Eliminating impure thoughts 1. Launch a war you intend to win, like WWII
not Vietnam. Not to
just control or negotiation. We have cultivated many weed in the Garden of our thought live. In our imagination and daydreams. Satan tell you that it is hopeless and enjoyable and God will forgive. Someday maybe when life is easier less pressure.... We must put our will to the strain, to purpose to win. God will combine his power with our effort. Begin the weeding -repenting. Plant ground cover (i.e. meditate on God's word). We don't weed our thick ground cover. We cannot discern the character of God, or accept Christ by faith, unless we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. To all who do this the Holy Spirit is given without measure. 2. Our prayer should not be to take a our desires, for God gave
reproductive instincts. Our Prayer is to take away impure thoughts and desires.
Pray that God will cleanse our Imagination. 3. Make an agreement with our eyes. Look away from seductive pictures and
people. 4. Satan is Manipulating people or circumstances to ambush us. Be aware
lest we wonder near the tree of Knowledge of good and evil. 5. Remove from our environment that which contributed to our defeat.
worldly music, TV etc. 6. To win the war we must fight many battles. Someone may "spit in you brain", at work dirty stories are frequently told. We must communicate that they are not appreciated or it will continue and haunt you for the rest of the day or for a lifetime. 7. Live in the fear of the Lord. 8. Claim the victory |
