EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many of us battle destructive thoughts that are constantly slashing our good intentions. You must fight to free your mind! Our old mind battles our old sinful nature. You are a new creation in Christ.
“Those who aren’t dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit, think about things that please the spirit.” (Romans 8:5)
Oftentimes, our old nature, before we knew Jesus, wants to creep back up in us and influence our thinking. But the Bible says to “resist the devil and he will run away from you.” (James 4:7)
We must continuously place ourselves under God’s authority, and fight the thoughts that rise up and are anti-scriptural, and quite honestly, disobedient! Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Read 2 Corinthians 10:4-5.
We must never allow our thoughts the ability to grow and go wherever they want to, especially to their most destructive point, action. We must give God the authority to overcome such thoughts with His power.
Practice every day the consciousness of giving all your thoughts, words, and actions to God’s control. It starts with prayer, surrendering your will, and Bible reading before your day even begins!
It’s a must!
