CONTROLLING YOUR THOUGHT PART 1: PHILIPPIANS 4.8-9, MATTHEW 15:18-19


1 Corinthian 10:4(For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 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).

As man thinks in his heart so he is. We are a replica of our thinking. Our heart is a vital part of our lives. God relates to us through our heart. It is very important to guide what goes in and out of our heart. Jesus Christ said that what we eat does not defile a man but what comes out of the heart defiles. Matthew 15:18(But those things which proceed out of the mouth comes forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies). Those who do evil first think about it in their heart and act it out. Matthew 9:4(And knowing their thoughts said wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?). If our heart is full of evil thought God will not be able to relate with us and we need God's presence to manifest destiny. Don’t allow Satan to be bombarding your heart with evil thoughts. He likes to inundate his victim with rubbish thoughts. If the victim does not know what to do he will be overwhelmed and start acting it out. With that, he has succeeded in keeping you away from God. That will not be your portion in Jesus name. Life is a battle and our heart is the battlefield. The bible said that the battle is not between flesh and blood. It is a spiritual battle and only a man and a woman of the spirit can win. The weapon to win this battle is our faith in the word of God. We need to fill our heart with God’s word and Satan will not find a place in our heart. Those evil thoughts want to exalt itself against the word of God. It is your responsibility to show him who the master is. Satan wants you in captivity and the only way he can accomplish that is to inundate you with his evil thoughts. So, it is a war. What you need to do is to bring him into captivity to the obedience of Christ. How? Submit every of your thoughts to Christ to filter it. Compared what your heart is telling to the word of God. If it is contrary, you need to show him who the captain of your ship is because you cannot have two captains in the same ship, it will capsize and I know you don’t want to end up that way. 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). If you compare these two scripture you will see that they are contrary to one another (Matthew 15:18-19 and Philippians 4:8). Many believers today are suffering from this problem. God has opened my eyes to this mystery and I wanted to share with my readers, it works like fire. Some people committed suicide because they could not defeat the controlling power while others committed a crime because the evil thought over power them. It is very disturbing because that’s not who you are originally. You know yourself that those thoughts can never proceed from you but yet you are overwhelmed. Those who are already in darkness will not be disturbed because that’s how they operate. You need to meditate on the word of God and declare it openly. Address Satan directly to get behind you. Some of the weapons to engage are: The word of God, The blood of Jesus, The Holy Ghost and Praise. These weapons can only work in the hand of a believer. If you have not made Jesus Christ the captain of your ship; now is the right time, do it and be blessed in Jesus name

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
