The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [19] 11/30/2023 Evening thought)

2nd Timothy 3: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

As we near the final frontier in this earth’s history, and difficulties and hurdles loom on the horizon, we will have some hard choices and decisions to make, and if we were to understand the importance of the three previous points, and were to incorporate them into our everyday experiences, we will in large part be enabled to live victoriously from day to day.

God desires that the laws and powers of the mind be engaged for His glory, for His seal will be placed in the foreheads of those who overcome, through the indwelling of The Living and written word. We serve a God Who knows nothing of defeat, for in all that satan did or did not do, someway, somehow, we will observe Jesus Christ coming out on top each and every time after being squished. This victorious living is ours for the taking, if we will adopt the last three points, and for this reason, we will end with the following passages of scripture.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 37 In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Joel 3: 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

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

The Laws And Powers Of The Mind Part [18] 11/29/2023 Morning thought)

Romans 8: 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Whatever may be the issue, whatever the problem, the disease, the finances, the sin, or the disturbance in our lives, we should form the habit of giving God a shot at it first. Too often, we leave the Spirit and the word behind for last, and only after a string of losses and disappointments that we might remember that there’s a God in heaven.

 [3] Choice and decision are in large part the arbiters of outcomes and destiny. As was stated before, in most situations, everything has to pass through the gateway of choice, and for this reason, persons can determine to a very large extent, outcomes. Whether in spiritual, or temporal things, a firm decision will be needed in order for us to accomplish anything worthwhile.

 In making excuses, in blaming others, in placing the responsibility on the backs of the church, of church members, of situations, the weather, one’s race, the Feds or even satan who is too often made the scape goat for our failures, we essentially relinquish the power of decision and choice God has granted unto each of us.

1st Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

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