Your Mind Set determines Your Living

Text: 1 Peter 1:13, 2 Corinthians 4:4,11:3, Romans 8:6

What you think about will determine what you believe, and what you believe will determine what you speak(Proverbs 23:7,2 Corinthians 4:13). It is instructive that we control our thoughts to be excellent and praise worthy -think on the Word of God, the triune God-God The Father, Lord Jesus Christ and the precious Holy Spirit;think on things that are true, honest, just ,pure, lovely and of good report-faith based thoughts(Phillipians 4:8).

The Devil fights to blind the mindsof unbelievers(2 Corinthians 4:4),to corrupt the thoughts and minds of believers(2 Corinthians 11:3) and to steal, kill or destroy our belief system or faith(John 10:10,Luke 22 vs 31-32).We have our faith in our spiritman as part of the fruit of the spirit which must be complimented with our faith or belief in our minds and consciousness to produce results. Faith held in a pure conscience delivers according to promises declared prophetically from the Word of God for our lives.(1 Timothy 1:19).

The state of our conscience or consciousness in our minds therefore determines the effectiveness or strength or productivity of our faith .The mystery of faith must be held in a pure, good conscience to produce.(1 Timothy 3:9). We must exercise ourselves to always have a conscience void of offence toward God and toward man for our faith to produce.(Acts 24:16)
Therefore we must girt the loins of our mind with truth of the Word of God (1 Peter 1:13, Ephesians 6:14) and be sober, watching for any negative intrusion into our minds, and casting down such words, thoughts and imaginations and replacing them with the Word of God(2 Corinthians 10:5-6), and having readiness to revenge every disobedience orchestrated by the enemy when your own obedience of faith is complete(Acts 6:7). That is our daily and moment by moment battle of life.

Once our mind can accept and receive the blessings throuugh faith, we then begin to experience it outwardly.
God bless you as you pray everyday for grace and mercy needed to be watchful and for your mind to be girt about with truth and for your conscience to be purified.(Hebrews 9:14, 13:20) and the grace to exercise scriptural faith in the finished work on the Cross.
