I find myself swarmed with impulsive, negative thoughts when left to my devices. I joined this website with the intention to fill my mind with prayer and concern for others so that there is less room for my mind to be selfish and mean.

Thank you for having me.

Welcome. Do you know that evil spirits have access to your mind? Very often, the thoughts we have are not our thoughts. They are planted by evil spirits. (2 Corinthians 10:5)

If you have a thought that you did not choose to have, then it is not you. You should regard those thoughts as intruders and command them to leave you. You should do that until your mind becomes free. It may take some time. We are in a spiritual battle and the fight is mostly in the mind.

You also on the right track to engage your mind in good things. No one can have two thoughts at the same time. if you are thinking good things, then you cannot think the wrong thing.

I hope this helps.

I appreciate this guidance. I’ll try to take hold of them and rebuke them properly when I have one next time.

God bless you.

Excellent! Are you spending time in His word? You know, I received Christ in my heart not long after my being able to read and accept John 14:6. That's all I had to go on for the next ten years which was full of unnecessary heartache. How unwilling some of my own Christian family members went through the years without sharing with me some simple truths such as:

As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, (1Peter 2:2)

Or,

And that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith
which is in Christ Jesus. (2Timothy 3:15)

Getting into His word is critical to a victorious life in Christ. There are passages in His word that covers every level of maturity in our walk with Him. Finding and getting into a bible-believing Church is also important. God bless you for coming to ChristianChat, Welcome!

Hi Hini so glad the Lord led you to CC, welcome! Lots of heartfelt advice here and I would add to listen to preachers, Christian TV and even the One Year Bible Reading on YT. Start filling you mind with God's word and you'll find the negative will fade away. God bless you and your endeavors🙏🙌

Ephesians 6:12
New International Version
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
