We must guard our hearts and not allow evil things to come into our spirits. Wrong things will produce evil fruit. Satan will try to enter through our eye and ear gates. When evil enters the heart, it bring evil suggestions to the mind and eventually tempt us to act upon those evil ideas. It is not a sin to have an evil thought; however, it is sin to dwell upon that thought and consider it.
The Lord wants to bless all His children. I must resist evil thoughts and keep my mind on the things of God in order to walk in victory.
Dear father, please guide me.
I am grateful for all the times Your hand of protection has been over me and my family. Thank you for watching over us. Lord, help me to keep my thoughts on good things and take those things out of my heart that are not like You. Forgive me when I dwell on wrong thoughts and I fail to resist the devil immediately. I do want a clean heart and a pure mind. Help me to resist the evil that is in this world. Lord, take the rebellion from the hearts of those young people who have perverted thinking. Protect our children in the schools and on the streets. Have mercy on all of us, and give us Your grace to be good examples to anyone around us. In the name of Jesus, I ask. Amen.
[ Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. ] James 4:6-7
