CONTROL YOUR THOUGHT LIFE

WITH THE WORD OF GOD

 

 

Pastor Dawn Marie Berry

 

ROMANS 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 

1.     WHEN TEMPTATION COMES, AND IT WILL...

YOU HAVE POWER AND AUTHORITY TO SAY NO!

 

¨      I REBUKE THAT THOUGHT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

¨      NO, I’M CRUCIFIED TO THAT, IN JESUS’ NAME.

 

 2. YOU ARE RESISTING THE DEVIL.

 

JAMES 4:7-8 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

           

¨      SUBMIT TO GOD

¨      RESIST THE DEVIL

 

 3. WHEN WE ARE OBEDIENT TO GOD, WE ARE   SUBMITTING VOLUNTARILY TO HIM.

 

4. RESULT!  SATAN WILL FLEE

 

5. PETER SAYS TO RESIST THE DEVIL STEDFAST IN THE FAITH:

 

I PETER 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

 

6.         MASQUERADING AS A ROARING LION, LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL LET HIM HAVE PLACE IN OUR LIVES.

 

¨      EPHESIANS 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

¨      ROMANS 13:14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

 

II CORINTHIANS 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

 

7.         DON’T ALLOW DISOBEDIENT, IMMORAL, WRONG THOUGHTS, FEARFUL, DEFEATING, DOUBTING AND DISCOURAGING THOUGHT TO LINGER.

 

8.         [REPLACE] THOSE THOUGHTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.......MEMORIZATION.

 

9.     CONTROL YOUR THOUGHT LIFE.

 

            PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8 AMP: REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS, DELIGHT, GLADDEN YOURSELVES IN HIM; AGAIN I SAY, REJOICE. LET ALL MEN KNOW AND PERCEIVE AND RECOGNIZE YOUR UNSELFISHNESS, YOUR CONSIDERATENESS, YOUR FORBEARING SPIRIT.  THE LORD IS NEAR, HE IS COMING SOON.

            DO NOT FRET OR HAVE ANY ANXIETY ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AND IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND PETITION [DEFINITE REQUESTS] WITH THANKSGIVING CONTINUE TO MAKE YOUR WANTS KNOWN TO GOD.

            AND GOD’S PEACE [BE YOURS, THAT TRANQUIL STATE OF A SOUL ASSURED OF ITS SALVATION THROUGH CHRIST, AND SO FEARING NOTHING FROM GOD AND CONTENT WITH ITS EARTHLY LOT OF WHATEVER SORT THAT IS, THAT PEACE] WHICH TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING, SHALL GARRISON AND MOUNT GUARD OVER YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS IN CHRIST JESUS.

            FOR THE REST, BRETHREN, WHATEVER IS TRUE, WHATEVER IS WORTHY OF REVERENCE AND IS HONORABLE AND SEEMLY, WHATEVER IS JUST, WHATEVER IS PURE, WHATEVER IS LOVELY AND LOVABLE, WHATEVER IS KIND AND WINSOME AND GRACIOUS, IF THERE IS ANY VIRTUE AND EXCELLENCE, IF THERE IS ANYTHING WORTHY OF PRAISE, THINK ON AND WEIGH AND TAKE ACCOUNT OF THESE THINGS-FIX YOUR MINDS ON THEM.

 

10. LEARN TO THINK ON THE THINGS OF GOD, LIVE      CONTINUALLY IN THE BLESSINGS AND PRIVILEGES OF GOD...LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS WITH THE WORD OF GOD.             

 

God bless you, as you grow in His Word.
