Repent Of Sinful Thoughts

I know we are sinful in nature, but it is so embarrassing to repent a sinful thought when you know you will do it again. The accountability is overwhelming and causes a distant relationship with God....Sad!

There is an old proverb : " It is ok if a bird flies above your head but do not allow it to make a nest in your hair ". The battlefield is our own own body and mind. Thoughts could assail us but put on the whole armour of God and fight. Remember Jesus , was like us , in all points tempted like us but he won with the grace of the father and with the sword of the Word. We are all warriors for Christ and the battle filed is our own flesh and mind - let us fight this battle and die honorably in this battle bearing the Flag of our savoir and messiah - Jesus.

Without reformation-intent to make a striking change for the better concerning ones attitude or actions, trusting the empowerment of the Father to do so-there has been no true repentance-recognition of error as reveal by truth, which in and of itself, produces within us a godly sorrow leading to an empowered change of mind and/or attitude. As far as thoughts are concerned we are instructed to cast down any thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God we have been blessed to embrace.

I realize that the verse actually reads "high thing" however that high thing is always the results of a thought or way of thinking that exalts it in our mind. Submitting to Christ within, will bring every contrary thought or way of thinking under subjection to the obedience of Christ, the power to cast it down. Let every man that thinks he stands in his own strength, take heed lest he falls. We are only alienated from the Father in our own minds.

Another way to keep these thoughts out of your mind is to watch things on television that are not of Satan. If you constantly watch shows about killing, sex, witchcraft, etc., that is what is going in your mind.

 

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,...

"Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ,"

Bringing every evil thought into captivity. Entertaining lustful, angry or sinful thoughts can lead to following through.

Thoughts become actions or strongholds that influence your heart.

God, will not hold you responsible for the rotten thoughts that Satan puts in your mind as long as you do not dwell on them or act on them. If you do these things depression can set in and also sadness because you are in sin. Learn to push them out just as quickly as the devil can give them to you. You will be okey with God, If you are truly Born-again. At first it may seem like a full-time job. Ask God to help you. He will. Also, ask God for forgiveness just in case.

Everyone has thoughts they shouldn't have. If they say they don't, they are not human by no means. The bible says we are to renew our minds daily. Meaning put more word in our hearts and mind, so when a thought comes to mind, that we shouldn't have we have the word to rebuke those thoughts. Our mind will play tricks on us, and if one isn't careful they will do what the mind says to do or say instead of rebuking it. 

Another way to avoid these "sinful thoughts" is to get the Word of God in your mind. Read the Bible and pray constantly!

You know Satan comes to steal,kill, and destroy. What you do is resist the Devil and he will flee from you. You do that by saying to the thought "Spirit of lust(whatever it is) I command you in the name of Jesus to leave,and go to realm of darkness,and be bound there." God I don't receive this but please forgive me. Do it every time it happens and you are prayed up,forgiven ,protected and ready to have fellowship with God. Then Praise God,He inhabits the praise of His people.

Jesus says, WE Christians have power OVER the Principalities of Darkness & Have POWER over Satan with HIS Name.
PUT ON YOUR ARMOR!
Embarrassed?
Shame, is coming for those who are like ships without rudders.
LEARN to Bridle your thoughts & your Tongues,
Love God w/All your H.M.S, Love your Neighbour, LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS "THE LORD" HAS LOVED US.

I Believe this is what my Brother would say to you...
