They are stupid. Now that I got your attention...

2 Corinthians 10:5 says 5We 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.

I'm absolutely crazy about this verse & it has been rocking my world! There are two main things I take from it.

1) I need to know what God's word says! 

-So when the enemy is trying to attack me with lies of who I am, pain from past relationships, sins that have been forgiven, & every other piece of garbage he throws at me as a believer, I can speak scriptures over my life that don't line up with what God says! Satan runs from the word of God! Look at Jesus when he was tempted by satan himself, he always responded with scripture.

-Meditate on scripture

-Ask God to reveal something new to you before you read.

-Memorize it, I always remember growing up in a Christian home & my parents always stressing the importance of memorizing scripture. I used to think it was annoying, now I thank God they made me spend time everyday.

2) Just like it says, every thought needs to line up with the word!

-This is huge for my life! I believe when we focus our thoughts on God we have incredible victory over the sin in our life!

-Pray for God to take your thoughts.

-Beg God to open up Heaven on your life & that you would walk, talk, & act out of the Spirit.

Stay Classy, Love you all! Kill your sin.

Do You Need Heart Surgery?

Psalm 51:10-12  10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. 11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

This has been my prayer the past few days for my life & the lives of those around me. That I would walk in purity as a man of God, that I would always walk/act out of the spirit & not the flesh, that God would continue to unleash his spirit on my life in an incredibe way, & that he would be my joy. These verses freakin pump me up! When I read these verse I feel like I could do 5 triathlons & wrestle a bear(and win of course) all in one day! It's so important as men & woman of God to walk in purity & not be involved in sexual sin. In 1 Corinthians 6:18 Paul tells us to flee from sexual sin, I know this is a HUGE issue for most people(grade school, junior high, high school, college, EVERYONE) I heard a pastor say that 99% of men have struggled with sexual sin at one point in their life, the other 1% struggle with lying! I will rip you apart inside, it will haunt you. Is one night of sex(out of marriage) worth a lifetime of pain & hurt? No, absolutely not! There is hope to be free from these struggles, that freedom is in Jesus. (Romans 8:2) It's interesting that it says in verse 18 "all other sins man commits are outside his body" I think it's important to notice that it's a heart issue here. In Psalm 51 at the end of that chapter David begins to say "You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings." He is saying this because it's not about sacrificing a goat or bull its about the heart. God wants your heart more than anything else! Give it to him & let him do heart surgery on you! Get accountability, beg God to change your heart. That's my prayer for you! Love you all! Be Blessed!
