Changing Your World

Our thoughts carry great power; this is why we must think about what we are thinking about. To maintain the victory Jesus won for us, we must therefore be mindful of who we are looking at.

The last thing the devil wants is for us to know that a spiritual battle is even being waged for control of our thoughts; he therefore uses every trick he can to deceive us into thinking there is no God, no devil, no heaven, and no hell. Keeping a close watch over our thought lives and letting the Word of God influence how we think keeps the enemy where he belongs—under our feet.

Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit; depending on Him is the key to experiencing success in life. Relying on the Spirit when we feel our old sinful natures trying to re-assert themselves is how we live godly lives.

Trying to meet the world’s expectations can leave us exhausted and overwhelmed. We can either wear ourselves out working hard to follow the world’s rules and jump through all of its hoops to achieve success, or we can rest in God’s grace and have success come to us.
