Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2
When we are formulating our “thoughts” —hang on to God’s Word and promises and think about the mind of Christ. Thoughts can become a “battleground” for those without wisdom, and that wisdom comes from knowing the LORD.
Thoughts can be explosive and grow into a volcanic eruption, bringing about iniquities which can careen out of control, should we “allow it.”
Thoughts are just that“thoughts.” When we submit and acquiesce to the LORD and His ways, we are able to sustain and withstand any and all intrusive thoughts, which is to say, “we are protected.”
Our thoughts can make or break us. And that is exactly want the enemy seeks to do, break us. He is waiting to devour us, all of us who aren’t savvy in the word, or clothed in our Gospel armor.
Don’t let negative thoughts saturate your brain which invariably destroy all aspects pertaining to your health, but especially your spiritual health. Instead, push them out and douse them with the “consuming fires” of God’s word and presence.
Wear the helmet of salvation and gird yourself with the truth, hold up the sword and shod your feet with peace as you gird yourself against the evils of the world.
When you do all of this you will be in better shape, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, which is essential to our time here on earth. For if we are going to do God’s will, and serve Him fully, so too must our mind be “stayed upon Him” as we seek His Kingdom and face daily.
Do you have on your gospel armor today?
Protect your mind and all thoughts with the Helmet of Salvation, Amen!
“Father God, may I be ever mindful of Your presence, may I never start my day without my Gospel armor, and may I always be prepped to block negative thoughts and fiery darts, as I keep my mind on You, Your word, and Your promises, today and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. (Philippians 4:8)
