Taking Thoughts Captive

SERIES PASSAGE:

1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is His good, pleasing, and perfect will. Romans 12: 1-2 (NIV)

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 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, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (NKJV)

HOW DO YOU TAKE YOUR THOUGHTS CAPTIVE?

1.   _______ FOR PROBLEM AREAS IN YOUR LIFE

2. ______________THE LIES YOU ARE BELIEVING

  • It may not feel like a lie at all, but is it something that God would speak to you? Does it line up with His Word?

3. _______________ FOR WHAT GOD SAYS ON THE SUBJECT

  • Every single struggle you are going through – there’s a verse for that!

4.   _________ YOUR THOUGHTS THROUGH PHILIPPIANS 4:8

“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” Phillippians 4:8 (NIV)

5. ______________________YOUR THOUGHTS EVERY TIME YOU NOTICE THE LIE POPS UP

  • Keep redirecting your thoughts back to what God says is true.
