”For as he thinks within himself, so is he.
Proverbs 23:7 TPT
One area of struggle for many believers is the mind. The mind is a seed to our actions and as we know, every seed produces after its kind. There’s no guava seed that produces apples unless it’s either a miracle or demonic . A mango seed produces mangoes. There’s no way my parents could produce a white daughter because they’re both black! I’m their product. Likewise ,your actions are the fruit of your mind. A copy and paste. If your mind is filled with thoughts of revenge you will feel angry, if your mind is filled with pornography , the fruit of that is masturbation, fornication and even demonic dreams of molestation. There should be no unintentional thought, no careless thought. Careless thinking is the reason why many have committed suicide. Thoughts on the loose are the devil’s playground.
Your mind must be renewed by the Word of God. There’s no transformation for a person who rejects the Word. The difference between you and the next “deep” person is the mind. You cannot become like someone whose mindset you don’t have and that’s why many can’t handle the mantles they pray for. You can’t become like Christ if you don’t have the mind of Christ. You can’t become like your spiritual father if you don’t think like he does because you only become what you think. You’re a product of your thoughts.
The mind of Christ is the Word of God. I don’t understand a believer who does not have a Bible. How do you expect to be transformed, where is the map? Who and what is directing you? It’s not in cramming scripture, it’s in living scripture. It is foolish to think you’ll pass History if you don’t read History books, because the equipping of your mind depends on what it is fed.
Do you know what’s responsible for those actions of yours? The mind. Either careless thinking or unguided thinking which is thinking outside the Word of God. Yes, even thoughts of low self esteem! It is careless thinking or unguided thinking. Yes even depression ! Let’s touch on different kinds of thoughts this week. Our God whose desire is for us to be like Christ, will surely see us through to the point where we can say, “My mind is yielded to Christ!” . You’re loved by God and myself! ❤️
