Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, Battlefield of the Mind.

Our thought life is the battlefield, where the enemy wants to overwhelm and control us.

Whether it's worry, anger, fear, the devil will use our thoughts to try and rob us of the full and

peaceful life Jesus' sacrifice to give us. The battle is fierce, which is why it's important we renew

our minds daily through God's Word. Today, Joyce will share practical steps on how to fight the battle

in our mind, replacing negative thoughts with confidence, peace, and security.

Now here's Joyce with the series, Battlefield of the Mind.

First Corinthians 318 through 20. Let no person deceive himself. I like that. Let no person

deceive himself. If anyone among you supposes that he is wise in this age,

then let him become a fool. Let him discard his worldly discernment and recognize himself

as dull, stupid, foolish without true learning and scholarship that he may become really wise. Now do you know what

deceives a lot of people? Worldly education. And I'm not saying that we should not

be educated. But I think you also have to be wise enough to know that everything you

read in the book is not true. And everything a professor tells you is not true. They don't teach you about creation in school.

They don't teach you about faith in school. They don't teach you about believing God in school.

We have two sources of wisdom, the world's wisdom and the wisest book that's ever been written.

And you know what? I know this is true.

You know how I know it's true

because this works and that doesn't.

All you have to do is look at all the people

that are following the world's wisdom right now
