TODAY’S DECLARATION
I declare in Jesus’ name that strongholds in my mind are being pulled down right now. I cast down the wall of lies and dismantle the curses I’ve spoken over myself brick by brick and those spoken by other stone by stone. I am blessed because of Jesus!
A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS…
Actually, God believes your thought life is priceless! That’s why he instructs you to think about very specific things.
You see, spiritually, your mind is a reproductive organ. It’s true! Twice, (Ephesians 6:13 and 1 Peter 1:13) the Bible refers to your thinking realm as the “loins of your mind.” Now don’t go off the deep end here! This is what God is saying: Thinking on one thing always produces something else. Now, that “something else” can be good or bad, depending on what you are thinking!
Here is a good example from Psalms 8. When David considered the stars and the heavens, it made him realize how awesome and powerful God is! One thought led to another. You see, thinking on God things produces other God realizations.
On the other side of the coin, thinking on worldly things will produce more worldly thoughts. Like Eve, you are “talking to snakes” when you practice worldly thoughts and conversations in your head. This is dangerous as your thoughts generally become your actions.
Thinking about telling off your boss? Considering letting your spouse know they are wrong? Decide you’re not going to be pushed around anymore – that you are going to strike first? Those thoughts will bubble up into words and actions. It’s what they do! So, don’t practice for a fight because you will get one. Cast ungodly imaginations back to the pit of hell they came from!
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; – 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
If you don’t get a handle on bringing your thoughts into captivity to Christ Jesus, you will be “birthing” illegitimate thoughts and actions. Get your spiritual zipper up all the way and cover the loins of your mind with the Belt of Truth!
The truth is, you CAN control your thought life.
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY TO STOP TALKING TO SNAKES! THINK ON THINGS THAT ARE TRUE, NOBLE, RIGHT, PURE, LOVELY, ADMIRABLE, EXCELLENT AND PRAISEWORTHY. THE GOD OF PEACE WILL BE WITH YOU AND YOU WILL REPRODUCE GODLY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS!
