It All Starts Within the Mind

We are all created with a brain.  The brain is a decision-making machine.  It is stated that each time we learn something, a wrinkle pops up on the brain.  Within the brain is housed the mind.  The mind is the element of a person that enables them to be aware of the world and their experiences, to think, and to feel; the faculty of consciousness and thought.  But I wonder....Was our mind empty space when we were birth into the world? Empty space is still a place...a place to be filled.  Filled with whatever you allow.  What are you filling your space with? What happens when we choose to think negative thoughts, gossip, and become bitter or angry?  What does it doe to our emotions, body, or life?  Does it create stress and other sickness?  Is it time to purge?  Is it time to make a change.  A changed mindset brings about a changed life.

As Christians, we have a new nature, which is the nature of God deposited in us at the New Birth. God’s spirit, a new heart, and new mind was given to us.

Romans 8:6 speaks of the mind of the flesh and the mind of the Spirit. There is a war going on within ourselves.   EXAMPLE: Let’s say I’m thinking about an injustice I suffered because of another person and I began to get angry. I start thinking about how much I dislike that person. I get tensed, stressed out, get a headache, face become distorted, tired, blood pressure up……….and many of us stop speaking to others for the rest of our or their lives.  That's what you call being stuck.

Many of us are stuck, within bondage within our own minds! Fighting ourselves...holding ourselves in bondage...in slavery.   Often, thinking and even saying, "I can't"!   You have stayed there long enough.  Remember the Israelites in the wilderness.  Took a trip that was suppose to have taken 3 days, but instead took 40 years.  The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, you have dwelt long enough. It’s time to move on! Deuteronomy 1:6

I am saying to you today.  If you are stuck in a rut, it's time to come out.  Do something different! Move on!  Be empowered!
