Do not be
conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that
by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect. Romans 12:2
Do not let your mind control you.
You control your mind using the plumb-line as the word of God. Check if are you
thinking the right thoughts as per the word of God or are you thinking anything
contrary to it. Are your thoughts only about self? Be careful to change your
thoughts otherwise the inappropriate thoughts will ruin your life and lead you
to the road of destruction.
Your mind has an appetite.
Depends what are you feeding it with. You see there are many poor people who
don't get the regular hygienic food due to lack of money to buy it. To keep
themselves alive, they eat from the garbage. What a normal person throws away
in the garbage, these people pick it up and eat. That same way if you don't
feed your mind with good thoughts and hygienic thoughts based from the bible,
your mind will automatically feed itself with the garbage.
Where do negative thoughts,
depression, pride, violence, arrogance, lust come from? They come from the
garbage, because your mind is not fed with hygienic food. It takes the same
energy and strength to feed your mind with good or garbage. You have to choose.
It may seem difficult to feed your mind with good things. But there is no point
in thinking garbage, it only will sooth you emotionally and later take you into
depression. Rather than soothing your emotions feed your mind with good food.
Don't be conformed to your
situations. Your health not improving, your business not doing well, your
marriage not working, you are not able to overcome etc. Thinking about these
things will not help you. Renew your mind by hearing and reading the word of
God. Meditate on what God has in His mind about you. You may think God has
nothing good about you in His mind, otherwise this would not have happened to
you. It’s not the truth. The truth is that this situation is tailor-made for
you, so that you can succeed and rise above. Bible says, “As a man thinks so is
he.” Think right. Feed your mind with good food, rather than garbage. Imagine
yourself eating the garbage every time you think something unhygienic.
You are a more than a conqueror.
You are an over-comer. You are born again to be victorious. Move around with
people who will challenge you and help you to get your thoughts right. You can
do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you.
