Last week we talked about using Scripture to renew our minds. Today I want to show how I used Scripture to help me with my own project which is making a list each day and actually following it.

Usually I just use whatever Scripture I’m studying at the moment, but this time I went looking for passages that talk about spiritual attack because I was feeling oppressed and thought I might be going through some attack. 

I put the information in chart form because it seemed like an easier way to organize it. In the first column I recorded what the Bible said; in the second column I summarized the concept, and in the third column I made it personal. If you’d rather do this study on your own, I’ve posted a blank chart on my other blog.

* I’m not implying here that it’s a sin to live life without a list or to play around on the internet. But because I tend to be a self-indulgent, let’s-have-fun sort of person, it’s easy for me to waste a lot of time. What I’m working towards is a life where I ask God each morning what He wants me to do that day (including how He wants me to love Him and others), then write it on the list, and actually do it. I’ll never reach this goal unless I continue to renew my mind every time I don’t feel like doing my list. (Note: If I were a different type of person, I might have to make a goal of being willing to interrupt my list each day to what God wanted me to do.)

** When I looked at this passage, I actually listed all the lies I thought Satan was telling me and wrote the truth to go along with those lies (basically it was a truth journal with the list method).

Question: Can you tell when you’re being spiritually attacked? What do you do when you’re attacked?
