Our greatest battles are many times in our minds. Staying positive and thinking pure and lovely thoughts, as the Bible instructs to do in Philippians 4:8, is much harder than it seems. Our thoughts lead to our beliefs, which lead to our actions, which lead to the quality of our lives. Our thoughts have too great of an impact for us not to guard them and keep our minds on God. For this reason, the Apostle Paul instructed the Church at Corinth to “destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV)
But what does it mean to take our thoughts captive and how do we do it? I’m showing you how in this week’s video plus I’m sharing my personal 3 step prayer process to taking every thought captive because let’s face it, making our thoughts obedient to Christ is not as easy as it seems. Good for us the help we need to honor God with our thoughts, and subsequently our actions, is one prayer away. Enjoy!
Now I’d love to hear from you Beloved, please comment and let me know how you take your thoughts captive to obey Christ? I’m looking forward to chatting with you in the comments.

One response to “Taking Captive Every Thought”
I used to believe that because of my past sins, I was unworthy of my husband’s love. My husband is a sweet, caring man. I believed that my husband was too good for me. He loves me very much, but I believed I didn’t deserve his love.
This video has inspired me to replace this lie with a truth from the Bible: I am a chosen one of God, holy and beloved! (Colossians 3:12).
I believe the truth: I am worthy of the love my husband has for me.
Thank you for posting.
