CAPTIVE THOUGHTS

The best way to keep your thoughts on God is to invite Him to control them.
     Thought control has a negative connotation.None of us wants someone else to tell us what to think. During the Cold War,people talked about how the Communists were using propaganda and "thought control"to manipulate the citizery.Consequently,we'd like to think we can and should control our own thoughts.
     If we were to be completely open and honest,we would admit that we aren't very good at controlling our thoughts. If our thoughts were printed out for all to read,we would be pretty embarrassed. It's not as though we we're plotting to overthrow governments or wondering how to do nasty things to people. It's those little wanderings into the dark corners of our hearts and minds that are the constant problem. That's why we need to ask God to control our thought,which He will do through the Holy Spirit,who will teach us and remind us of everything God has told us (John 14:26)
     And we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
     2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 NIV
