The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [1] 11/21/2023 (Evening thought)

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

A fearful battle is being waged for our minds and it’s scheduled to increase in intensity and severity as we approach earth’s final crisis. No one can be ignorant of what is at stake, except at the peril of their souls. This battle affects persons across all age groups, and is no respecter of persons. From tweenagers to the elderly, from the young and the restless, to those of more mature years, no one is exempt.

Newborn babes do not get a free pass in this conflict and in fact the battle begins before they are even born. Thus, we owe it to ourselves to try to understand how we can preserve our minds in this conflict so as to live victoriously in the here and now, and for the great hereafter. Unlike the mark of the beast, the seal of God is only given in the forehead, where the seat of a person’s intelligence is located. Here is where things like our decision making, rational thought, judgement, and reasoning take place.

Thus, the seal of God is only given in the forehead, for wherever the mind goes, the body would follow. This is unlike the mark of the beast which is given in the hand, or in the forehead, for satan couldn’t care less whether or not persons fully understand what is at stake in the final conflict, once they end up taking the mark.

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

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Dear Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok. Part [17] 11/20/2023 (Morning thought)

Proverbs 4: 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

[Patriarchs and Prophets pp 460] We have a work to do to resist temptation. Those who would not fall a prey to Satan's devices must guard well the avenues of the soul; they must avoid reading, seeing, or hearing that which will suggest impure thoughts. The mind should not be left to wander at random upon every subject that the adversary of souls may suggest. This will require earnest prayer and unceasing watchfulness.

We must be aided by the abiding influence of the Holy Spirit, which will attract the mind upward, and habituate it to dwell on pure and holy things. And we must give diligent study to the word of God. “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to Thy word.” “Thy word,” says the psalmist, “have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee.” Psalm 119:9, 11.

We will end with passages of Scripture that would help us to choose wisely, and let social media, and subscribers and influencers be guided by the truths presented today, for the choices we make will have ripple effects, either for good or for evil.

Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward. 14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
