15 | Take Every Thought Captive — How I Went From Survival Mode to God’s Peace

One of the most exciting things I've learned in recent years is that we are not stuck with the brain or thoughts that we currently have.

Actually I just heard a neurosurgeon, Dr. Lee Warren say 80% of our thoughts every day aren't even true. Wow. 

There is true relief in challenging your thoughts and God has given us the agency to evaluate our thoughts about what's actually true and to rewire our brain with new thoughts — and I love that this idea of neuroplasticity is what the Bible has said is true all along.

You can choose to renew your mind by being in God's word and by choosing to take every thought captive. 

This has been SO empowering, and my life is so different now because of it.

I'm still on this journey, but I'm in awe of what God has already done through my obedience (not perfection) to surrender to Him (every lie and fear) as I continually practice taking them captive in Jesus name. 

And I know this isn't easy but it isn't easy to stay stuck either. I'd rather choose the path that will get me somewhere good. And that's walking in more freedom in Christ. 

I know what it's like to battle with intrusive thought OCD, and definitely negative thoughts and beliefs that have held me back for years.

But now, I'm realizing how much freedom there is in this journey of surrendering it all to God — and once you do, fear begins to lose it's grip and you begin to experience hope and healing as you keep showing up, even when its hard.

God is and always will be faithful to see you through it when you seek Him. 

Love you friend,

Hannah
