Part 3: Defeating Negative Thoughts

THE BATTLE IN YOUR MIND

PART 3

“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 (NIV)

• YOUR THOUGHTS DESERVE AND REQUIRE YOUR ATTENTION.

“Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.”

Philippians 1:12-13 (NIV)

• PERSPECTIVE IS POWERFUL.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

Philippians 4:6-8 (NIV)

• FILL YOUR THOUGHTS WITH WHAT IS GOOD. - GOD IS ON YOUR SIDE.
