Stewarding Your Thoughts

The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but if the Lord is with us, why has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonders that our ancestors told us about when they said, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up out of Egypt?’ But now the Lord has abandoned us and given us into the hand of Midian.” (Judges 6:11-13, NIV)

‘The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” ‘ (Judges 6:14-16, NIV)

The enemy knows that if he can disrupt your , then he can delay your .

“My grace is sufficient for you, for MY POWER IS MADE PERFECT IN WEAKNESS.” (2 Cor. 12:9, NIV)

I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive. (Judges 6:16, NIV)

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we TAKE CAPTIVE EVERY THOUGHT to make it OBEDIENT to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:5, NIV)

1 – the thought.

2 – the thought.

I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful… (Ps. 139:14, NIV)

The Lord is with you, MIGHTY WARRIOR. (Judges 6:12, NIV)

3 – the thought.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9, NIV)

The weapons we fight are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Cor. 10:4-5, NIV)
