Self-control and Taking Every Thought Captive
Self-control and Taking Every Thought Captive
 
Following Jesus Christ is about self-control, taking every single thought captive and taking the reigns of our own tongue.  We have to think about what we say BEFORE we say it, and then we have to make sure that what we are saying is not for pride, to make ourselves just look good, or that it will be hurtful for other people.  Some people say things that are racist, that are sexist, they say things that are just vulgar, things that people will not appreciate.  The other day someone said something that was inappropriate, and later he realized that and he went around and he apologized to me and to the other people that he had offended, he did the right thing, and he felt remorse for that.  He was asking me, or basically just saying how sometimes he says things without thinking, and I told him it is good to have self-control… each of us have to grow in our faith, we have to grow in self-control, self-discipline, and we have to be thinking before we say something, is it going to be beneficial for the kingdom of God, is this going to encourage others, build them up?  Is it going to help them grow in the Kingdom of God?  Or is it tearing them down?  As for me, I want to encourage you and anyone that I come around to follow Jesus with all their heart and to take control of your thoughts, because what you think about will also spill out in your words and in your actions.  What are we putting into our mind and into our heart?  Is it purity, is it righteousness, is it the words of Jesus?  And when we speak will it be the overflowing of the things that are already in our mind and in our hear?  And do we have self-control over the things that we cannot control that we hear, what people say around us, and are we able to suppress the things that are evil, take those thoughts captive and rebuke the evil thoughts, while receiving the thoughts that we know are from the Holy Spirit.  We have to be able to have this self-control to follow Jesus, otherwise we do not have that fruit of the Spirit in our life.  And a lot of people are not letting the Holy Spirit work in their life, they are like animals, they just say whatever they think.  But we are not animals, we are the children of God with self-discipline and self-control.  May the grace of Jesus be with you.
