It is easy to tell people, “Don’t just talk the talk but you must walk the walk”, but it is hard to actually do it. Part of the problem is that little voice that that tries to talk each of us into doing things that you know you should not be doing.

John 10:  4-5,

4. When he (Jesus) has brought out all his own (His children), he goes on ahead of them (He leads them), and his sheep follow him because they know his voice (They have spent time with Jesus).

5. But they will never follow a stranger (the devil); in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice."

We are the anchor that anchors ourselves to Christ. It is our call. We have free will to follow Christ or not. It is completely up to us to cast down the evil imaginations that Satan tries to get us to act on. Christ has great opportunities for each of us, and those opportunities will only come to pass as long as we:

1. Listen to the voice and leading of Christ.
2. Actually do what Christ is telling us to do. AND
3. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."

2 Corinthians 10:5,

5. commands us, "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ."
