Through the Holy Spirit, He gives us the power and responsibility to intercept our thoughts before they take root in our hearts. 💟
So thankful for this HOPE and GRACE!
2 Cor. 10: 3-6
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, our weapons have divine power to demolish strongholds.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.”
Steps to take for this to take root in our lives:
#1. [Be Aware]
Pay attention to your thoughts and identify those that are negative, anxious, or contrary to God's Word.
2. [Capture & Challenge]: Mentally "arrest" and take captive that thought and see if it aligns with Scripture.
3. [Use God's Word]: Meditate and KNOW Scripture (like Philippians 4:8) to find truth to replace the lie.
4.[Submit to Christ]: Deliberately bring that thought under the authority of Jesus, and ask Him to help you change the thought and think as He would.
5. [Practice & Focus]: This takes consistent effort, like training a muscle. To be aware of our thoughts, know Scripture so we can realign our thinking, and to allow the Spirit to change our thoughts, which will then change our hearts, decisions, actions and life. 🧠 🙏 💪 📕 ✨
