Aligning Your Thoughts with God and the Word

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

He who seeks good finds goodwill, but evil comes to him who searches for it.  Proverbs 11:27

Its easy to become discouraged when you are in a world surrounded by negativity.  But as in Eph 6:10-20, we fight against principalities, wickedness, and spiritual hosts and one of our tools in the battle is the Word of God.  We must surround ourselves with positive, faith-filled scriptures and confess them daily to renew our minds in the fight.  If you lack strength or the energy to complete something, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" gives you that strength or that energy to complete your task.(Phi 4:13)  This is not an overnight process or something that can be done in the blink of an eye.  Oftentimes your own faith will be tested several times in the midst but you must continue to align your thoughts and keep them in line.  Satan uses suggestion to turn you off track with one thought.

Love you!
