God’s strength in recognizing negative thoughts

14 November 2011 
The road to sin begins in thought life. Our negative thoughts tend to travel faster than we think of. Stop before it captures you.Thoughts have wings, can go anywhere, even to the prohibited area.So be watchful.


The following verses states that the origin of sin, how it overpowers a person's heart and subsequently the thinking pattern developed.


All sorts of evils are conceived in the innermost part of the heart and mind.It takes deep root and grows steadily. At the end it destroys the soul. But nothing can be hidden from God's sight.
  • “For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. Mark 7:21-22.
  • “Each one is tempted , by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1:14-15.
  • What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? James 4:1.
Seek God’s help to resist the devil and his evil tactics through the negative thoughts. 
Ask the Lord to help you learn to recognize the negative thoughts immediately so that you can resist them. Recognize the good from bad.That skill and insight you need.World  at large, is given in the hands of satan and his followers.
But God has given his WISDOM TO KNOW WHAT IS GOOD OR BAD.
  • test them all; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:21  
  • “By their fruit you will recognize them. Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.  A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit….. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them Matthew 7:16-20
  • Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:12,13
  • “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 
  • "Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12
