Ok first let’s start with some scripture on this:Colossians 3:2 (NIV):"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."Romans 12:2 (NIV):"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."Isaiah 26:3 (NIV):"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in you."James 4:7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.These are just some scripture to get you started. We have the ability through Jesus to have our minds renewed, to resist the enemies lies, to have peace in our minds etc.  BUT again it’s THROUGH Jesus that this happens. It’s through a relationship with Him that we can capture the thoughts and bring them to Him to deal with. Jesus’ death and resurrection gave us access to relationship with the Father but also access to His power. We are stronger than the enemy. We are stronger than anything the world can bring against us…as long as we submit to God and partner with Him. Hopefully that gives you hope and strength… you have the power through Jesus friend!Ok here are some things to help youBe aware of your thoughts and thought patterns. When you feel the yucky thoughts coming, pause and bring them to God in prayer. Ask Him for the wisdom and strength to discern the lies from the truth.         James 1:5- If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him            2. Get in your word! When you meditate on scripture and fill your mind with God’s word you can use it to fight the mind battles. There are so many scriptures that can help you replace the icky thoughts with God’s truth!!             3.  Speak out God’s truth!So this is where being aware and shutting it down before you even make the climb to the top of the slide, comes in. Be aware and speak LIFE over yourself. Give your barista body the order or gratitude, joy or peace instead of anger frustration or fear. And then follow it up with speaking out scripture that backs up the feelings you want to be produced in your life! And ps- it’s ok to feel frustrated or angry. Acknowledge those feelings BUT dont’ let them stay and take over. That is my point. Cause THAT is when we start to take a ride on the crazy slide. So recognize the feelings, give them to the Lord, and speak life over yourself so you can move forward in truth!! Exchanging the lies for truth. Ok next week will be part two of learning to capture our thoughts so stay tuned! Be encouraged, challenged and blessed today!!✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Be more amazing and leave a review!- https://lovethepodcast.com/LoHGyj✨Want some fun free resources?
