4 Ways to Fight Mental and Spiritual Attacks like a Puritan

Mental health and spiritual attacks are almost always connected. What we are thinking about, what we are believing, and what we are meditating on are all a part of the Christian’s spiritual battlefield.

Look at how Paul describes this spiritual warfare in 2 Corinthians. “We demolish arguments and every proud thing that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Cor 10:4–5). Our mental furniture matters. Arguments—or reasoning—and thoughts are the arena of our spiritual battles. Our minds, souls, and hearts are a frontline of spiritual attack.
