The Mind Is The Key

Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.

Many people take strong objection to the story of creation. They believe the universe and everything in it just happened because it wanted to, or some accident caused it.

If you look at the world you live in, do you think it makes sense that all of the trillions of trillions of cells that are in everything, and each with its own function, came about by chance?

When people judge God by what He can or cannot do they always compare us to God. If we can’t do something, then we assume that God can’t either. Our mind tells us that.

Romans 8:6-7,  to set the mind on the flesh is death but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed cannot.

2 Timothy 3:16-17, All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

When anyone decides with a closed or emotional mind it is almost always wrong, and disastrous consequences follow. If we continue in that way, we will lose more than we think.

2 Corinthians 4:4, In their case the God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18, For the word of the Cross is folly to those who are perishing but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

So, what is the answer? Come to the Lord Jesus Christ. Think of this example. An architect designs a house or building. He then gets laborers to build according to his plan. If the laborers faithfully stick to the plan the designer’s plan comes to life and people recognize the designer as being very good at what he does, and everyone wants to hire him.

Our problem is our minds. As to the example above, if the laborers didn’t follow the plans, disaster would follow.

Our designer is the Lord God Almighty. His plan is the Bible, and we are the laborers. We must follow the plans, making decisions based on what the plan says.

Our Spirits must control our minds. Our Spirits receive messages from the Holy Spirit all the time. Not sure? Ask the Holy Spirit in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Almighty God wrote the plans and gave us tools to work on our Heavenly home that the Lord Jesus Christ promised us. Never forget that your mind makes choices, let those choices be controlled by our Lord Jesus Christ. He will put in your heart what you should do. You must make up your mind to do it regardless of what you personally think. God bless you and your family. 

Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again in order to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and I Repent of those sins, and I ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
