What is on your mind?

I am starting off this blog by asking, "What is on your mind?" We hear this so often that we don't even really take the time to reflect what is on our mind. A lot of times we just answer nothing or we just scratch the surface of what is on our minds. Tell me what is on your mind and I will tell you "who" is on your mind. See we have a choice we will either be thinking kingdom minded or we will be consumed by worries of this world. One of my favorite scriptures is Philippians 4:8! "For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]."




Have you ever noticed that once you allow one little seed of doubt or worry to come in your thoughts that you are consumed with negative thinking? It is like a domino effect. It just takes on little seed of doubt or worry to come in to cause you to start doubting what you know to be true. Don't allow that seed to be sown in your mind on today. As soon as it tries to come in cast it down in the mighty name of Jesus! Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.~2Corinthians10:5 The scripture does not say some things but it say "every" high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God. We have the authority to do this in the mighty name of Jesus!


I started off by letting you know that if you let me know what is on your mind I will let you know "who" is on your mind! That is because if worry and doubt are in your mind, if indecisiveness is on your mind the King of Kings is not on your mind! When our minds are focused on Him we have peace! The word says that when our minds are focused on Him we have a peace that surpasses all understanding! "You will keep him in perfect peace,Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trust in you."~Isaiah26:3 That lets us know that if we keep our mind stayed on Jesus we have no choice but to have perfect peace! Worry and peace can not be in the same room! When you choose to usher in peace, by keeping your mind stayed on Jesus worry has to go!

So my friend, when those thoughts that do not line up with the word of God try to come in cast them down immediately! When you are surrounded by confusion and you feel as if you can not think straight think on those things that are lovely and pure! Think on the word of God! Meditate on His promises! Praise Him for His faithfulness! It is hard to entertain foolishness when you are so anchored to truth! Remember worry and peace can not be in the same room! There is not enough room for worry and peace in your life! Cling to peace! Cling to truth! Cling to the knowledge of God! Cling to God's promises! So today my friend, let peace, joy, patience, love, and steadfastness be on your mind! You are what you think! So think according to God's Holy word!
