Remember that little saying? If you look closely at that you can see it's talking about strongholds in our life. You know, things people say to you that hurts your feelings and leaves a strong hold on you in your mind, (holds your mind captive to it). The devil likes to keep reminding you what they said. Like a tape recorder, over and over again, he tells you until you become what you think.
"For as the thoughts of his heart are, so is he"...Basic Bible.
This is where you 'cast' those thoughts down, (throw them out of your mind). But you can't stop there. You have to put something else (another thought) back in to replace it. Those thoughts should be truth. God's Word.
2 Cor. 10:5 "Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing that is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ." Basic Bible
Cleaning house in your mind is like cleaning house in the natural. It doesn't take long before it's cluttered again. You have to be disciplined and not get lazy to keep the house clean. Constantly picking up, throwing things out, basic cleaning to getting your house right.
Same with your mind. Pick yourself up and know who you are in Christ(knowing who you are in Christ means knowing what the Bible says about you). Throw, I said throw those hurtful things out and replace them with lovely, lovable things (Phil. 4:8) and get your mind, your heart right with God!
