TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT

DECEMBER 1 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish argument and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
​TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT
​Christians, our spiritual warfare is often fought on the battleground of our minds, and the conflict involves bringing all our thoughts and desires into line with Christ’s character and purposes. Failing to do so will lead to ungodly thoughts, which in turn will lead to immoral desires, wicked behavior and, in the end, spiritual death (Romans 6:16, 23; 8:13; James 1:14-15; Mark 7:20-21). The following six steps will help to bring your thought life under Christ’s Leadership and authority.
  1. Be aware that God knows every thought and that nothing is hidden from Him (Psalms 94:11; 139:2, 23-24). You will have to give account to God for your thoughts as well as for your words and actions (2 Corinthians 5:10; Ecclesiastes 12:14; Matthew 12:35-37; Romans 14:12).
  2. Be aware that your mind is a battleground. Some thoughts originate from you own desires, imaginations, and fantasies. Others come from worldly influences or directly from evil forces trying to influence your thinking. Whatever the source, ungodly thoughts and temptations will resist, oppose, and set themselves up “against the knowledge of God.” But you do not have to be a slave to your thoughts; you do have control over what you think. Keep in mind that it is not a sin to be tempted. Jesus Himself was tempted (Matthew 4:1-11). But giving in to temptation is sin. In fact, if you deliberately and foolishly expose yourself to images and situations that inspire ungodly thoughts and desires, you have already crossed a boundary line and set yourself up for spiritual failure (1 Corinthians 10:13).
  3. To “take captive every thought” requires doing battle against your sinful nature as well as Satan’s spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12-13; Matthew 4:3-11). It literally means that when a thought or temptation comes into your mind, you immediately take hold of it before it goes any further into your spirit. You then consider how it measures up to the standards of purity, decency and truth established in God’s Word. This means that you do not dwell on the thought and let it take hold of your mind, Instead, you take hold of the thought and turn it over to God, submitting it to His examination and relying on His strength to resist temptation. It is as if you are saying, “God, here it is take it. You already dealt with this as you suffered for my sin. I need your help with this issue, and I submit my thoughts to you.”
  4. Then, having submitted to God and having resisted and rejected the ungodly thought, you must replace the bad with the good - with thoughts and desires that honor God. Philippians 4:8 says that “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.” These kinds of thoughts will actually guard your mind against ungodly desires and help you say “No!” to the devil, temptation, and sin (Titus 2:11-12; James 4:7; Revelation 12:11; Matthew 4:3-11).
  5. Firmly focus your mind – your thoughts, desires, and strategies – on Christ and eternal things, rather than on earthly and temporary things (Philippians 3:19; Colossians 3:2). Remember that the mind controlled by the Spirit is characterized by life and peace (Romans 8:6-7). Fill your mind with thoughts of God and with His Word (Psalms 1:1-3; 19:7-14; 119) and with those things that are noble, excellent, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8).
  6. Always be careful what your eyes see, and your ears hear. These are the doors through which thoughts enter the mind.
  1.  Refuse to let your eyes or ears be instruments for ungodly sensual desires, moral corruption, or any “argument or every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God” (Verse 5; Job 31:1; 1 John 2:16).
  2. Refuse to set any worthless or evil thing in front of your eyes, whether in movies, books, magazines, pictures, television programs or in other areas of your daily life (Psalms 101:3; Isaiah 33:14-15; Romans 13:14).

    Book of Micah Bible Study

    $14.00

    Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of MICAH!

    The book of MICAH is from the Old Testament.


    The book of Micah contains many warnings of doom and prophecies of hope. 


    In this study on Micah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Micah.


    The prophet Micah was from the small town of Moresheth Gath in southern Judah, a productive agricultural area about 25 miles southwest of Jerusalem.

     Like Amos, he came from the rural countryside, probably from a family of humble status. While the prophet Isaiah was in Jerusalem addressing the king and international affairs, 

    Micah was a country prophet who was deeply sensitive to the social issues that affected the small towns and villages throughout Judah. 


    I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

    Thank you,

    Book of Habakkuk Bible Study

    $14.00

    Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of HABAKKUK!


    NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. 


    Habakkuk is a minor prophet, and this book is unique from the other prophets in that instead of the prophet speaking God's Word to the people, it records Habakkuk's personal dialogue with God.


    When I read this book, about a week ago, I felt that I needed to share HABAKKUK with you. 

    Let's be honest with each other we have all questioned God and perhaps His existence in our life.

    There is so much evil and injustice that exists in the world, Does God Care? 

    Learn how the storms of life can become opportunities to activate your faith in Habakkuk. 

    I invite you to go through this bible study with me.

     Thank You,

    Book of Zephaniah Bible Study

    $14.00

    Here at Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series we are starting the book of ZEPHANIAH!

    The book of ZEPHANIAH is from the Old Testament. It only has 3 chapters. 


    The book of Zephaniah contains Destruction and Salvation / The Day of the LORD

    In this study on Zephaniah I hope to provide an overview and lessons we can learn from the book of Zephaniah.


    Zephaniah, whose name means "the LORD hides," was a great-great-grandson of King Hezekiah of Judah and prophesied during the reign of Josiah (639-609B.C.), Judah's last godly ruler (Zephaniah 1:1). Zephaniah's reference to Jerusalem as "this place" (Zephaniah 1:4), as well as his detailed description of Jerusalem's landscape and its sins, supports the belief by scholars that he lived in this city. 

    Join the study to learn so much more. 


    I invite you to go through this Bible Study with me.

    Book of Haggai Bible Study

    $14.00

    Tailspin Farms Life in Grace Bible Study series on the book of Haggai!


    NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. 


    THEME / PURPOSE: Rebuilding the Temple: Obedience to God Brings the Strength of His Spirit.


    Haggai is the first of three prophetic books in the Old Testament (Haggai, Zachariah and Malachi) written after many of God’s people had returned from exile throughout what was, at that time, the Persian Empire (based on narratives in Ezra and Nehemiah the initial return of exiles to Jerusalem)...


    A book containing a message of trust, commitment, and work.

    It involves a practice of:

    • meditation
    • prayer
    • and offerings

    that should be done on a day to day basis to fix God in the very center of our life in order to maintain that place of peace and rest.

    A place that many of us venture out into the world to find, not realizing the work of the temple begins with us, inside.


    I invite you to go through this bible study with us.


     Thank You,

    Margaret

    Book of Matthew Bible Study

    $20.00

    I'm excited to announce the new bible study starting soon.

    Tailspin Farms Life In Grace will be studying The Book of Matthew.  


    NOTE: THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD ONLY AND DOES NOT INCLUDE A PHYSICAL COPY OF THE BIBLE STUDY. 


    The Gospel of Matthew

    he Word Gospel. The first book of the English Bible that most of us read from is the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew is the first of the four gospel writings, yet there is only one gospel about Jesus Christ and there are four different writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The word "Gospel" means "good news", and the good news is about Jesus Christ dying on the cross and then 3 days later conquering death and rising from the dead, offering salvation to all mankind, this is the Gospel.


    I hope you that you'll participate in this 15-week series.

    Matthew has 28 chapters. For the in-depth study the 154-page eBook will help with your study.
