Case Study

Conviction. "It is with..." 
Metaphor. "The mind is the battleground."
Rhetoric. People who go to bed tired and wake up tired.. sleep 8 hours and wake up still tired.
Rhetoric (Undermine assumptions). You got sleep but you didn't get rest.
Unconflating the conflated. "Your got sleep but you didn't get rest."
Tribal conflict. "The enemy is after your mind."
Reality. Metaphor. "You've been wrestling in your sleep." "wake up to sweat".
Metaphor. "Your mind is still caught up in a warfare."
Repetition. 
1. Out to worry you to death
2. Out to stress you to death
3. Out to break you down
6. 6. 6. Out to make you quit
7. Out to make you think that you can't get up
8. Out to make you give up on your dream

warfare is in your mind
it's not in your checkbook
it's not in your savings account
it's not on your job
The fight that you've got to fight is in your mind

And if you can whip it in your head
You can whip it in your checkbook
You can whip it on your job
You can whip it out of your children
But you got to drive it out of your head.

It is with the mind that we serve the lord
