Brief summary; The things we think on make us who we are. We can think on all bad things and we become depressed or someone that is ready to explode as soon as the right person comes in line with our evil thoughts. Evil thoughts that mature enough to be spoken become like air in a balloon, one breath of an evil thought may not rupture the balloon, but as they are allowed to happen again and again, they will reach a level of bursting and then all hell breaks loose.

Because we can choose our thought life, God leaves it up to us to cast down vain imagination, and any thought that exalts it self above God. When we resist thoughts such as, ‘something bad is going to happen because things are going to good.’ When our thoughts have us thinking on something bad happening, or fretting that every time the phone rings that it is bad news. It is these thoughts that need to be brought under control. Bad thoughts are not from God. When your every thought is how you can get revenge on someone and during the day all you ponder is how you can make someone do your will, by forcing them, then you and the devil have a lot in common.

God does not deceive anyone into doing His will. He is who He says He is, and His Son did what the Bible says He did, and the rest is left up to each individual as to whether they will choose Him or not.

The things we think on are what we will speak. God does not allow the devil to come in and destroy us, but the things we choose to think on can give the devil a place if we allow it.

All good thoughts will not allow place for the bad. So think on all things good. You can, God’s Word says you can.

Think on all good things. Do not ponder what you can do to force God’s will, because He does not want people to be around Him because they have no other choice. Think on good things that give God glory. It is these things that will have people wanting to come to Him because He is Almighty. Not because He wants to harm them if they don’t, that is the devil.

Think about it?
