That which we allow ourselves to consume the most is usually the same that consumes our mind and thoughts. Staying in God’s Word, reading, meditating and the study of God's Word saturates our mind and thoughts with the "knowledge of God". That knowledge and the thoughts that accompany this knowledge is that every believer is a new creation, and being so, his/her thoughts are to be loving, caring, truthful, encouraging, healthy and good! All other thoughts come from the enemy and are contrary to who you are and to whose you are, and these thoughts MUST be resisted.
As Saved brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus, we MUST continually resist wrongful thinking, harmful jealousies and unhealthy opinions from entering our thoughts. The ramifications are that if we don't change our thoughts, we can and will return to many of our old ways. Sadly, there are some who have new hearts, but old heads.
The Bible tells us what we are to do. The Word of God instructs us that when evil, unhealthy and ungodly thoughts creep in, that we are to completely resist by:
"Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5 NKJV)
BE ON GUARD - Keep Your Mind On Christ and He will give you perfect peace...Peace in your home, in your family and in your relationships. Do away with contrary thoughts.
Now, I'll ask again, "What's on YOUR Mind?" Prayerfully, The Love of Christ. Operate in Grace today!
