Everything Begins From The Mind

Nothing that you do today whether good or bad happen automatically. Everything begins from the mind. You do good, because your mind is full of good things. You do evil, because your mind is full of evil things. The mind is the core of all action. Just like a good tree will produce good fruits, so do a good heart will produce good action. A bad tree will only produces bad fruits.

What kind of input do you give to your mind? That will determine the output. If you spend many hours inserting into your mind things that is not pleasing to God. Most likely your doing will be the things that is not pleasing to God. However, if your pleasure is on the things that is pleasing to God, such as meditating upon His Words, praying and worshipping the Lord. Very soon His Words will transform your mind. And this will lead to the transformation of your whole being.

Why many believers, no matter how much they try to change, they just can not make it. The reason is, because they are not willing to pay the price of spending time on meditating upon the Words. Only the Word of God is sharp enough to penetrate into our soul. Only the Words have the power to change us. If today, your desire is to have your life transformed, do this one thing. Saturate your mind with His Words. Replace all your unfruitful activities such as watching television, chatting, surfing the net, reading news paper, playing games, etc with reading the Bible. Do not worry even if you do not understand what you read, just read, read and read, make it your point to read minimum ten chapters a day. Do it now, and do it again tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, and keep doing the same thing again and again, after ten days, you will notice that, it will become your habit. You will find joy, peace, love and strength in His Words.

As you continue reading the Words, reject, and refuse to give in to any kind of thoughts that you know which is not of God. Watch out what you read, listen and talk, and with whom you are fellowshipping with. If you spend more time with the ungodly people, very soon you will be become one of them. Spend more time with other believers. If you need a counseling, go to your pastor or your home leader. Never seek advice from the ungodly. NEVER means NEVER!

Pray without ceasing, spend more time to worship the Lord. Because while you are worshipping, your mind are focused on Him and Him alone. You can be assured that the more often you do this, the more sensitive you will be on the things of God.

Be alert all the time!

Amen!
