Sr. Pastor A. A. Jackson shared this devotional message live on 8/4/24.  It is based mainly on Romans 8:31, 35-39. To experience true faith that pleases God we need the mind of Christ.  Have you ever noticed that once a thought gathers momentum in your mind, it’s hard to stop it?  If the thought is intense and is allowed to progress long enough, it can snowball, affecting areas of your life that have little to do with the thought on which you’re dwelling.  This is how some phobias and compulsive behaviors begin and completely overtake a person’s life.  If you don’t take your own thoughts captive, they will eventually captivate you.
