Transforming The Mind

Where did the time go? It is almost the end of March already! Our minds can not conceive how God designed time any better than we can conceive the power of our minds. We just have to understand that God is the only one who has all the answers and we must trust Him with all our questions. Let us take a look at the mind.
The Webster’s dictionary describes the mind as: "That which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason; Knowledge and intellectual ability: An opinion formed by judging something; your intention, what you intend to do". I will stop right here and ask what are your intentions?
The mind is the most powerful tool that any one possesses and it can make or break an individual. Just as a pistol can destroy anyone who is caught in its line of fire, our minds can cause us to do things, beyond our wildest imaginations, whether in a good way or in a bad way.
In what way will you choose to use your mind today? Will it be in a negative way, in a positive way or in no way at all? .There is a saying, "the saying, the mind is a terrible thing to waste."
How do you plan to use your mind to impact the lives of others? The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it is opened. What good is a closed mind or a mind that is not used for the greater good of mankind?
We are responsible for our thoughts and actions. We can use them to destroy ourselves or to create heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. What you think determines what you say, what you say determines what you do, what you do determines your habits and your habits determines your destiny. It truly is the thought life that defiles a person:
Bear in mind that you should use your heart, because Jesus challenges the focus of our hearts and our intentions. He said, "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'unclean." (Mark 7:20)
The wise man also shed some light on this issue when he said: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he Proverb (23:7) and Paul warns: "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" (Romans 12:2).
What kind of character are you allowing your thoughts to build? Will you entertain pure thoughts, so that you can have joy in your life or will you entertain evil thoughts and have pain and suffering?
When we begin to ask ourselves serious questions and begin to transform our minds, God promises:
"For here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to take you out of these countries, gather you from all over, and bring you back to your own land. I'll pour pure water over you and scrub you clean. I'll give you a new heart; put a new spirit in you. I'll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that's God-willed, not self-willed. I'll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. You'll once again live in the land I gave your ancestors. You'll be my people! I'll be your God!"(Ezekiel 36:26-27) The Message.
Until next time
Love, joy, peace and blessings to you
