Proverbs 30:32 If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Evil thoughts will come. We can’t help that. That’s a byproduct of this flesh body living in a cursed world because of sin. Thoughts, by themselves, have no power. They have no power until we act on them or give them power through our words (Prov 18:21). So, when an evil thought comes, don’t say it. Don’t give it power. Cover your mouth.

Evil thoughts are not limited to killing someone or robbery. Evil thoughts are anything contrary to the word of God. Your body and mind may say you’re sick, but don’t say that. Declare you’re healed (1 Pet. 2:24). Your bank account may be low. Instead of saying you’re broke or don’t have enough, say wealth and riches are in my house (Ps. 112:3). The same thing goes with what they say on the news. We don’t have to repeat it. That only makes the negative report stronger.

Any and all evil, negative, or perverted thoughts should not be spoken. Don’t give it power. Say what God says.
