“Obsession; when thoughts are held captive and no longer your own.”

“With the weapons that God has made available to you, he expects you to capture and hold captive every thought and idea that comes into your mind, and to examine these against the backdrop of the Word of God. Those thoughts that are in line with God’s will and purpose for your life are to be released and allowed to move freely within your mind. However, those thoughts and ideas that are contrary to the Word of God are to be held perpetually captive and cast out of your mind in the name of Jesus!”

“It was ironic; he held her captive, yet she’d captivated him.”

“Learn to forgive others so that you can release yourself from being held captive by the very negative thoughts around you.”

“...thoughts aren't the problem. Problems only develop when thoughts no longer arise from or refer to actual experience. That's when thoughts start ossifying into their own bureaucratic institutions, becoming assumptions and dogma.”

“What do you do when you're no longer the hero of your own story?”
