Casting Down Evil Thoughts

Thoughts. They make up our entire mind. And if we meditate on a thought long enough, it becomes a part of our being.

What we think about all day long has a profound effect on our attitude and our ways. That is why we need to make a habit of thinking about good things, things that have the capacity to lift us up and keep us happy and positive.

Your thoughts can change the way you see people. You may say, "No way". Well, if you think bad thoughts about a person, then when you finally see that person face to face, you will have a bad attitude toward them. You may be short with them or avoid them altogether. Bad thoughts made your behavior mad.

But if you had good thoughts about that person, you will be happy to see them. You would make eye contact, smile, show them kindness and possibly take them out to lunch. Can you see how thoughts affect us?

The bible instructs us to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God; and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5. That is something that we have to do. If our thinking does not line up with the Word of God, we need to cast it down. Refuse to allow negative depressing thoughts rest or linger in your mind. Get rid of them. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.

Don’t let evil thoughts take over your life. Cast then down and live in the peace of God. (Memorize Galatians 5:22,23 and test your thoughts).
