At What Point?

"Don't let anyone lead you astray with empty philosophy and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the evil powers of this world, and not from Christ. For in Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body, and you are complete through your union with Christ. He is the Lord over every ruler and authority in the universe." Colossians 2:8-10

At what point did we start allowing the world to control our thoughts rather than God's Word?

We have to bring Christ and His Word back to the forefront of our minds and control us. Otherwise we will be led astray by the lies of Satan.

Jesus this is so much easier said than done. Please take control of our every thought and hold it captive, examining it with Your Word. If any thought is found to be opposite of what Your Word says, give us the strength, discipline, and self-control to remove it.  So many times we don't even think before we act and in return we express ugliness through our speech and attitude. Father give us the ability to push our feelings and emotions aside and allow the truth of Your Word and the power of the Holy Spirit to take over and be in control. Remove us from the thrones we have placed ourselves on. Amen
