Holding your thoughts captive
Why you should hold your thoughts captive
The bible says as a man thinketh so he is
We need to observe our thoughts we’re having on a day to day basis
Our self talk can either make us or break us
By monitoring your thoughts and redirecting the to Godly things, helps keep us holy is the sight of God
People tend to think of past situations or future events that lead to regret and worry
When we place out thought process on things above, we in return recieve things from above
God is delighted when we hold every thought captive and through this disaplen we are able to enjoy peace and joy thoughout the day
This is another attribute of living with the mind of Christ
Gaurding our thoughts leads to being ever present with the Lord
I’ve come to a point where I’ve filtered my thoughts and got good on placing all my thoughts on things from above such as my spiritual gifts
Self control is a discipline at first but can be achieved through daily practice
Most of my thoughts are fixed on the Lord and how I can be more pleasing to Him
Though out the day we struggle with uncontrolled thoughts and we tend to give our attention to them and give them life
But when we practice self control, we hold ourselves accountable and start gaining a Christ centered thought process
Can you imagine how this simple act of obedience could transform your life
Fixing our thoughts on God and His ways, it seems to lighten the load of worry and doubt
The bible teaches us not to worry over three hundred times and we should rest in that peace and be still
God sees our commitment to Him and I believe He honors us and shows unimaginable favor on us
When thoughts arise that are contradicting to the Word of God we should take a step back and redirect that thought to a heavenly thought
I’ve come to realize there is a special kind of peace and comfort that you experience though out your day and you have more assurance you are on the righteous path God has put you on
After practicing this it becomes natural to not give attention to self destructive thought patterns
You become set free of continual thoughts day in and day out and live more in a state of the present moment
After a little while you’ll gain momentum and in becomes a natural state of being to hold you thoughts captive and enjoy a positive and stable thought process and can start to enjoy the riches that come with it
