3rd Sunday of Lent 

We destroy every proud argument and every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Satan has declared war on God’s children, and our minds are the battlefield in which the war is won or lost.

Satan loves to put wrong thoughts into our minds. Thoughts that are not in agreement with the word of God.

Hoping we will meditate on them long enough for them to become reality in our lives.

We can cast out those wrong thoughts and bring every thought captive into the obedience of Jesus Christ.

Be thankful that you can choose your own thoughts and that you are not a prisoner to whatever kinds of thoughts just fall into your mind.

Think good things that agree with the word of God on purpose. Think about the love God has for you and the good plan He has for your life.

Think about how you can be a blessing to other people.

Thinking right thoughts will close the door to wrong ones, and in the process, it also closes the door to the devil.

Prayer of thanks

I thank you, heavenly father.

That I am your child and I am greatly blessed.

Today, I choose to think God honoring thoughts, focusing on your goodness in my life.

I am grateful that I can choose what thoughts I am going to dwell on.
