Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run
your life! Proverbs 4:23
One of the biggest challenges in the world is to keep
our thoughts under control. They are like a butterfly
flitting from one flower to another, our thoughts stream
uncontrolled through our mind, going from one subject
to another, unable to focus.
Our emotions help them along the way, giving them a nudge,
and bringing up past issues to change our perception.
Then, our mouth opens, and out comes whatever
is in the depths of our mind and heart.
There is no hiding the truth is there?
Whatever is in our heart, will come out. We may play
games, or hem and haw, and beat around the bush,
but the Bible says out of the abundance of the heart
the mouth speaks.
The Bible tells us to bring our thoughts into captivity.
Why? Because it is a spiritual war going on within our
minds daily. Fighting for control, fighting for authority,
fighting for your joy, fighting to keep you from reading
the word of God. satan the loser wants your mind.
Are you going to stand back and let him do that?
Maybe you already are.. and just don't recognize it.
Tell me, what was your focus today?
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty
in God for pulling down strongholds.
Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts
itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every
THOUGHT into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5
So there is a little guy in your head arguing, and exalting
itself against God.. saying I am not going to do what you
want ... it is my life, I can think and do what I please.
And at that very moment, despair starts to wash in your
spirit.. because truthfully.. we control nothing. We need
God. And we need to clear our minds of the debris
so he may fill that place.
Dedicated space.. in our minds.. ruled by the spirit of
God.. that we may be mighty in prayer, mighty in
strength, holy in our spirit, and right before God.
Pure, undefiled by the thinking of the world.
Focused, driven, surrendered, captivated with God.
In His presence, drawn, clinging, and filling up.
All He is ... is all we will ever need.
Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run
your life! Proverbs 4:23
Who is running your life tonite?
If it is not God, the solution is prayer. We get on our
knees, confess our sins, receive his salvation and forgiveness
and renew our hearts and mind in Him.
God says we are either for him or against him.
Where do you stand?
remember
Only one life, will soon be past
Only what is done, for Christ will last
