19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame-- who set their mind on earthly things.
20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
21 who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

xxx Thoughts are in our minds but where do they come from. They come from spirits. From our birth we have had the enfluence of our guardian angel and the devil. One says do it the other says not to do it. We have always had to choose which thought to go with. But we havent always chose the right one. So God said He would give us a Helper the Holy Spirit(verses) that would discern our thoughts and give us a verse showing us who is who between them.

Rom 8:27
27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
(NKJ)
Mark 7:20-23
20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.
21 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 "thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.
23 "All these evil things come from within and defile a man."

Have you ever had thoughts that you wish you didn't have? Have you ever had thoughts that you submitted to and later you regretted it? Where do you think these come from? How could they come from you if you didn't want them in the first place?

Every time you make a decision you are pleasing a spirit in you. That is why we are told to compare every thought with the new testament.

2 Cor 10:4-5
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 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,

Don't forget spirits can get in us, and leave us. Just like Gods Spirit was in Jesus for awhile and then God left Jesus.


Matt 27:46
46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

I Jn 4:1-2
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

All Christians have to deal with evil thoughts. It is an inheritance of the fall.

"...every inclination of the human heart is evil from childhood" (Gen. 8:21).

Christians are not to judge others. We are to resist evil. We are to be a good example of Christianity in a secular world.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Matthew 7:1).

I said
We are to judge ourselves so we can find the evil to resist. And we are to listen to the Holy Spirit judge ourselves within ourselves.

Luke 6:37
37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

Satan is the prince of the air. Like the air so are the thoughts that come into our minds. We are not to foster the thoughts and put them into our hearts. We are to think of what is lovely and true.

I am glad that you do not know for sure whether I am a man or a woman. I am glad about that because you think you are so mighty and can tell me I am not saved, but at the same time you do not even know if I am a man or a woman.

I said
Has everyone gone bonkers. I have never told anyone they was not saved. If your alive your saved. You wont tell whether your a man or a woman because your ashamed of it. That's obvious.
