Many believers live in perpetual defeat due to believing the lies of the enemy until those lies become mental strongholds.

John 10:10 clearly states that the plans of the devil are to hinder, discourage and bring forth harm and destructions to us. But the good news is that we have a weapon far greater than the forces of evil, the sword, Word of God (2 Corinthians 10:4).

So brothers and sisters, no matter what mental stronghold you are facing, God has equipped you with the divine power to tear down any unwanted thoughts that bombard you. Be assured and believe in God’s promises that he will never leave you or forsake you.

So whether you currently feel depressed, hopeless or find yourself mostly wallowing in lustful thoughts, there is a way out for you – just believe it.

The solution to overcoming the lies of the enemy is to fill your mind with God’s word until there no room for the devils lies to enter your mind. Make it a goal to completely saturate and believe every single word in the Bible. Anytime the enemy attempts to whisper evil thoughts in your mind, counteract it with the Word of God.

Below we have compiled a list of bible verses worth meditating and memorising to overcome satanic mental attacks.

Print out the verses and start reading aloud the scriptures with boldness.
