I had a back field behind my house. It was full of thistles, and weeds of every sort. The weed seeds would blow into my vegetable and flower beds. They were a constant nuisance.

Nuisance definition: something that invades or interferes with another’s rights or interests (as the use or enjoyment of property) by being offensive, annoying, dangerous, obstructive, or unhealthful. Great definition for weed seed thoughts.

Internal strongholds that oppose God’s will and ways continually propagate weed seeds. These are rogue thoughts that invade and obstruct our view of ourselves through God’s truth. Scripture is our strategic weapon. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says, “For the weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.”

Verse 5 says, “Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” Weed-seed-lies are ‘high things’ planted to distract us from our faith in God alone.
