It was an eye opener to the many thoughts I allow to run through my head throughout the day.
Thoughts contrary to what the Word of God states about me and God's love for me.
It is so important to know God's Word in order to be able to recognize the counterfeit thoughts Satan or others can put in your head. The only way to do this is to read God's Word yourself. Be involved in a Bible teaching church and Bible Study. Surround yourself with Christian friends that are like minded and strong in the teachings of God's Word.
I have heard that new bank employees are taught how to recognize counterfeit bills by studying and handling the "real". When you KNOW what is real, it is easy to recognize the FAKE.
2 Timothy 2:15
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
New King James Version (NKJV)
Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
