Those thoughts are from the Enemy, who often uses our own desires against us.
We live on a battlefield. We’re stamped with the image of God and targeted by the Enemy who uses our own desires against us, as James says. Our Enemy hates God and wants to destroy everything he can that bears God’s image. Be aware of this! The Enemy wants to kill your dreams. He wants to bury the purpose God has placed inside of you.
