Hi katieanna
You must "take every negative or dangerous thought captive" and deal with it for what it is.
My personal vendetta is against fear. I live in an African country where senseless violence is part of the daily norm.
If I didn't take the thoughts of fear caused by this captive and literally tell them to "get out" I would go crazy.
Your situation is more complex in that you are worrying "that God is expecting more from me".
Personally that wouldn't worry me, that would excite me and I would endeavour to find out what it is. Remember God always starts small and builds up. So I don't think He's asking you to publicly burn a copy of the Koran and challenge Allah to get off the loo and respond. ;)
But if that's where He's leading you take it a step at a time, be obedient and learn to trust Him more deeply every day.
You may also want to read "He came to set the captives free" by Rebecca Brown. She's right in there at the fore front of fighting demons and though I'm not suggesting that this where you're supposed to be (VERY dangerous turf), she has some insightful things to say about obedience and listening.

Chris,
I thank you for reminding me to take captive thoughts that are dangerous and negative. You are so right. I sure hate to hear that violence is all around you. May I ask: are you a native of Africa, or has your job taken you there for a season? Let me know from time to time how you are doing, ok. I'll remember you in my prayers. God bless!
