How to Control Your Thoughts – Russian Edition (Russian) Paperback

Even with the existing abundance of information, it is still not easy to find a good practical book that helps one live a successful life that is based on grace and not on personal efforts. Jesus commanded his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the power, the power to become his witnesses. The same power helps us live a victorious life without compromising the teaching we follow and the name we bear.

Being attacked daily by an avalanche of stress, even committed Christians often fall into the trap of emotions and weariness, losing focus and then losing heart. This book will help you look into your inner world, often neglected, and create a filter that will allow you not only to detect but also to take captive any thought and mental speculation which goes against your convictions. It’s like protecting a sterile laboratory from any virus. And even if we allowed any poisoned thought to get into our holy of holies, our hearts, we can still quarantine and eliminate them. 

The Bible provides vast teaching on how to rid any fears, phobias and anxiety that robs us of the joy of the day that the Lord has made. We often try to fight our emotions, classifying them as negative. The emotions can be neither positive nor negative. Rather they are indicators of our inner situation and can be compared with the gadget of a car engine. The gadget is not the problem, but the pressure within is. In the same way emotions are only the indicators of our heart situation. In reality we do not have much control over our emotions, but we are able to control our thoughts and our mind processes that determine our emotions, feelings and reactions. It would be a pity to lose heart, when Jesus designed you for peace, even in trials. It would be foolish to fight our own emotions when we have another enemy to fight with. And it definitely would not be wise to live defensively when God called us to live a victorious and meaningful life.
