VOP 2021: October 10, 2021 - power of Godly thoughts

VOP 2021: October 10, 2021 Power of Godly thoughts:: Our heart is the power house that receives all manner of information and suggestions, positive and negative. Therefore we must constantly and intentionally guard it diligently by meditating on the Word of God. When the devil wants to tempt a person or cause any wickedness, he introduces a thought or suggestion that seems real and tries to make you buy into it through constant persuasion. This was the case with Adam and Eve at the garden of Eden. It is our responsibility to reject every thought contrary to the Word and bring it under captivity to the obedience of Christ. This is achievable by our profession or confession of God’s Word which is immutable and reliable. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10:3-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.” Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah‬ ‭29:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
