Being a judge of evil thoughts and chasing imaginations and every whim or suspicion instead of casting them down, well, I can't say it gets you nowhere, because it does. It gets you to silly land, a world that's made up by your own suspicions and unknowns,  instead of facts and hard evidence. The sad thing is, the uncontrolled mind creates imaginary problems that suck the joy right out of you. The spirit of silliness has gripped the mind and now you are left silly  but with no joy. I've seen men silly and women silly, old and young, myself and others, it happens to all. Living in silly land is dangerous, with too many open gates and not enough guards around the city, its wide open for attack, the enemy comes and literally has free reign. And the silly one is taken into bondage, mentally he is led away captive by the devil and he throws them into their own prison!!!! How crafty!!! The very prison they have built for themselves one imagination after another. We are supposed to bring into subjection the thoughts and intents of our heart not allow ourselves to be led away by them. 

The mind is where battles are won or lost. Wishing you a victorious day! Think well 😊

Philippians 4:8

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
