Casting Down Imaginations
  • Telos: We are in a warfare against the uncertainty of life’s challenges, and the effect they have on us.
    They either change us or we change them!!!
    Information
    Doubt births from uncertainty 
    The mind needs certainty- Limits and Liminal space.
    Law of the Lid
    Every limitation you have is because what you believe.  Authority releases Ability!
    Peter said I have fished all night, it isn’t working. Jesus said, let’s try my way.
    Why didn’t you make work what I was already doing?
    Sometimes God changes our circumstances, and sometimes He changes us before He changes our circumstances.
    Inspiration
    2 Corinthians 10:3–4 NKJV
    3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
    2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV
    5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
    Revelation
    Strongholds
    Arguments (reasoning and imagination)
    High Things (Rises up against to lift above in pride)
    Thoughts
    Application
    Before a stronghold is developed, a reasoning existed, and before that a high thing, and before that a thought.
    Our thoughts will source from 3 aspects:
    Past, Present, and Future
    Hebrews 13:8 NKJV
    8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
    Transformation
    If we address the thought, it will never become high thing
    Isaiah 55:9–11 MSG
    9 “For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. 10 Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and don’t go back until they’ve watered the earth, Doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, 11 So will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They’ll do the work I sent them to do, they’ll complete the assignment I gave them.
    Joshua 1:8 NKJV
    8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
    Philippians 4:8 TPT
    8 So keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always.
    Bring the thought to obedience of Christ!
    No one can steal your peace without your permission! -Peter Nielsen
