drive out unwanted thoughts

“When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and the oxen, and poured out the changers’ money and overturned the tables. And He said to those who sold doves, “Take these things away! Do not make My Father’s house a house of merchandise!” Then His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal for Your house has eaten Me up.””
‭‭John‬ ‭2‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭11‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

1.
O I belong to Jesus! He gave His life for me.
There’s nothing that can harm me; He set the captive free.
:/: I’m free from condemnation when in the light I walk,
From Satan’s accusations that would mock. :/:
2.
O I belong to Jesus! He paid a price for me.
My body, soul, and spirit are now His property—
:/: The Holy Spirit’s temple, a place of rest and prayer,
No longer thieves and robbers dwelling there. :/:
3.
O I belong to Jesus! And in His steps I’ll walk,
My eyes set straight before me, my feet set on the Rock;
:/: The shield of faith I’m holding, God’s Word my only guide,
All other thoughts and voices cast aside. :/:
