The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [5] 11/23/2023 (Evening thought)

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This does not mean that children would not deviate from the script, they may, but at the very least, the foundational principles, and laws of God’s kingdom would be etched upon their minds at an early age so that they will have God’s moral compass to refer to, when making decisions later on in life.

For example, as one born, and raised in a Seventh Day Adventist home, my parents did their best to try to etch upon the tables of our hearts, the Bible, and its teachings, so as to implant God’s moral compass to guide us in our choices as we grew. Therefore, in retrospect, we could accurately define in real time what that translates into. For starters, it taught us the definition of right and wrong, so that we could be guided in our decision-making process, even though my personal decisions did not always come down on the side of righteousness, to put it mildly.

But at least, I was aware that I was doing something wrong whenever I chose to do so. Thus, when it was time to return to God, I did not need a televangelist or a preacher. I knew the way home because God’s moral compass had been embedded into our minds at a tender age, and it not only delineated right and wrong, it also specified Christ as the Only Savior as the be all, end all in salvation and righteousness.

Deuteronomy 6: 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

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

The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [4] 11/22/2023 (Morning thought)

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusts in thee. 4 Trust in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength

Therefore, there are laws and powers of the mind to be understood by all, especially in the context of the final conflict that is headed our way. Several of them will now be given in detail, with the relevant Bible texts and references from the pen of inspiration, so that if persons so choose, we might be instructed in wise paths so as to make straight paths for our feet.

 [1] The mind can be trained to think a certain way.

The human mind was so made by God that it can be trained in certain modes of thought. This fact is to be understood as being applied to both good, and evil. Much like a raw piece of dough from which you can make bread, bakes, pastries, or dumplings, the final product depends on how it is trained, and the ingredients that are added.

Thus, the Scriptures encourage parents to train the young, pliable minds of the children, in a way that is productive of good and to only add such ingredients that would produce the best results. And adults are advised to train their minds to familiarity with the word of God, so that better outcomes in life can be our lot.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

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