Battle Drill Daily Devotional (Video) | Christian 5-Minute Bible Devotions

Sunday 17 August 2025

Long before your actions show it, the battle begins in your thoughts.

#BattleDrillDevotional #MindRenewal #FaithAndHealing

In this episode of the Battle Drill Devotional, we explore how spiritual transformation starts not with behaviour, but with the mind. Drawing on Romans 8:5 and Philippians 4:8 (NLT), we reflect on the quiet but powerful war between the old self and the new life Jesus offers. Some of the fiercest spiritual battles never make a sound - but they can shape your entire life.

What we think about most forms the foundation for our desires, decisions, and direction. When left unchecked, negative thoughts like fear, pride, and resentment begin to drive our actions. But the Holy Spirit calls us to something better - a renewed mind fixed on what is true, honourable, and pure. This is not just good advice. It’s survival for the soul.

Through personal story and practical reflection, we consider how whole-life discipleship in The Salvation Army begins in the mind. You’ll hear how small moments of pause, silence, and Scripture can shift your heart, renew your focus, and help you remember not only who you are, but whose you are.
