Grace for Unity\n

One of the signs of a mature church and a mature Christian is they make themselves ready for battle. They are prepared for Satan\u2019s attacks on their thought life.\u00a0\u00a0You see, the church Jesus comes back for is described in Revelation 19:7 as a bride who has made herself ready. Peter made it clear our minds must be ready as well.\n

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind\u2026 \u2013\u00a01 Peter 5:2-3\n

To have a ready mind means to be eagerly prepared to serve. You heard it \u2013 the first step to making your mind ready for battle is a willingness to serve God in your thinking.\n

Do you believe Jesus Christ wants to rule your mind and work all things for your good? If so, you need to serve Him in the arena of your thinking.\n

Are you prepared to think about how much God loves you instead of that one dummy who doesn\u2019t? Are you eager to remember what God has done for you instead of what people have done for you? Are you ready to let God download His plans and goals for your life into you instead of thinking about what you want all the time?\n

If you answered \u201cno\u201d to any of those questions, get with the program! The attacks are coming. Heck, the enemy is already at the gate, and you didn\u2019t recognize him. Armor up!\n

\u201cLet us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.\u201d\u00a0\u2013 Revelation 19:7","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"}">Grace for Unity

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

Jesus said, “In this world, you will have trouble.” Christians are not immune to tragedy and attacks of the devil. He promised His peace and presence to overcome these trials. Peace is mine, and I declare peace over my life today.
