Take heed of what you allow your mind to think. Take heed of what you allow your mind to think about others. Don’t allow your mind to strive with others. Don’t allow your mind to lower other people. Don’t allow your mind to reject God’s word.
Bring every thought under subjection. You can do it, even if you are flooded with thoughts. Ask the Holy Spirit for help and tackle one at a time. Before you know it, the thoughts will be less intrusive, and they will be tailored to what is acceptable.
Now, this does not mean that you will not hear thoughts that are not yours. But you can control the thoughts you meditate on and thoughts that you will accept.
Be active in your mind to take captive every thought. 2 Corinthians 5 “We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
