You get to choose what you think

You get to choose what you think

You're as free as you are free in your mind.

First words of warfare
"Hath God really saith..."

Before satan can defeat you he has to disarm you.

Battlefield of good and evil is in the mind. No one is going to get set free until they want to get free. The place where you engage your enemy is in your thoughts. Any thought that you don't take captive will take you captive.

2 Cor 10:3-5

You decide what you think. You decide what gets to enter there AND reside there. You are the gate keeper of your mind.

James 4:7
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

What's the litmus test for stuff entering into our mind? Truth.

Ask: is this truth according to Gods Word that is in my mind? Otherwise you will be governed by your emotions and your thoughts.

Ephesians 6:10-17
That person that is bothering you so much is not your enemy.

There are spiritual battles with physical manifestations.

Reproduce truth and eliminate error. Many people instead meditate and think about error, and when they do that they eliminate the truth. Satan wants to convince you that you are not righteous in Christ and that you are a failure. What should happen is that you should meditate and think on the TRUTH and this will eliminate error by doing so.

Sift and filter what enters your mind with the Word of God.
The filter should not be your feelings. Do not depend on your feelings to allow what makes you feel good to stay in your mind. Our life is not about making money and living a comfortable life. Your life is about living life in Truth.

Heb 4:12-13

Know who you are in Christ. Meditate on the fact that you are in Christ. Four practical way to get Word into yourself: when you wake up, when you sit around idly, when you are commuting, when you go to bed. You can meditate on the Word and think on scripture that relates to what you're going through in life right now. For example if you're feeling fear, meditate and chew on Scripture that talks about that. You can also read a scripture and ask God what He has to teach you through that scripture. You don't have to feel like you have to race through the Bible reading as fast as you can.

You can't remove a thought from your mind just like that... You have to replace it with another thought. And Gods thoughts are more powerful than any other.

Sermon notes from Citw

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...

Today

Today David my brother in law who is visiting us for the summer, found a ticket on the train to Chicago. Soon after we arrived and left the train, a man came up asking for help in buying a ticket for the train. David had one! Praise God that this you g man now had this ticket, as God provides opportnities like this to impact the world in a positive way. Mom Reyes, my mom in law, told me a story about a homeless veteran who died outside in the winter months in Alexandria. She said that he was offered help and was off the streets for six months, but after that time he was back homeless. Mom said that the man, Jimmy, may have had trouble with his mind. He may have had trouble keeping a job in his state of mind. That's tragic.

Today at work, I was searching for a solution to a project, regarding calculating of shipping to Canada with Google Checkout, and was browsing in FireFox, with some search results open in a window. I was then about to open up an Internet Explorer window, which had some examples to resolve the issue at hand, though in XML code, which was different than what I use at work, but felt in my hear not to open that window, but to continue searching in FireFox. After continuing to search in FireFox, the next search result I opened included an example to Canada with the code which I use. Weeeeoeoeoeooewoowowowowowowoow owwoowowowo. Obedience to the Lord is woowowowowoowowoeooeooeooewoowo eowoowoeoowowwwowowowo awesome.
