Thoughts
I admonish you on this day to order your thoughts aright. Thoughts, just like words, are creative. Therefore, one must be diligent to take their thoughts captive. For unless one masters their mind, they become its slave. I Am not suggesting this is an easy task, but one will never reach potential with an unruly mind.
The importance of this task is then profound, and the wise will diligently set to work to rule, rather than be ruled over. So set your mind on things above that lift your soul. Activate the mind of a king by seeking wisdom, and gathering riches more costly than gold. Dwell on things that are pure, good and upright.
Through thoughts your world is created. Relationships, circumstances, health and well-being can be built through right thinking. You cry to Me for help, but little can be accomplished through an unrenewed mind.
Fear and anxiety are twins of destruction—two witnesses of unbelief and thieves of all peace. Reconsider My admonition to be anxious for nothing. For once anxiety is allowed to take possession of the mind, fear is right behind.
Together, they sap your spiritual energy and set in motion, all manner of destructive physical mechanisms. Eventually manifesting in physical and or mental illness. Remember, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.
(2 Timothy 1:7)
Therefore, I implore you, sons and daughters, to overcome the carnal mind, which is at enmity with the Spirit. For first and foremost, the battlefield is in the mind. If your thoughts are not My thoughts, they cannot bear good fruit. If you do not take all thoughts captive, you have not only lost the battle, but the war.
Teach your children this truth early so they may possess a trained, disciplined mind, and avoid the very difficult struggles of those who are of mature age with a lifetime of deeply ingrained habits and carnal, negative thought patterns.
My grace, it is sufficient to the pulling down of strongholds. You are not alone and with diligent application, you will receive your reward. For a spirit-controlled mind is free from torment. Soon, with diligence, you will see your world turn around.
Remember, I told Israel that their enemies would flee before them, and I would drive them out, but not all at one time. I said I would give them as much as they were able to possess.
In like manner, dominion over your thoughts and mind will be a progressive work, but the kingdom is yours to possess—a kingdom of peace, joy, and righteousness. For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. To him who has an ear, hear what the Spirit says.
2 Corinthians 10:4-For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
Exodus 23:30-Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and possess the land.
