Care in dealing with thoughts and ideas

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Many ideas and thoughts come to us.  Some are from the Spirit of God and are important.  Some are from wrong spirits and can do harm.  Some are from our own flesh and can interrupt the way of God.  Some thoughts are fearful and destructive and must be dealt with.  Regardless it is important for us to deal with thoughts and ideas in an appropriate way.

First, we are told:  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. I Jn. 4:1

Some people move on every idea that seems good to them without praying to God concerning that idea.  This is unsafe, even when the idea seems good.  Nothing is hidden from God.  As we commit that "good" idea to God in prayer we travel a more secure road.  Many plans seem good but end in destruction.

Then Paul warned us as follows:

II Cor. 10 ... For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Again, prayer is a very important key in dealing with thoughts.  God knows all.  Turn to God with such, asking HIM about the thought, asking HIM if there is anything you need to do, depending of God to establish and settle you in the issue.  This is the only safe way.

Talk with God!
