Freedom from Evil Thoughts

It is sobering to think and realize that every heinous crime, every act of abuse, every betrayal, and every spiral into addiction, and every failure into sin began with a thought. Some may argue that an action was merely reflex - no premeditation. But what determines our reflex responses and our off-the-cuff reactions? Honestly, the things we’ve put in our minds and the way we think on the daily shapes even our reflexes. A battle we must win is our thought life - specifically those thoughts that have been cultivated for years through poor choices.

Evil thoughts is all inclusive to everything in you that you’ve allowed in you…all the pollution, all the websites, all the social media, all the conversations, all the music, all the movies, all the relational experiences, all the sexual activity, all the images…all of it. All of that is on your mental hard drive.

For the last several weeks, we have talking about living a life of freedom. You are taking these steps and you desire freedom, but you’re doing so with a polluted hard drive that has been your operating system for years. It’s been that software in the background through which all of the other activities in your life operate. If you hard drive is contaminated with evil thoughts, that’s a big problem!
