Welcome to Enjoying Every Day Life 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 sacrificed 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.

Okay, open up your Bibles and get yourself out some note paper and get ready to make the devil mad

because you're going to find something out that maybe you didn't know.

Proverbs 4.23, Lord, we thank You for the Word.

We pray that people's minds will be renewed and their eyes will be open to the truth in Jesus' name.

I'm calling this message tonight, what's been on Your mind lately?

You know, if we would really take a little inventory of what's been on our mind lately,

we could quickly make a connection between what's going on in our life and what's been going on in our mind.

I went to church for years and years and years and years and nobody ever told me my thoughts had anything to do with my life.

I had no idea that I could think my own thoughts or choose my own thoughts.

I had no idea that if I was thinking something that wasn't correct, that I didn't have to keep thinking it.

I think it's a shame when we sit in church week after week after week and if we're not told the things that are going to help us in our practical everyday life,

it's great to learn about doctrine. We all need to be sound doctrinally, but we need to know how to live.

We're never going to have the life that God wants us to have if we don't know what to do about our thoughts.
