We Capture Every Thought!

S.E.E.D. For Today

Scripture: "For although we live in the natural realm, we don't wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide. We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bows in obedience to the Anointed One (God)". 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (TPT Bible)

Explanation: Paul is talking about strongholds, the aramaic word for strongholds can also be translated "rebellious castles". These strongholds take place in our minds, our thoughts, the center of our soul. They can also be referred to as, demonic strongholds or centers of opposition to the light of the gospel. Paul lets us know that our weapons are a divine power that can dismantle anything. Taking every thought and making it subject or captive to the word of God.

Exercise: Faulty patterns of thought will always defy the authority of God. It will scheme and manipulate you into standing in opposition of the will of God for your life. You have to make a decision to stand against it. You possess the power to demolish every misleading idea, opinion, notion, belief or reasoning. You have the power to break through every thought and fantasy that is trying to confine you from the truth of the Living God. I challenge you not to allow another thought or  feeling to imprison you. Capture it, make it a prisoner of war and insist that it bows in obedience to the most high God.

Devotion: I pray before the throne of God and court martial every thought, fantasy and imagination that comes to exalt itself above the word of God that is hidden in my heart. I thank You Lord for the weaponry and stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion in me against You. Help me to remain humble, free of arrogance, and stand in compliance to the true knowledge of God. I insist that my thoughts be on things that are honest, lovely, of a good report, anything that is excellent and praiseworthy, I pray to consistently think about these things in Jesus Name Amen!

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda...

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...
