Negative talk in our head is something we all must LEARN TO DEAL WITH
How human wisdom deals with the negative talk in our head:
1: ANAESTHETIZE THE INNER VOICE
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
Matthew 16:24–25 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/mat/16/24-25/s_945024
THE PURPOSE OF OUR INNER VOICE
“For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature (conscience) do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.”
Romans 2:13–16 ESV https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/rom/2/13-16/s_1048013
THE CORRUPTION OF OUR INNER VOICE
“For it is written: ‘He (God) shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you (protect you).’”
Luke 4:10 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/esv/luk/4/10/s_977010
“The great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ‘Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.'”
Revelation 12:9–11 NKJV https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/rev/12/9-11/s_1179009
Our conscience must always be SUBORDINATED TO SCRIPTURE
How the Bible instructs us to deal with OUR INNER VOICE
For though we walk in the flesh WE DO NOT FIGHT OUR BATTLES ACCORDING TO THE FLESH
