This is the presence that doesn’t require faith. What I am specifically referring to is the feeling and sensing of His presence, the presence that affirms and assures us that He is with us. Simply put: where there is mental torment there is the absence of peace and where there is the absence of peace, there is the absence of the presence of God! I’m not speaking of the omnipresent existence of God here - I don’t want to confuse you. ![]() During that time, what I discovered is that this spirit is highly oppressive and distinguishably overwhelming and it appears to only have one job -to harass you and bring you to a place where peace is unable to penetrate and inhabit. There are countless men and woman of God bound by this spirit and don’t even know it! I know firsthand because I can remember a time in my own journey where this spirit gained undeniable access to my mind and I couldn’t figure out how to break free. It is designed to leave us emotionally unstable, incapable of making right decisions, fearful, anxious and spiritually paralyzed. Torment is defined as severe mental suffering, agony, distress or torture. Mental torment is one of the biggest, if not, the biggest, most powerful weapons hell routinely launches against the body of believers at all times. This spirit comes to exhaust us mentally and impair us physically, ultimately keeping us from fulfilling our assigned purpose for being here. We must start here because if we don’t find stability in our minds, there’s no possible way we will be able to get our flesh and our spirits under control. Dismantling Mental TormentĪll throughout scripture we have examples of the targeted mind games and tricks of the enemy that have us up and down in our beliefs, our perceptions, our perspectives and our overall sense of well-being. When your mind is taken captive and controlled by Satan, how can you fulfill the plans and purposes of God for your life? God has plans for you and so does the enemy, who you yield your mind and all of your faculties to will determine whose plans are unfolded. If he can control our thinking, he can control our decisions – with that, his agenda is being fulfilled all throughout the earth – through US! Think about it. He is sometimes more aware than we are that if he has control of our minds, then of course, he can have control of our bodies. ![]() There’s no getting around it! We are constantly bombarded with thoughts and images of every kind that are released through the world system – which is controlled by the devil. The reason it hasn’t faded with time is because people, both believers and non-believers alike, are becoming increasingly aware of the struggle 100% of the population has in their psyche’. I’m sure a great portion of us are familiar with the term “The Battlefield of the Mind” – right? We’ve heard it here and there constantly over the past two decades especially. It is now and has always been his primary point of attack. It’s no secret - Satan always targets the minds of believers.
