CHANGE YOUR MIND

Proverbs 23: 7a

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

WHAT YOU THINK, YOU BECOME.

This is a true fact that what occupies your mind, you become. The more thoughts about JESUS and His way of being; the more love you give to Him and the more praise, thanks and worship of GOD, the more you become like JESUS. JESUS is present now and dwells in the heart of the faithful; "in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path." JESUS is ready to guide in every decision that you have to make, all He needs is for you to ask Him.

It is a part of the Jewish tradition, for the devout Jew to say the Sh'ma morning and night. This was part of the LORD's instruction to the faithful believer, so that they would never forget that the LORD GOD is One LORD and that you should love the LORD your GOD with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.  JESUS made it clear to His followers that this was the first and great commandment.  JESUS understood that what you think about, determines who you are and how you act.

The power of suggestion is the devil's playground; he likes to suggest things and see what happens. When your mind is stayed on the LORD, suggestions that are not of GOD can not take hold, they sail away in the sea of oblivion. Protect your mind by staying focused on the Word of the LORD; Holy Scripture and the presence of JESUS in your midst. Do not allow your mind to take flight on the wings of suggestions from the air. 

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD forever; for in the LORD GOD is everlasting strength. (Isaiah 26: 3, 4)
