SOMETIMES THOUGHTLESS IS A BETTER MINDSET

THIS LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS! I admit sometimes I’d like to be thoughtless as well. “For be sure of this: that no person practicing sexual vice or impurity in thought or in life, or one who is covetous [who has lustful desire for the property of others and is greedy for gain]– for he [in effect] is an idolater–has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ “IN THOUGHT OR IN LIFE” When I read these words they hit me hard - right between the eyes of my heart. I have a wandering mind. Sometimes it wanders to restricted areas. It’s a constant battle. The only answer to the affliction of illicit thoughts entering my mind is God’s Word. We all have a past life that we need to be healed and delivered from. Delivered means we stop engaging in the destructive thoughts or actions we were doing. We will continue to have problems if we rely only on deliverance and never get healed. Deliverance stops the habit, but healing removes the cause of the habit. Martin Luther was a famous dude who said something like this: “Thoughts are like birds. They will come and land in your head. Don’t let them make a nest.” When your thoughts begin to run amiss and afoul of the purity of God’s Love, act immediately. Open His Word and divert the flow of your thoughts into Living Waters. Allowing immoral thoughts to flow freely will lead to a tidal wave of sin and a mindflood that separates you from God. Renew your mind in Christ. Thanks for your time. Go do something nice for somebody. Jesus loves you and so do we. #thinkChrist #openGodsWord #ywap4Truth #ywap4God #JLYASDW
