Capturing thinking!
Soul Snack S11/10 ... Halos and Nooses!
Invisibly suspended, encircling above the head of the worthy is a round glow, a symbol of mercy and goodness.
Contrast the visibly suspended knotted rope encircling the neck of the unworthy, a symbol of judgement and evil.
The default position of my mind may equally be a halo or noose to me and my relationships. My mind can be covered in goodness or choked by evil.
I set the agenda for my life by the agenda my mind adopts. My mind is my chairman, conducting, guiding and concluding all my board meetings. I then put in place the directions of my chairman.
When my mind seeks to lead me astray, to strangle my relationships, refuse this suffocation.
Satan will tell me to believe ill of another, when they do not even believe ill of me.
'... we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.' 2 Cor 10:5b
Only with obedience to Jesus can a noose become a halo. He can take the suffocating noose from my neck, lift it up and invisibly suspend His goodness over me.
Above my head a noose becomes a halo. It can no longer harm me, it will not even be seen or felt by me any longer.
Father, turn my nooses into halos I pray, lift them off me. Reveal to me the truth of that which still binds, and free me please. AMEN
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32
