We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5
Have you ever been on a super spiritual ‘high’ as a result of a retreat, conference, message, quiet time and you have purposed in your heart you will not allow the enemy to send you to a pit of anger, despair, ill feelings, and silly imaginations but alas junk starts penetrating your mind and you might find yourself even crying and screaming?
Scripture tells us the testing of our faith produces perseverance(James 1:3) yet do you ever just lose it sometimes and feel like you can’t go on? You have to intentionally purpose in your heart to let certain things go no matter how much you are tempted to speak out. Let things go!! Let God take the wheel!
Tragedy, depression, wrong thinking all originate with Satan. “A former ‘rocket booster friend’ named Linda who I knew in Iowa shared 1 Peter 4:10 when I was going through garbage. “And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” Now that is the truth. Keeping your mind focused takes discipline and scream at Satan and tell him to get his stinking hands off you and those you love.
PRAYER: Satan is the author of mental anguish and torment. He doesn’t want me to have victory but I will despite his attempts to sabotage me. Prayer goes up for all those struggling in this area. Give me strength to shut out wrong voices. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
