About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"CASTING DOWN EVIL IMAGINATIONS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
IF YOU PUT FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH AND IT IS BAD AND DOESN'T TASTE GOOD, WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU WOULD PROBABLY SPIT IT OUT AND NOT SWALLOW IT....RIGHT? I KNOW I WOULD. THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO WHEN SATAN PUTS AN EVIL THOUGHT IN OUR MINDS. WE NEED TO GET RID OF IT JUST LIKE WE DID THE FOOD. SATAN WILL TEMPT US IN MANY WAYS AND WILL DO IT SO SNEAKY THAT IT WILL CATCH US OFF GUARD. FOR INSTANCE, HAVE YOU EVER GOT AN EMAIL FROM SOMEONE YOU KNEW AND WHEN YOU OPENED IT THERE WERE PORNOGRAPHIC PICTURES IN IT? I HAVE AND I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. IF WE ARE NOT CAREFUL, OUR MINDS, ESPECIALLY MEN, WILL START THINKING ON THOSE PICTURES AND SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN INTO LUST AND IF IT DOES THEN IT IS SIN AND SATAN HAS WON.
YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET RID OF EVIL THOUGHTS BUT IT ISN'T. WE ARE TO CAST DOWN ALL EVIL IMAGINATIONS LIKE IT SAYS IN 2ND CORINTHIANS 10:5 "Casting 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."
THE BEST WAY I HAVE FOUND TO TAKE MY MIND OFF SOME EVIL THOUGHT THAT SATAN HAS BROUGHT IN FRONT OF ME IS TO HAVE A SCRIPTURE READY TO QUOTE. IT IS HARD TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING EVIL WHEN YOU ARE QUOTING GOD'S WORD. SIN STARTS IN THE MIND AND THAT IS WHERE THESE IMAGINATIONS AND EVIL THOUGHTS START. IF YOU ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING EVIL, YOU WON'T BE TEMPTED. IF YOU HAVE A LUSTFUL THOUGHT AND YOU KEEP THINKING ABOUT IT AND LET IT FORM IN YOUR MIND, YOU HAVE SINNED. THAT IS WHAT IT SAYS IN JAMES 1:15 AND I QUOTE "Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death."
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS. WE NEED TO DO WHAT IT SAYS IN PROVERBS 4:20-22 "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." THIS WILL KEEP US FROM THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING EVIL. THIS ONE WOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO MEMORIZE AND SAY WHEN SATAN STRIKES.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
