In the beginning, God said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness and let them rule over everything we have created." The question is, which part of a human being is made in the image of God? Some scholars feel that our reason, creativity, speech and self-determination are the image or nature of God. Man was created an intellectual, creative being, which is God's nature. The Devil is a strategist; the bible says he is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. Satan's best weapon is making people believe that he does not exist. The Lord has not left us at the mercy of Satan and his demons; he is raising us into an army that will destroy Satan's prisons and let the captives go free. We are not fighting alone. Jesus fights alongside us. The battle for the mind is still going on today. Satan uses everything he can find to try to confuse, weaken and eventually destroy our minds. Don't give him your mind - stand up and fight.
