WE HAVE TO CONTROL WHAT WE THINK AND SUBDUE OUR THOUGHTS TO JESUS CHRIST
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 10:5
It is up to us to be willing to destroy any attempt of the enemy in trying to take control of our minds. The devil drops his thoughts into our minds trying to make us sin. What is tempting for one person may not be tempting for another. The enemy knows what attracts us and what to use to deceive us. We are the ones who have to “resist him, steadfast in the faith,” no matter how many times he returns, or how attractive he “packages” his deception. If we do not know or fight our weaknesses with the Bible verses that give us victory in these areas, we become his victims.
By keeping calm and having the right attitude, we will be able to conquer and surmount all obstacles the devil places in our path. We thank God for his Holy Word whereby, we can apply the Bible verses endless times, over the years. We may not manage to keep a right attitude every time, but will certainly make great progress over time, and continue to grow in the right direction with Jesus’ help. There is hope for every single one of us.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Dear Lord, there is no way for me to keep my calm and have the right attitude without the help and guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me when things go wrong, to stop and give any negative thoughts to Jesus, to keep my calm and to hear how You want me to handle the situation and moreover, to accomplish it. Thank You Lord, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
