2 Corinthians 10:5-6

We can’t go through life letting our brains think anything it wants, unchecked. All spiritual growth and life change begins in the brain! Satan attacks us primarily at a thought level and God transforms us primarily at a thought level. God wants our thoughts to be full of truth, faith, hope, joy, and thanksgiving. So, we must pay close attention to what we're thinking about. And when we catch thoughts that don’t fit the mind of Christ, we have to grab them and say “NO”! We must replace “lie” thoughts with “truth” thoughts. We must learn to give God “praise & thanksgiving” even when we don’t feel like it!

PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 - "We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete."

PAUSE: Every day our brain processes over 70,000 thoughts, over 70 percent of them are negative, and over 90% of them are repetitive. Paul exhorted us to take every one of them captive! Pause and ask the Lord to help your thoughts.

PRAYER: Father, just reading this verse, I am overwhelmed. Thank you for the power of the Holy Spirit, who can help me to take these thoughts captive.
