...Don't fill your mind with violence! Do not fill your mind with lust. Do not fill your mind with envy, or hatred, do not fill your mind with evils. For the past few months, as many of you know, I have been PLAGUED by all sorts of evil thoughts, both from the enemy, and also from YEARS of watching violent films (Rated R murder hollywood movies [Friday the 13th, Good Fellas, etc) and stuff like that), violent video games (GTA, Resident Evil, etc.) and pornography that just rested in my heart because I let stuff like that in. I come before you today, my dear brothers and sisters, saying protect your hearts and minds with the Word of God, with the love of Jesus, and the love each other, against things that cause violence and sexual immorality in people. Philippians 4:8 says, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things."
Dear Brothers and sisters who I love, who Jesus loves FAR more than I or anyone else ever could, I plead with you, avoid things which stimulate violent thoughts or lustful ideas. I am not speaking about anything like avoiding the opposite sex so you don't lust, or anything like that, but avoid movies which are filled with murder and beatings, killings and all sorts of thing our Lord GOd says are wrong, and avoid pornography and things which degrade and objectify women (or men). It comes back to you, and the enemy DOES use it against you. I know none of us are perfect, and I do not wish to judge, but please, I plead with you do not dwell on evil things. And this applies to things you may feel are harmless like a rated R action film, or anything of the like it, because satan observes and records what it is you watch and enjoy. Think about it, if we tolerate violent films and lustful films, how much more will we begin to tolerate the actual thing? Are not these films glorifying murder? Or rape? Or child molesting, or anything else? How about vengence? Is vengence good for man to do, or only for God (Romans 12:19-20)?
I come to you as a testimony. My mind has been plagued by murderous, rapeful, beating, stealing, wrathful, judgmental and demonic thoughts for many months. I have been TERRIFIED and damaged and all around raveged by these evil thoughts. They are from satan, for satan attacks the mind. But you know what else? I am responsible as well, not only because of past sins, but also allowing myself to be filled with violent media and lustful ideas. I am not blaming the movies, or the video games, but myself, because it was I who allowed myself to watch things which glorified evil actions.
Our minds are for God. They are for loving the Lord or God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and loving our neighbor as ourself. Dear friends, I am not trying to say that all movies or video games are bad (But all pornography is), for that certainly isn't true. I'm not even only speaking about movies completely free of violence, or even a little violent. But be careful.
You are the lights of the World! (Matthew 5:14-16) Shine for those lost in the darkness. God loves you and wills no evil. God loves non-believers and wishes that they be saved from the very acts we've all been committing (murder, sexual immorality, etc.) We know the commands biggrin o not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, honor your mother and father, do not bear false witness, and love yourneighbor as yourself. Why dwell on even the fake act of these things?
Pray for me. Pray for my mind, and that a very violent spirit which has actually been in my home for years (my sister was the first one to sense it) is cast away. Please pray for me. I really sense that a lot of my mind has been damaged. Praise be to Jesus, the Good Shepard, who has been with me amongst all this, and will not leave. But pray for my mind. I beg you. I love you all.
And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith (Galatians 6:9-10).

It is by the love of God, the power of Jesus, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the truth of the Holy Bible, as well as the love of my family, my friends, and especially one person (she knows who she is) and my Aposlte Paul's wisdom that the enemy has no victory. My mind may be under attack, but no victory will be granted! Lord Yeshua, have victory and praise!

Father God, I thank you for reaching into James' mind and renewing him. You have the incredibly loving ability to just re-make us. Lord, do that now. Just re-make James. Wash away all that is of the enemy, and fill him with the light of your love! With the fresh water of the Holy Spirit! And just wash him and renew him. In Jesus' Name, amen. I cite your word Lord, that you have done this:
Colossians 2:14,15
14 Having cancelled and blotted out and wiped away the handwriting of the note (bond) with its legal decrees and demands which was in force and stood against us (hostile to us). This [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared [j]completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] cross.
15 [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].
Lord, you have ALREADY disarmed the enemy, making a bold display and public example of him and his henchmen, triumphing over them and showing the whole universe that his power is broken!
Halleluiah Lord Jesus! Father Almighty! and Precious Holy Spirit that the enemy has no more hold over James OR his family in Jesus' Name! Lord, we, myself and all those who see this and are in agreement, hereby stand shoulder to shoulder with our brother, presenting ourselves before you, to stand with him, and CLAIM his freedom for ALL the enemy!! That at the Name of Jesus EVERY KNEE shall bow and EVERY TONGUE proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father! In Jesus Name, amen! Right now, all evil spirits that have been tormenting and harasssing James, we COMMAND you to bow your knee to the Lord Jesus Christ! You have no more place within or around him.... and you MUST flee! In Jesus' Name amen!!
Holy Spirit, cleanse our brother of all unrighteousness and fill him completely, to overflowing in the Name, and the Power and the Blood of Jesus Christ, amen and amen.
Bro .... begin to take communion with the Lord EVERY day!! Even if it's just a cracker and water .... invite Him into your room, confess your sins to God, thank Him for your forgiveness and then take communion before Him. This will begin to set you free even more. And this directive comes from Him, (i haven't thought about this in a long time .... He just nudged me about it!)
We love you bro. And not just us. We are surrounded by a whole CROWD of witnesses ... and they're all cheering and urging you on ... just like at the Olympics!! Praise you Father!! Praise you Lord Jesus Christ!! Praise you Holy Spirit!! Amen and amen!!!

Indeed, Indeed exclaim Our minds are indeed for God. Get this though... His mind is for us! 1Corinthians 2:16 "...But we have the mind of Christ." Our minds do belong to him, but he does not want to keep them the way we have given it to him. He wants to replace it with his mind. One thing we should not expect, however, that God would ERASE all of the things that we have experienced. For it is our TESTIMONY. He has brought us out of evil thoughts and unclean hearts into his righteousness. For "we are the righteousness of God." Indeed do not be weary in your well doing. For Christ is on YOUR SIDE. Thank you SO much for sharing this. I encourage all of you to really take this in to concideration. Please heed this Man of Christ and learn from hsi testimony. I can relate to it. I think we all can in some way. If not in an agressive spirit, a helpless spirit can also occur. This is what has happened to me! A spirit of fear has come from letting these things into my spirit through the spiritual gates of the eyes and ears. Paranoia, thoughts of violent death, being attacked, fear of the dark, ...of being alone, all constant thoughts that have plauged me in the past until I opened up about it and really prayed against it, allowing God to show me that I could and should trust Him. So it was not about fighting. It was about letting go.
