Ponder the path of your feet, And let all your ways be established.

Proverbs 4:26 NKJV

Think About That\n

Ever found yourself throwing a fit or losing it when things you planned are not as successful as you had hoped? I have, and like me, you need to let the Word of God deal with you concerning how you deal with life\u2019s disappointments.\n

Seriously pray for God to give you an anointing for mercy in stressful situations because losing it and bad mouthing others are surefire ways to let the devil have your witness.\n

When thoughts turn to anger, blame, excuses, slander (false witness), envy or infighting, we lose control. There is a reason the nine Fruits of the Spirit begin with love and end with self-control. Our thoughts are to be loving and controlled so that ungodly mindsets will be disposed of.\u00a0 Instead of losing your mind, stand! Make a clear and definitive stand in your thinking so your mind glorifies and belongs to the Lord in every way.\n

Remember, your brain has teeth. If you do not command, restrain and control it, it will chew your life \u2013 and your testimony of Christ \u2013 to pieces. You can forget about fighting the devil or overcoming the world until you get real about dealing with the three pounds of flesh between your ears.\n

It\u2019s time to take back your God-given mental turf with clear strategies from the Word. You are to \u201ctake every thought captive\u201d and to \u201chave the mind of Christ.\u201d When ungodly thoughts creep in, kick them out in the name of Jesus. Purpose to think of something good, or do what I do, change the mental channel by singing praises.\n

I want to encourage you to not let yourself lose your mind when things don\u2019t go the way you planned. The collateral damage of lost relationships and a compromised testimony are devastating to the Kingdom.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Think About That

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

God loves me too much to let me lose my mind. I love Him, so I take every thought that comes into my mind captive so that it agrees with Jesus’ words and ways. There is so much good in my life now that He is in it; I think on those things.
