WHO CONTROLS YOUR THOUGHTS?

 2  CORINTHIANS  10:5 - 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.      _________________________________________________________One reason Satan's stronghold are so powerful is that they become entrenched. This happens when Satan can get you to buy into the lie that your situation is hopeless. His goal is to get you to believe that by nature you are a drug addict or a manipulator or a negative person, that you are controlled by fear or shame, that nothing will ever change, and so on. Once you give in to and adopt this line of thinking, these fortresses become difficult to remove. Your behavior deteriorates even more since all of us act according to who we believe we are. The only solution is to tear down these fortresses by [ taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ ] Program your mind and release yourself from captivity. This is how you unleash your full potential and free yourself up to them help other men rise to do the same. The solution is twofold but straightforward. First, identify Christ's thoughts on a matter, and secondly, align your own thinking under the rule of His truth. Then the truth will set you free ( JOHN  8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free ).                      _________________________________________________________IN WHAT AREAS OF YOUR LIFE DO YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR THOUGHTS CAPTIVITY?                                                    _________________________________________________________PHILIPPIANS  4:8 - 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.                                            _________________________________________________________

AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS!

WHO IS THIS KING OF GLORY? THE LORD STRONG AND MIGHT, THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE. LEFT UP YOUR HEADS, O YE GATES; EVEN LIFT THEM UP, YE EVERLASTING DOORS; AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL COME IN.
