Church of Thyatira—What is the Depths of Satan? (Second Half)

Every Sunday night someone calls in and asks the Catholic priest why they worship idols, and he says, 'We don't worship them, we just have it for a reminder. We just have it for veneration' and so forth. When he got done I said, 'Well, in the Ten Commandments…'—you know the Catholics removed the 2nd commandment; they shortened it—'…it says you shall not make any idols of anything, in heaven above…' and so forth. Well, needless to say, at midnight I got out of there quickly because the Catholic priest was a big 300-pound German called Duelmeier, and I got out of there as quickly as I could.

Idolatry starts in the mind! That's what's so important. The making of an idol is a manifestation of the imagination of the mind!

2-Corinthians 10:3: "For although we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the overthrowing of strongholds, casting down vain imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought into the obedience of Christ…" (vs 3-5).

This is how you overcome. It starts right here. Everything starts right there in your mind! All:

• false doctrine
• idolatry
• lust
• fornication
• adultery
• thievery
• covetousness  

—and everything else. So that's why in overcoming, if you can cast it down when it raises itself up then you can have success in it.
