5 biblical scriptures on evil imaginations

• Genesis 6:5 says....

  “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually”.


       When the heart of mine is dark and corrupt, it defiles the soul and body. The soul is the seat of emotions and feelings; man from the garden of Eden has become corrupt with his ways since he disobeyed the law of God (Ps 26:2). The psalmist cried out to God to examine him, to prove and try his heart.


If one is not examined with the word of God, one's heart can play a trick on someone because the unsatisfied heart is full of earthly things. Even those that call themselves God's children may be deceived by believing his imagination if one does not have discerning spirit to detect his thoughts life.

   
    One may also be deceived by believing his thoughts to be inspiration from God.... that is why many have been fooled by their own evil thoughts and have acted upon it without consulting the Spirit of God for confirmation.

Many have also misled others through evil imaginations all in the name of prophecy. False prophets prophesy out of their evil imaginations to deceive and ensnare the victims.

• Job 15:15-16 says...

          “Behold He put no trust in His saints, yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight how much more abominable and filthy is man which drink iniquity like water?”


God did not trust his Angels who rebelled in the days of Noah; they married the daughters of men. They broke the angelic core by intermarrying with the daughters of men; that is why God says He did not even trust some of the Angels who He created to be perfect, talkless of men that that were made from the dust. The day and gave his right to the devil in the garden of Eden, was the day man became evil and corrupt before God.


That created room for redemption... that is why Christ came to pay the price for our sins and redeem us from the devil and hell, only if you believe in him and meet his terms of redemption.

• Jeremiah 16:12 says.....

          “And you have done worse than your father's for behold he woke everyone after the imagination of his evil heart (Jeremiah 17:9)”.


    The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?

  The heart is the hiding part of man's life that others are unaware of. One does not know what his neighbour or family member is thinking or planning  against you. It is only by the spirit of God and the mercy of God one can survive the evil intent of an evil heart.

• Mark 7:21 Jesus says......

          “For within out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders; the heart is the custodian of evil thoughts or good thoughts..”



Jesus says that it's from the heart evil emanates (Proverbs 4:23). Keep thy heart or guide it, for out of it are the issues of life. If the heart is full of light, the person's whole life will be good and thy future secure, but if the heart is full of darkness, thy life will be full of evil and thy future will end in failure.

• Romans 1:24 says........

       “Wherefore God also gave them up to  uncleanliness through the lust of their own heart to dishonor their own bodies between themselves”.


       When what they only think of is immorality of their soul, it is what they think that they practice. So God let them have their own evil thoughts manifest in the flesh (Pro 1:10-19, 24-33). Proverbs 1:10-19 warns us not to follow the evil counsel of the wicked nor join them in their camp to destroy innocent people because their thought is full of evil and wicked schemes. They are greedy and covetous in acts. So, evil imagination must be cancelled with the blood and name of Jesus.

Conclusion

Thanks for stopping by. I hope this post was inspiring and helpful. If troubled by evil imaginations, learn to occupy your mind with godly things (Philippians 4:8). Meditate in the things of God and there's no room or place for the devil to manipulate your thoughts through evil imagination. May God bless you and keep you safe and free in Jesus name.

AMEN.
