Teachings from Nancy Dufresne
“A Disciplined Mind” by Nancy Dufresne
No matter what arena we are being tested in, it will always be accompanied by an attack on the mind. But we aren’t to live being dominated by the mental arena, instead, we are to be dominated and led by our spirit.
We are faith people. The faith of God is in our heart, in our spirit – not in our mind. That’s why Satan seeks to draw us away from our spirit and into the mental arena, because then he has drawn us out of the faith arena – the spirit arena.
We are to be disciplined in the mental arena, not allowing any troubling thought to enter our mind. Yes, the enemy will suggest all kinds of troubling, fearful thoughts, but a disciplined mind refuses to entertain those thoughts by not turning them over and over in the mind. We can’t keep wrong thoughts from coming to our mind, but we can certainly keep them from entering our mind. When we are disciplined in our thought life, no test will trouble us.

In the teaching last month, I wrote about being “In Christ.” I want to continue along that line this month.
Isaiah 54:14 (AMPC) reads, “You shall ESTABLISH YOURSELF in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God’s will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you.”
Your redemption REPOSITIONED you – FAR from oppression, destruction, fear, and terror!
But notice in this verse that we are instructed, “…establish yourself in righteousness….” No, we aren’t trying to establish a righteousness of our own, but we are to establish and build in our spirit the truth that Jesus already made us righteousness – it is a free gift from Him (Rom. 5:17). We aren’t righteous because we have done everything right, but because HE did everything right, then credited it to us as though WE did everything right!
