It just got even harder!

Here is another challenging verse!!!

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;


Casting down imaginations
This is talking about sensual desires.

and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God
This is talking about your idols... what you think about more than God.

and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ
everything that crosses your brainwaves should be tried against Gods standards... if it does not pass inspection toss it out...

what are God standards?
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Wow! And we thought this repentance thing would be easy!!! Remember:
Gods will is hard up front, but the blessings come down the road!
The devils will is easy up front, but it is hard down the road!
