Battlefield in YOUR MIND
"Show me a person's habits, and I will tell you his destiny." John (Kenny) Adams

Where we place our attention is where we will end up.

Temptation always begins with a thought. Every time you try to block a thought you drive it deeper into your memory. Don't block the thought, just turn your attention to something else.

Temptation begins by capturing your attention on a particular person or object. It intensifies as we dwell on the thought.

Rick Warren has taught us "Temptation begins by capturing your attention. What gets your attention arouses your emotions. Then your emotions activate your behaviour, and you act on what you felt."

When feeling tempted, change your thoughts on to something else. Remove yourself from the situation. Overcome evil with good.

Fighting Temptations & Winning!!!

Many of our troubles occur because we base our choices on unreliable authorties:
culture ("everyone is doing it")
tradition ("we've always done it")
reason ("it seemed logical")
or emotion ("it just felt right") Rick Warren

We need a perfect standard that will never lead us in the wrong direction.

'Run from anything that gives you the evil thoughts...but stay close to anything that makes you want to do right.' 2Timothy 2:22 (LB)

Manage YOUR Media Intake

"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." Solomon

Be careful what you watch on TV, DVD, Videos, Internet, and what you listen to.

Turn it off if it is not pure, true, noble, right, and honourable.

Feed your mind with good programming, to get good results.
