The thoughts from our enemy usually have to do with anger, envy, strife, gossiping, committing sexual sins, vengeance, etc. These thoughts fall into two categories: The spirit of our enemy, the devil and from the spirit of our advocate, Jesus Christ. Often we find ourselves in subtle situations which cause us to have thoughts which, on a good day, we would not follow through with. James Chapter 1 Verse 14 says, “But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own lusts.” We must guard our mind, because 365 days out of the year, the devil constantly tempts us with thoughts and suggestions in our mind, lustful thoughts, which can ultimately cause the break-down of our relationship.

When we discover that what is in our heart does not match what Gods word says, it is extremely important to realign our heart with Gods word. It is essential to understand what is in our heart and where our thoughts come from. What is in a person’s heart is what they consider important. ‘Eat and drink!’ he says to you, but his heart is not with you.” This is an example of how bad relationships begin. Proverbs Chapter 23 verse 7 reads: “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. When we have feelings for someone or something, we have given birth to those feelings through thought.
