IS YOUR MIND WORKING FOR YOU OR AGAINST YOU?

IS YOUR MIND WORKING FOR YOU OR AGAINST YOU?

2 Timothy 1:7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

We are spirit, we live in a body, and we have a soul.

Our soul is made up of three parts, our mind, our will and our emotion.

Your mind is what you think with

Your will is what you want

Your emotions are what you act on.

Matthew 22: 37   Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is what the mind does; it is supposed to make the right choices to love the Lord with all your heart.

However, your mind can only do what it is trained or renewed to do.

 We still have a will and emotions to deal with.

Your will is doing what you want it to do, is called the desires of the mind. If we give into the world with our mind we are abandoning the call God has put on our life.

Then comes the emotions, your emotions can really make your day or cause disaster in your day. They are a state of feeling. Feeling happy or feeling anger, but the one that is most dangerous is fear. Fear can lead us to desperation. A lot of bad things can happen to us when we act out of desperation.

Romans 8:15    For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Fear will put you under bondage while anger causes toxins, or poisons to be released into your body.

Ephesians 4:31   ³¹ Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:   

1 Corinthians 6: 19-20   ¹⁹ What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

²⁰ For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Let us talk about our mind: our mind is what we think. Did you ever hear the expression “I gave her or him a piece of my mind?”

Or, I think I am losing my mind:

Or, my mind isn’t what it used to be

It is just mind over matter. I don’t mind and it don’t matter.

That is bad lingo in any language. We need to protect ourselves from the words of our mouth. There is power in the words we speak.  From those words our life is formed.

Eph. 4:23   And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

We need to renew our minds daily, so the enemy can not deceive us. The enemy is very cunning and very smart. Take heed to your selves, that your heart be not deceived.

Eph 2:5   ⁵ Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Open your mind and receive the inspired word of God.

Receive this anointing and power from reading and discerning of His word.

Let the word quicken your mind with the life force that makes our spirit alive beyond natural thinking.

If you will let Gods presence in your life, the Holy Spirit will give you insight to put Gods word into action. Gods word will not return void. You must believe you receive.

Romans 12: 2    And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

It is not about your will. It is about the will of God and the renewing of your mind.

Continue daily in Gods word. Fill your mind with the thoughts that God has for you. Turn away from carnal things and accept the word of God as your way of life. The rewards are many, the peace and joy of the word are awesome.

Stay in the word
