Beware of the evil thought process

BEWARE OF
THE EVIL THOUGHT PROCESS
JOHN 13:1-4
EXODUS 1:1-12

JOHN 13
1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew
that His hour had come that He should depart from this
world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the
world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it
into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His
hands, and that He had come from God and was going to
God,
4 rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel
and girded Himself.
5 After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash
the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel with
which He was girded.

EXODUS 1
1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel who came
to Egypt; each man and his household came with Jacob:
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;
4 Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 All those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy
persons (for Joseph was in Egypt already).
6 And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation.
7 But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased
abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the
land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know
Joseph.

EXODUS 1
9 And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the children of
Israel are more and mightier than we;
10 "come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply,
and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our
enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land."
11 Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them
with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities,
Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied
and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.

A TRAGIC REALITY
THE MIND OF MAN IS A BATTLE FIELD
BETWEEN
MAN

GOD

A TRAGIC REALITY
MAN CAN THINK WHAT HE WANTS.
SATAN CAN PUT HIS THOUGHTS IN THE MIND
(HEART OF MAN)
GOD CAN HIS OWN THOUGHTS IN THE MIND
OF MAN

JESUS AND SATAN
JESUS HAD HIS PLAN OF LOVE FOR HIS OWN
AND
SATAN HAD ALREADY PUT IN THE HEART OF
JUDAS TO BETRAY JESUS.

His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the
Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved
them to the end.

JOHN 10:10
10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to
destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may
have it more abundantly.

THE CASE OF JOSEPH’S BROTHERS
GENESIS 37
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and
they hated him even more.
6 So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have
dreamed:
7 "There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold,
my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your
sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf."
8 And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us?
Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him
even more for his dreams and for his words.

GENESIS 37
9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his
brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And
this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down
to me."
10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father
rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you
have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers
indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?"
11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter
in mind.

THE CASE OF KING SAUL
I SAMUEL 17
6 Now it had happened as they were coming home, when
David was returning from the slaughter of the Philistine, that
the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and
dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and
with musical instruments.
7 So the women sang as they danced, and said: "Saul has slain
his thousands, And David his ten thousands."
8 Then Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and
he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me
they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he
have but the kingdom?"
9 So Saul eyed David from that day forward.

THE CASE OF THE PHARISEES AND
SADDUCEES
JOHN 11
45 Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had
seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told
them the things Jesus did.
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council
and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
48 "If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him,
and the Romans will come and take away both our place and
nation."
49 And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said
to them, "You know nothing at all,

THE DEVIL’S ULTIMATE STRATEGY
THE DEVIL MAKES PEOPLE APPEAR TO YOU AS
YOUR ENEMIES SO THAT YOU ANTICIPATE BY
HATING THEM AND ULTIMATELY DESTROY
THEM.

PHARAON SAW THE ISRAELITES AS A THREAT.

THE BROTHERS OF JOSEPH SAW JOSEPH AS
ONE WHO WILL DOMINATE OVER THEM
8 And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us?
Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him
even more for his dreams and for his words.

THE PHARISEES AND THE SADDUCEES SAW
JESUS AS A THREAT FOR THEIR NATION
47 Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council
and said, "What shall we do? For this Man works many signs.
48 "If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him,
and the Romans will come and take away both our place and
nation."

THE TRUTH IS…
YOU HAVE NO ENEMY!
SATAN ALONE IS YOUR ENEMY!!
EPHESIANS 6:12
“For we are not contending against flesh and blood,
but against the principalities, against the powers,
against the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the
heavenly places.”

A BLASTANT LIE
THE DEVIL WANTS TO INTEGRATE YOU IN HIM
THROUGH HIS THOUGHTS
JOHN 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of
your father you want to do. He was a murderer from
the beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie,
he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and
the father of it.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK
WHEN YOU ACCEPT THE THOUGHT OF
SATAN YOU BECOME HIM.
PROVERB 23:7
7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

HOW FAR THE DEVIL HAS GONE IN YOUR MIND?
 WHO ARE YOU COMPARING YOURSELF WITH?
 WHO ARE YOU CRITIZING SO NEGATIVELY?
 WHO ARE YOU JEALOUS OF?
 DO YOU GIVE NEGATIVE MOTIF TO PEOPLE?
 WHO ARE YOU SEEING AS A THREAT?
 WHO ARE YOU SEEING AS AN ENEMY?
 WHO DO YOU HATE SO MUCH?
 HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE YOU ALREADY INFLUENCING TO SEE
SOMEONE NEGATIVELY?

CONSIDER THESE FACTS
 THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL CONTINUED TO MULTIPLY AND
FINALLY LEFT EGYPT.
BUT THE EGYPTIANS LOSS GREATLY.
 JOSEPH FINALLY BECAME THE PRIME MINISTER OF EGYPT.
BUT HIS BROTHERS LIVED WITH GUILT FOR MANY YEARS AND
WERE FULL OF FEAR WHEN THEY MET HIM IN EGYPT.
 DAVID FINALLY BECAME KING OF ISRAEL.
BUT KING SAUL DIED.
 AFTER THE PHARISEES KILLED JESUS, HE ROSE AGAIN ON THE
THRID DAY.
BUT HISTORY WILL REMEMBER FOREVER THAT THE PHARISEES
AND THE SADDUCEES KILLED GOD.

CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS
17 Do you not see that whatever goes into the mouth
passes into the stomach, and so passes on?
18 But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from
the heart, and this defiles a man.
19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder,
adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.
20 These are what defile a man; but to eat with
unwashed hands does not defile a man."
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR THOUGHTS

CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts,
said, "Why do you think evil in your
hearts?
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE OF YOUR THOUGHTS

THE COMMAND OF GOD
Proverb 3:29
Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
For he dwells by you for safety's sake.

THE COMMAND OF GOD
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if
there is any excellence, if there is anything
worthy of praise, think about these things.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure,

there is any excellence, if there is anything

LESSONS OF TODAY
 DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ANYONE.
 DO NOT BE JEALOUS IN YOUR HEART.
 DO NOT BELIEVE THAT ANYONE IS YOUR ENEMY.
 DO NOT BE ANGRY IN YOUR HEART AGAINS ANYONE.
 DO NOT SPREAD BAD THOUGHTS AROUND.
 WATCH OVER YOUR THOUGHTS.
 KEEP ONLY THOUGHTS THAT ARE TRUE, HONORABLE, JUST,
PURE, LOVELY, GRACIOUS, EXCELLENT, PRAISE WORTHY.
