You can control your thoughts! “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 NKJV
This verse is attainable, we can do it! There is one thing that is more powerful than any thought that you will ever think and that is the Word of God! This is why we must be skillful in handling the Word. We must know what it says above all else because we will use the Word of God to capture every thought, judge it and either cast it down or receive it and think on it.
Where we have gone wrong is believing the lie from the enemy that we can not control our thoughts. The devil wants us to believe that it is “only natural” to think certain thoughts. Don’t buy the lie! You were created to think life God thinks and to think on all that is true! Check out this powerful verse…“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” – Philippians 4:8 KJV This is our standard, ruler, filter and measure whereby we judge EVERY thought that we find in our mind! If it is not true, don’t think on it, replace it with the Word of God. Arrest that thought, take hold of it and cast it down. Then replace it with the truth of God’s Word by speaking it out of your mouth! Loud and clear!
