![]() ![]() Nor am I promoting the power of positive thinking to pretend a bad situation doesn’t exist. This means being intentional in shaping our thought life with truth.ĭon’t get me wrong… I’m not suggesting we engage in magical thinking. The best way to win the battle of the mind before it ever begins is by practicing the kind of thinking outlined in Philippians 4:8. I think we can all agree it’s much harder to take those thoughts captive and engage in the battle of the mind once those problematic thoughts gain momentum. 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. When our thoughts aren’t so lovely or true, we are told to take them captive. ![]() Scripture gives us quite a few ideas of how to practice thinking thoughts that are lovely…įinally, 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. It is also a battle that every single person faces, every single day. The battle of the mind is a hard fought battle. ![]()
