And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations, that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
Genesis 14:1-2
And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the children of Israel [are] more and mightier than we; come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and [so] go up out of the land."
Exodus 1:9-10
Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them [by] way of the land of the Philistines, although that [was] near; for God said, "Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt." So God led the people around [by] way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.

Numbers 1:3, 20-46
"When you go to war in your land against the enemy who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will be saved from your enemies.
Numbers 10:9
So Moses spoke to the people, saying, "Arm some of yourselves for war, and let them go against the Midianites to take vengeance for the LORD on Midian. A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war." So there were recruited from the divisions of Israel one thousand from [each] tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Then Moses sent them to the war, one thousand from [each] tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy articles and the signal trumpets in his hand. And they warred against the Midianites, just as the LORD commanded Moses, and they killed all the males. They killed the kings of Midian with [the rest of] those who were killed--Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian. Balaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword. . . But Moses was angry with the officers of the army, [with] the captains over thousands and captains over hundreds, who had come from the battle. . . And levy a tribute for the LORD on the men of war who went out to battle: one of every five hundred of the persons, the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep. . . The booty remaining from the plunder, which the men of war had taken, was six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep...
Then the officers who [were] over thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came near to Moses; and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who [are] under our command, and not a man of us is missing. . . (The men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
Numbers 31:3-8, 14, 28, 32, 48-49, 53
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:6-8
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh...
2 Corinthians 10:3

James 4:1-2
Beloved, I beg [you] as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul...
1 Peter 2:11

Revelation 19:11, 19
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:7-11
Mind Reading
by Dre | March 2009
Mind reading, altering the state of the mind, controlling what one wants the mind to think, to feel, to act even to the point of making objects do what one wants through mind/thought control. These things come from Satan himself. Our military were the first guinea pigs for this experiment. One certainly wonders what is in store here.
"For," said Hushai, "thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field; and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place; and it will come to pass, when some of them are overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, `There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.' 2 Samuel 17:8-9
Other words to describe chafed are exasperate, vex, trouble, provoke. [Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 30 Mar. 2009.]
And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them. So she uncovered her whoredoms and uncovered her nakedness. Then My mind was alienated from her, as My mind was alienated from her sister. Yet she multiplied her whoredoms in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt...thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side... Ezekiel 23:17-19,22
Alienated means to make indifferent or hostile; to turn away; transfer or divert [Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1). Random House, Inc. 30 Mar. 2009]
Then shall his mind change; and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god." Habakkuk 1:11
So we see from this scripture that the devil has a great deal to do with altering the state of one's mind.
Then they went out to see what was done. And they came to Jesus, and found the man out of whom the devils had departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind. And they were afraid. Those also who had seen it told them by what means he that had been possessed by the devils was healed. Luke 8:35-36
I find then a law that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:21-25
But their minds were blinded; for until this day the same veil remaineth untaken away in the reading of the old testament, which veil is done away with in Christ. 2 Corinthians 3:14
But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to those who are lost, whose unbelieving minds the god of this world hath blinded, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4
But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit which ye have not received, or another gospel which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. 2 Corinthians 11:3-4
And you, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, even now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblamable and unreprovable in His sight, if ye continue grounded and settled in the faith, and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, am made a minister. Colossians 1:21-23
The bible is full of scriptures demonstrating the significance of the mind and its power thereof. God wants us to live our lives and worship Him with our own free will, not as robots and puppets taking orders from some madman which is what "mind control" is all about. Satan has many puppets. Keep your eyes on Jesus and ask Him to protect your mind and renew your mind daily in the things of God.
Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready for every good work, to speak evil of no man, not to be brawlers, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But after the kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, He saved us not by works of righteousness which we had done, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration, and by the renewing of the Holy Ghost, which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that, being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:1-7
Mind-reading technique developed in US
A mind-reading technique that allows scientists to accurately read people's thoughts has been developed in the United States.
www.telegraph.co.uk | 19 February 2009
The use of scanners to read brain signals allowed the researchers to correctly determine which of two images their guinea pigs were looking at 80 per cent of the time. The test is one in a series in which scientists have read minds using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners, which are normally used in hospitals to detect the flow of blood around the brain using a radiomagnetic field and radio waves.
Dr Stephanie Harrison, who led the study at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, asked six volunteers to look at different images on a screen - one of a circle with almost horizontal lines across it and one of a circle with almost vertical lines across it.
As they were shown the images, monitoring showed that different sides of their brains had lit up.
They were then asked to remember one particular circle and, from looking at the pattern of brain activity, the researchers were able to tell with considerable accuracy which one they were thinking of.
Writing in the journal Nature, Dr Harrison said: "Decoding accuracy greatly exceeded chance-level performance of 50 per cent and proved highly reliable in the six participants."
While the study does not unlock the secrets of mind-reading or thought prediction, it does allow scientists to determine which parts of the brain are involved in short-term visual memory.
Previously, scientists in California asked volunteers to look at 1,750 images then used MRI scans to correctly judge, in nine out of ten cases, which one they were thinking of.
Lead researcher Dr Jack Gallant warned after the results were published last year: "It is possible decoding brain activity could have serious ethical and privacy implications. We believe that no one should be subjected to any form of brain-reading involuntarily, covertly, or without informed consent."
Mind reading 'a step closer to reality'
Mind reading has come a step closer to reality after scientists used a brain scanner to decipher memories in the brains of four volunteers.
www.telegraph.co.uk | 13 March 2009/
Researchers said the development meant it could be possible to tell whether someone was telling the truth or a lie by observing their thought patterns. However, the technology is thought to be at least 10 years away.
The British scientists were able to tell where an individual had been "standing" inside a virtual reality room from records of their brain activity.
Using a computer keypad, four young male volunteers navigated virtual reality rooms, choosing to "stand" in one of four locations marked by a rug.
Their heads had been placed in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scanner, allowing their brain activity to be monitored.
Focusing on the hippocampus, the small area of the brain vital to navigation, memory recall and imagining future events, the scientists measured blood flow related to neural activity.
A sophisticated computer program was then used to work out the locations the subjects had visited in virtual space based on their brain activity.
Patterns were detected which reflected the participants' memories of where they had been.
Professor Eleanor Maguire, from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging at University College London, said: "Just by looking at the brain data we could predict exactly where they were in the virtual reality environment. In other words we could 'read' their spatial memories. With this kind of research, we are approaching the realm of mind reading.
"By looking at activity over tens of thousands of neurons, we can see there must be a functional structure - a pattern - to how these memories are encoded," said Prof Maguire. "Otherwise, our experiment simply would not have been possible to do."
