Take Control

^7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: ~ Proverbs 23:7a

Believing in God isn’t enough to save your soul. Even demonic entities believe in God, but it doesn’t save them. There is more. Much more. You must change your inside. You must clean the inside of the dish, not just the out.

• • The way you talk
  • The way you act
  • Even the way you think
  • The things you imagine or fantasize about

These things have to change. You can’t continue in the same old way that God found you. You come as you are, but you can’t leave as you came. Change is necessary.

As the Chinese philosopher said:

Watch your thoughts, they become your words
Watch your words, they become your action
Watch your actions, they become your habits
Watch your habits, they become your character
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny

Lao Tzu

So, how do you do that? As Paul said, we take every thought and word captive to the obedience of Christ. In other words, you change your thoughts. Only you can control what you think about. Only you can control the words that come out of your mouth. Only you can decide to make a change. So, I beseech you all to train your thoughts and then your words to the obedience of Christ. Because from your thoughts and words comes who you are. So, make a conscious effort to control your thoughts and your words, thus controlling your actions and destiny.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Take Control.
