The darkest moment in all of Star Wars is the infamous command to “Execute Order 66”, as the previously loyal clone troopers suddenly and violently betrayed their Jedi companions… culminating with that fateful march on the Jedi Temple. What we didn’t know at the time is that the clones had been “programmed” to react in this manner… a chip had been placed in their heads that compelled them to perform these previously unthinkable actions. The only solution? That chip overriding their thoughts had to be disabled by surgical intervention… they couldn’t overpower it by sheer will alone.

Every one of us has an “Order 66” chip in our heads… a “sin nature” we are born with that is capable of overpowering our good intentions and compelling us into shameful actions. No matter how hard we try on our own, we can’t simply “exert enough willpower” to override our inherently selfish programming… we need the surgical precision of the Great Physician to remove these dark impulses and replace them with His Spirit. Let’s fully surrender every thought to Him today… Christ came to break our chains, not teach us how to live with them.

Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:5

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:1-2
