If you need victory in your thought life- You must depend on the Spirit’s power to control your thoughts! Here is what the Scriptures have to say on that point:

“The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God (the indwelling Holy Spirit) … bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor 10:4, 5).

Only the Spirit of God can make this possible in our lives! And He does it only when we are under His complete control. When an evil thought comes to your mind
– What are you to do? You should turn it over to the Spirit and ask Him to take charge!

It is the only method that works for me! I cannot help it when a thought comes, whether it is good or bad. I do not, however, have to dwell on that thought.

So the moment a wrong thought comes, I ask the Holy Spirit to take over, for that is His responsibility. When I give Him control, He gives me victory! In I Thessalonians 5:17, we are told to pray without ceasing. Can we possibly do that?

Only by letting the Holy Spirit control us. As He dwells in us and we continue to give Him control so that no sin hinders His working in our hearts, He reminds us of the things He wants us to pray about. And He also helps us in the praying.

“Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” (Romans 8:26). So –
“…be renewed in the spirit of your mind” (Eph. 4:23).

Mind your mind!
