HOW TO TAKE THOUGHTS CAPTIVE

Leon FontaineDevoted

Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV) Do you ever feel condemned? Inadequate? Unworthy? Do you struggle with negative thoughts? Many people try to overcome negative thinking by saying things like, “I’m going to stop being so hard on myself,” or “I’m not going to focus on my failures.” The problem is that these statements are in the negative. The more you repeat them, the more you actually focus on what you don’t want to do. Instead, you need to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. But how? Well, what does the “obedience of Christ” mean? Christ was obedient to the point of death. When He died, He took your punishment, guilt and shame. …

LA PROMESA ES SUYA HOY

Leon FontaineEntregate

Reciban abundancia de gracia y de paz mediante el conocimiento que tienen de Dios y de Jesús, nuestro Señor. Dios, por su poder, nos ha concedido todo lo que necesitamos para la vida y la devoción, al hacernos conocer a aquel que nos llamó por su propia grandeza y sus obras maravillosas. 2 Pedro 1:2-3 (DHH) Todos tenemos creencias erróneas que no se alinean con la Palabra de Dios y necesitamos trabajar diariamente para reemplazarlas con la verdad. Si queremos que las creencias de nuestro corazón se alineen con lo que Dios dice que somos y con lo que dice que podemos tener, necesitamos convencernos continuamente de lo que realmente somos: ¡hijos de Dios! También necesitamos declarar Sus promesas en voz alta, alegando que son …

STOP NEGATIVE DAYDREAMS

Leon FontaineDevoted

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God. 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) You have imaginations running through your head—little movies you play out throughout your day—and many times they are not based on truth. If you’re dealing with a serious illness, you might go so far as to imagine your funeral. Your eyes may tear up as you picture your loved ones’ reactions or as you think about who will look after them when you’re gone. These little snippets reveal what you believe about your future. If you allow your mind to daydream about a vision that goes against what God has promised you, you’re developing a stronghold within your mind. These strongholds can become so ingrained deep …

SU CORAZÓN: EL CENTRO DE CONTROL DE SU VIDA

Leon FontaineEntregate

Cuida tu mente más que nada en el mundo, porque ella es fuente de vida. Proverbios 4:23 (DHH) El versículo de hoy nos advierte que cuidemos nuestros corazones. Se trata de la parte de nosotros que alberga nuestras creencias más profundas, ya que actúa como el centro de control de nuestras vidas. Para demostrar lo que quiero decir, imaginemos que usted acaba de escuchar un informe en las noticias sobre un número de circunstancias que afectarán negativamente a su negocio. Lo primero que puede venirle a su mente es, “Oh genial, las ganancias van a bajar”. Si usted acepta esa creencia en su corazón y se enoja por ello, entonces ya no solo se trata de un informe de noticias. Una vez que su corazón …

DEFLECT THE LIES

Leon FontaineDevoted

In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Ephesians 6:16 (NLT) You’re probably pretty certain about the colour of your eyes. Someone would have a hard time convincing you that your eyes are blue if you know they’re brown. But if they try to convince you of something you’re unsure about, it’s a different story. If the thought, I’m a failure, pops up and you aren’t confident that you’re an overcomer through Christ, you just might accept that lie. And if you keep thinking about it, it will begin to affect how you act. This is how the enemy works. He pops little thoughts into your mind, but these lies can’t take root …
