Digital creator Syd Kell shared a powerful message that may be helpful to those struggling with their mental health. She noted that the true battle is spiritual and that “the enemy is after our thought life.”
How’s Your Thought Life?
In Proverbs 4:23, the author said, “Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.” Indeed, how a person thinks influences their decisions and ultimately shapes their life based on the cumulative effect of those choices. That’s the extent of power held within a person’s thought life. The enemy is well aware of this truth too, which might be why he exploits it against God’s children.

According to Syd Kell in her recent podcast, “the enemy is after our thought-life.” She expressed her disbelief and annoyance how the devil “has no new tricks” and still trying to get into people’s minds.
She described it as an “old tactic” and explained that the enemy would manipulate people’s thoughts and emotions, leading them to believe things that may not even be true.
Battling Lies With God’s Word
Then Syd highlighted the significance of reading God’s Word and applying it to combat these lies from the enemy. Her husband, Tony Kell, further elucidated the consequences when the devil manages to gain control over a person’s mind.
“He gets your emotions, he gets your feelings, he gets your decisions, he gets your attitude,” he said. “You start lashing out on people because you’re just tormented in your mind.”
And then Tony shared what the Apostle Paul taught in 2 Corinthians 10:5 about taking “captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
“So, how does Paul go from a war of fight, and it talks about our thoughts,” he explained. “It’s because the fight is in our mind. The enemy is after our thought.”
Tony also added how the lack of knowledge destroys people as well. Hence, that “just shows how important the Word of God is.”
“When you get into the word and you study the word,” he said. “And the Word begins to transform you, you no longer live defeated. You live in victory because you can replace those thoughts, cast down those strongholds with the Word of God.”
