Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; – 2 Corinthians 10:5
If you’re struggling with unhelpful thoughts…don’t.
Instead, just kick them out using the Authority of the Word of God.
They don’t have a right to reside in your head, unless you grant them that right.
And even if you have granted them that right, you have the Authority and power to change your mind and drive them out.
Lust, anxiety, addictions, helplessness, hopelessness, frustration, selfishness…
These are some of the migrant thoughts that are constantly trying to sneak across the border of your mind, work illegally, steal land under squatter’s rights and redefine your internal culture by the dysfunctions they bring with them.
And they’re aided by all the media we’re constantly being bombarded with throughout the day.
They want in, but they can’t get in without your permission.
So your job is to keep renewing your mind with the Word of God.
And if any thought doesn’t line up with what the Word says, kick it out…regardless of how you feel about it.
