One of the many verses in the children's song Be Careful, says, “Be careful little mind what you think.” The wise man would agree; he tells us as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Therefore, it goes without saying, whoever or whatever controls the mind controls the man.
Satan worked on Eve’s mind. Once he had corrupted that, every part of her being was tainted with the Serpent's venom. “Get a man to think your way and you own the man,” is said to be a saying of the old Communist Party. Capture the mind and you’ve captured the man!
When Paul begs saints to present their bodies to God, he beseeches them through the means of the intellect. When God deals with His people concerning their sins, He does it by intellectually reasoning with him or her. The battleground between God and the devil is for man’s mind.
The mind decides to whom one belongs: God or Satan.
