As Christians, we usually know this Scripture and most of us can quote it, but for some reason we have difficulty applying it in our own lives! Looking at these lying thoughts a little more, they can become absolute reality to you as you begin to believe them. This verse is very clear, that is we don’t pull down these thoughts that are contrary to the Truth, that they become a stronghold over our lives. You have to make sure that any thought that comes into your mind lines up with Scripture. You just have to be careful of your thought life.
You will see that this is very, very simple, however, the fight of faith can be difficult, but we are guaranteed victory through the finished work of Jesus. “We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.” Read this verse in some other translations. Then use that Truth to ‘pull down the thoughts’ that do not line up with that Truth: Capture and pull down thoughts and lies. First of all, discover they are lies by finding what God’s Word says about you and what Jesus made available through the Work He did on the Cross for you.
Sometimes the enemy is so subtle in your thoughts, you have a tough time figuring out which is which. The point here again, is that there is a force/source behind your thoughts: faith or fear, heaven or hell Ephesiians 6:12. We want you to begin understanding that there are usually two voices causing your thoughts, some people say three: God, yourself and the devil. As you understand that fear, PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts, bi-polar conditions, not having peace and joy, are all spiritual issues, and you bring the Scriptures (individually and as a group) to bear on these spiritual forces arrayed against you, you ARE going to have success in your pursuit of wholeness. The imagined kind of fear has spiritual roots. Fear and torment: Fear can be real or imagined. This applies also to any other issues you may be dealing with: bitterness, jealousy, unforgiveness, and a sense of abandonment or rejection. Until you deal with a spirit of fear yourself, it’s difficult to get complete freedom from fear and it will try to come back. Your relationship with Jesus will be on fire when you overcome the oppression, and you do not have to rely on another person to get you set free. Relying on Him and doing your part, resisting and fighting the good fight of faith James 4:7. He is your intercessor and the finisher of your faith. When you overcome, you will know that it was Jesus Who accomplished the victory for you. etc.” To prevent this, it is better for you to overcome oppression by relying on the Word of God and the Finished Work of Jesus for yourself. This happens because you will think, “the prayer did not work, I must be doing something wrong.

Only by His grace.The fear that comes from Depression and Anxiety can be overcome.Ģ Timothy 1:7 For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. Till He returns or calls me home–O, how I long to go home!! But until then, here in the power of Christ, I’ll stand.īut only by His grace. There is a war going on for the thoughts in my mind. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand–these sleepless nights are truly spiritual battles, I’ve come to see and acknowledge that. From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny–another hard concept, the idea that He has orchestrated the circumstances of my life for a reason, for a purpose, is sometimes very hard to swallow. This is the power of Christ in me–I struggle with the idea that Christ lives inside of me for me, this is a hard concept. No fear in death–I have no fear of death. Yet I know that my Jesus died for the sins that cause me this shame. No guilt in life–I feel much shame tonight. The last verse of In Christ Alone reads like this: What does this mean for me here in the middle of the night? When my fears are accentuated? When my strivings are vigorous? When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! What heights of love, what depths of peace,
Here is the first verse:įirm through the fiercest drought and storm. One of the songs in our song set for tomorrow’s worship service is one of my favorites: In Christ Alone. So here I lay in my bed, surrounded by my books and now my computer, knowing that in just a few brief hours I will need to be at church for worship rehearsal. Whether I’ve been awakened by nightmares or, like tonight, unable to settle my soul enough to sleep, insomnia has plagued me all week. Or, put another way, this has been a very sleepless week.
