“Capturing Every Thought”
by Dona Hake
“We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ…”
2 Corinthians 10:5 (Amplified Version)
2 Corinthians 10:5 (Amplified Version)
“…and every ·proud thing [pretension; exalted opinion; L high thing] that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We capture every thought and make it obey Christ.”
2 Corinthians 10:5 – EXB Version
2 Corinthians 10:5 – EXB Version
We must hold fast to truth at all times, and at all costs! Our lives must exhibit that we are a people that will live uncompromisingly, and we stand strong and anchored in the midst of the strong currents of the evil of this world.
May we unashamedly hold fast to firm convictions, and judge and measure all things in our lives by the mighty, unmovable and unchanging Word of our Lord. When we rejoice in truth, and stand upon it firmly our hearts will be totally free. We will be wise and we will be bold in our faith. We will continue to grow in discernment because we have put truth above our opinions, our desires, our feelings, and emotions. See any untrue , poisonous thought and wrong emotion as an enemy to your soul, and take them as prisoners and subdue them into obedience of the Anointed One!
