The devil knows how powerful the mind of a person is, and therefore he wants to control the mind.
When he controls the mind of a person, he can seduce, كذب, سرق, قتل, وتدمير.

Depression is a fruit of demonic possession and can be very dangerous. How many people suffer from depression these days? When a person suffers from depression, (س)he is dominated and led by the powers of darkness. Can a believer be depressed? لا, because a real son of God; a born-again Christian, is controlled and led by the Holy Spirit. لذلك (س)he is not controlled by the spirits of darkness, وبالتالي, أ ولد من جديد مسيحي cannot suffer from depression.
Will a born-again Christian play video games?
الآن, we have come to a crucial question: “Will a Christian play video games?” The simple answer is: "لا!” Maybe a carnal Christian, who walks after the flesh may play a video game, but a born-again Christian, who walks after the Spirit shall never play video games. Because a born-again Christian discerns the spiritual realm.
A born-again Christian shall see the spiritual danger of gaming. (س)he shall see the demonic powers that operate behind these games and (س)he doesn’t want to open a spiritual door and become entangled with the demonic forces of the kingdom of darkness.
A born-again Christian shall never open himself or herself for evil demonic powers to enter. Because a born-again Christian knows that his or her job is to rule over these spirits, instead of these spirits ruling over them and taking them captive.
The born-again Christian shall sow in the spirit and not in the flesh. (س)he shall not fill himself or herself with the things of this world.
(س)he shall لا defile his/her mind with darkness. لكن (س)he shall fill and تجديد العقل with the Word of God and guard the mind.
God has given a sound mind ( 2 تيموثي 1:7) and not a mind that is full of darkness; شر, خوف, والدمار.
The born-again Christian shall delight in the Word of God and shall meditate on the Word, ليلا ونهارا. لأنه عندها فقط, shall a person become like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season, and his leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he does shall prosper (المزامير 1:2-3)
You will reap what you sow
Gaming is not relaxing, just like watchingتلفزيون is not relaxing. It may seem relaxing and you may feel relaxed at first, ولكن في النهاية, سوف تجني, what you’ve sown in your flesh, وهو الدمار. Because you will be controlled and guided by the powers of darkness.
يسوع لديه لا set you free so that you would still be subjected and controlled by demonic powers, who controlled you in your old former life before you knew Jesus Christ and dictated to you what to do.
والذين هم للمسيح قد صلبوا الجسد مع الأهواء والشهوات. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit (غلاطية 5:24-25)
عندما تبت ووضعت حياتك, لقد حرّركم يسوع من كل ظلم الظلمة. لقد انتقلت من مملكة الظلمة إلى ملكوت الله. ولكن الآن الأمر متروك لك, ماذا ستفعل بهذه الحرية الروحية, الذي أعطاك.
هل ستستمع ليسوع, أطيعوا يسوع واخدموه واقضوا الوقت معه وفيه (الكلمة), والبقاء في ملكوته? أم تسمع لجسدك وتطيع وتخدم جسدك (شهواتك, الرغبات, سوف, العواطف, المشاعر, الخ.), ويخدمون الشيطان ويعودون إلى مملكته?
“كن ملح الأرض”
