Overcoming My Imagination
Reading: 1 John 4:4
“Focus your mind on God.”
Prayer
Father, help me to
overcome the powers of my imagination, because sometimes they can be a source
of trouble to me. Do not let me entertain any ideas that are not pleasing to
God. Help me to think clearly and exercise self-control. I shall fix my
thoughts on what is true, honourable, and right. I will think about things that
are excellent and are worthy of praise. I will keep putting into practice all I
learn from You and hear You and have seen You doing. Let the God of Peace be
with me. I look forward to the special blessings, which will come to me at the
return of Jesus Christ my Saviour. The work You began within me will see me
through always and forever more. I come to Him through the supernatural power
of His Spirit, with praise, worship, and thanksgiving for all You do within me.
Amen.
Lessons
To Be Learnt
The enemy does all he
can to cause us trouble. Before we become Christians, he had a hold on our
minds, which caused our minds to be all over the place. But since becoming
Christians, making our peace with God through the Holy Spirit of God and prayer
has helped to bring our minds in focus on God. We begin to realize the enemy
has no right to our minds and tries to get hold of our mind-set to cause our
imaginations to become a minefield. Having the Holy Spirit giving us His
discernment, we are able to recognize the evil forces at work, and we turn
straight to God in the name of Jesus and ask the Lord for help. He is the only
One who helps us to overcome the enemy. He has already conquered evil on the
Cross. We must ask Jesus to help us think clearly and exercise self-control and
not entertain any ideas, which are not pleasing to God. You have to come to the
special place with God to realize nothing can touch you without the Lord’s
permission.
