Many of God’s children are better at their profession than as Christians. The reason for this is that they have allowed the training of their profession to affect their mindset, while the higher truth of their Christian faith has not done the same. This is why the Spirit of God enjoins us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind.
Just as a medical doctor who is a kidney specialist or a psychiatrist has become transformed (because of the number of years he has spent exposing himself to the information in those fields). In the same way, the Christian that starts to come to church is to expose himself to the truth of the Word of God and have his mind and mental processes transformed to the divine viewpoint.
The problem with the child of God is not the devil, it is that he has not become convinced of the Bible that is in his hands and the truths therein. If you are that convinced that by the stripes of Jesus you were healed, no pain in your body would change your mind that you are still sick.
In life situations, God is the authority that backs up your position as a child of God. Your position is not with men; it is with God, on Whose word you are standing, and the devil that is confronting you. If you are determined to take your stand for as long as it takes for your position to be justified, you will have your justification.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to continually depend on Your Word, and allow it to form my mindset as I go through life in Jesus name.
