INTRODUCTION

 

In the Dispensation of Grace, Satan’s primary battlefield is not politics, money, or even persecution—it is the MIND.

The devil is a liar (John 8:44), and lies only take root where truth is absent. If a believer does not intentionally fill his mind with God’s rightly divided Word, the enemy will gladly occupy that space with deception, doubt, and doctrinal confusion.

Paul warns Church Age saints to renew the mind, not empty it (Romans 12:2). This message exposes how Satan fills empty minds and how God’s truth guards the believer.
