Introduction:  Man’s mind is under attack.  As a whole, we are experiencing a great level of dumbing down.  The mind, however, is not just connected to intellect.  It is also connected to faith and a victorious Christian life.  If you lose your mind you have lost one of the greatest gifts that God has given you.  What are you willing to do to keep it?

1. The Lord Knows Your Mind (Ezekiel 11:5And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
   See All...)
2. Believers Need to Love God with All Their Mind (Mark 12:30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
   See All...)
3. Believers are to Have a Willing Mind (2 Corinthians 8:12For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
   See All...)
4. Believers are to be Spiritually Minded (Romans 8:6-7 [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually 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.
   See All...)
5. Believers are to Have a Pure Mind (2 Peter 3:1This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
   See All...)
3. OBTAINING VICTORY IN THE MIND

   See All...; 2 Timothy 1:7For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2. Believers Have the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

3. Believers Need to Renew Their Mind (Romans 12:1-2 [1] I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. [2] And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
   See All...)
4. Believers are to Keep Their Mind on God (Isaiah 26:3Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
   See All...)
5. Believers are to Let the Peace of God Rule in Their Hearts (Colossians 3:15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
   See All...; Philippians 4:7
   See All...)

Conclusion:  Are you renewing your mind daily?  Have you surrendered your mind and thoughts to the mind of Christ?  Is your mind stayed on the Lord?  The Lord asked you to love Him with your mind and it will be impossible to do so if your mind wanders and is doubtful.  Would you yield your mind to Him today?
