, leans on You, and hopes confidently in You.
