Find out how to recognize damaging thought patterns and stop them from influencing your life. This is the first title by Joyce Meyer that I have read. I always enjoy hearing her speak through my local radio station but never thought to read one of her books. I was given this title to create a detailed book discussion for college kids. I divided the book into three sections - #1 The Goal - An Authentic Personal Relationship with God -- #2 The Enemy's (devil's) Playback and #3 Huddle Up to Building an Unstoppable Defense. Since reading this book, I have been recommending it to as many people as I can - because it applies to everyone no matter what their stage in life. - I only gave it four stars because it was a little wordy in places. ...right thinking has nothing to do with salvation. (p60) Our minds are not born again with the New Birth experience - they have to be renewed (see Romans 12:2) Keep your mind on God and not the problem. (Psalm 143:3-10) "If" and "but" are two of the most deceptive words that Satan ever plants in our minds. (p230) ...as long as he refused to face truth, he could not truly repent. And as long as he could not truly repent, God could not forgive him. (p231) Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. (p3) So, our weapons are the Word used in various ways. We can pray the Word, speak the Word, sing the Word, and study the Word...We need spirit weapons because we are fighting master spirits, yes, even the devil himself. (p12) ...we will get from the Word of God what we put into it. (p55) It took me a few chapters to get into this book. I am not a fan of Joyce Meyer, and at first the book seemed a bit academic and wordy. But by the third chapter either the author changed her tone or I felt more comfortable with her style, but in any case the rest of the book was surprisingly helpful. I have actually recommended it to a few people. no reviews | add a review
