Thoughts Taking Action in the Mind Take control of your mind. Your mind is your business. My mind is mine. I will decide what thoughts should go on in my mind. I refuse to allow my mind to wander aimlessly.

Thoughts Taking Action in the Mind Philippians 4:8 “Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.”

Thoughts Taking Action in the Mind Avoid passivity. Do not keep your mind blank. An idle mind becomes the devil’s workshop.

Thoughts How to take action : RSVP Reject wrong thoughts, imaginations and feelings with the Word of God Speak the Word of God over your mind Visualize the Word of God, positive things, etc. Pray and protect your mind – ask God for help to keep a pure mind

Thoughts A, Taking Control of Your Mind—Fighting Evil Desires James 1:13-16 (NKJV) 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. 15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

Thoughts A, Taking Control of Your Mind—Fighting Evil Desires Galatians 5:24 (NKJV) And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Thoughts A, Taking Control of Your Mind—Fighting Evil Desires Whatever you feed, grows. Whatever you starve, dies. Starve the ‘fleshly lusts’, the ungodly desires of your body and mind.

Thoughts B, Taking Control of Your Mind—Fighting Demonic Darts 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 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,

Thoughts B, Taking Control of Your Mind—Fighting Demonic Darts Understand your mind is yours. Judge or evaluate every thought, every reasoning and every imagination in the light of Scripture. Discern, Discipline and Deal with every thought.

Thoughts D, Taking Control of Your Mind-Overcoming Fear, Worry & Anxiety To walk in perfect peace you must discipline your mind to rest, rely on the Lord. You must maintain thoughts that express your dependence on the Lord and on outcomes resulting from your dependence on the Lord.

Thoughts D, Taking Control of Your Mind-Overcoming Fear, Worry & Anxiety Philippians 4:6,7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Thoughts E, Taking Control of Your Mind - Pulling Down Strongholds Pulling down strongholds needs a bit more work. Thoughts, arguments and imaginations come and go through the mind everyday. But strongholds have been built over a period of time.

Thoughts E, Taking Control of Your Mind - Pulling Down Strongholds Repent. Repentance simply means a change in your thinking. Start thinking differently. Submit that area to God. Reject (Resist) corresponding demonic spirits that may have gained entrance. 23:29).

Thoughts E, Taking Control of Your Mind - Pulling Down Strongholds Renounce every activity that would have opened doors to demonic influences. Remove the bricks. A stronghold is a ‘house’ made up of thoughts. Each one of these bricks that are built in the stronghold has to be dislocated and removed with the Word. God’s Word is like a hammer that breaks them down (Jeremiah 23:29).
