The Battle Of The Mind

There is no greater battle, than the battle of the mind,
it's the process that makes decisions, no stronger battle you will find.
When something comes up to challenge it, to try to kick it off it's post,
those are the battles I fight for, those battles I fight for most.
Everyone has this masterpiece, God's creation called the brain,
which is meant to function properly, not to drive a person insane.
How do we use it properly, what's it's original intent?
Well, let's look at the instructions, to see how it was meant.
Love the Lord your God, with all your heart, soul and mind, (Mark 12:30)this is the most important, in the instructions I could find.
Set your mind on the things above, (Colossians 3:2)this gives me perspective and helps me what to love.
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, (Romans 12:3)this gives me humility, where choosing pride would make me sink. (Proverbs 16:18)Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (2 Corinthians 10:5)this thwarts Satans plan, of having me diced.
Wow, there's so much more instruction, all I have to do is read,
my brain is meant to be used, on God's word it's meant to feed.
You could read somewhere else, God gave us freedom to roam,
but you will find it's God's word, that the brain will call it's home.
But there's something I'm so thankful for, something that's so kind,
the Lord took my depravity, the depravity of my mind (Romans 1:28)Through repentance and belief in Him, He has made me sane,
and now I have the mind of Christ, (1 Corinthians 2:16)which there is no greater gain.
Thank you so much Jesus, for giving me peace of mind,
there's no greater love I've found but you,
and I'm convinced I'll never find.


Romans 7:23-8:11[23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
[24] O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
[25] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
[8:1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.[2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
[3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.
[4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
[5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit[6] For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritual minded is life and peace.
[7 ]Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
[9] But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
[10] And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
[11] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
