1) Mental Strongholds
The Stronghold is an area that is dominated by an enemy. If Satan dominates your attitude toward yourself, God, food, or money, etc., he is in control in that area.
Satan relentlessly seeks to build strongholds in our minds. He is a liar and he only lies or twists the truth, which is lying. He deceives. We are deceived when we believe things that are not true.
we see that the whispered voices within that we often times hear echoing in our mind which most deem as merely their own thoughts COULD be an angel or even the God Jesus or the Holy Ghost. We also find in God's Word that satan talks to souls too. Satan can cause THOUGHTS to be planted in our mind. Generally, His best method of communicating with God's people as to plant his seeds of deceit is by using human whisperers.

2) A Deceived Mind Produces A Deceived Life
Eve was deceived by the lies of Satan. He attacked her mind.(Genesis 3:1-6). Adam and Eve were both punished for hearing and believing his lies......
Judas became victim of satan's whispers ...In ( John 13:2) "And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;"
Eve and Judas should have checked their hearts !
Jesus told us "Watch out that no one deceives you." (Matthew 24:4)

3) The Renewing Of The Mind Is A Vital Necessity.
while Satan cannot read our minds, he can influence our thoughts. Thus, the Bible instructs us to "put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes" (Eph. 6:11).
Our mind must be renewed if we want to experience God's good plan. "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)
The Fruits of Satan whispers are Hatred , Anger , Pride.....etc , The enemy of your soul is trying to change your spirit so you would not "inherit the kingdom of God" so WATCH OUT !!
It is time to move on. Because Where the mind goes, the man follows.
