MIND MATTERS




















S.E.E.D. For Today____Thought Life

Scripture "And now dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right and pure and lovely and admirable. Think about these things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 NLT

The mind is made up of a mass per se of matter. It is the heart and soul of human beings. It's the central station that operates the body, it's like a head quarters that sends messages to it's constituents on what they should be doing. Its the part of us that thinks, reasons, remembers, our understanding and feelings. The aspects of how we perform are synchronized into this one element of the body in the compartment called the brain. What occupies your mind, many of us daily release our thought life on social media. We wake up turn on the phone and facebook asks you what's on your mind. Paul was listing things in this letter to the Philippians of the things that should occupy their minds. The mind matters, it can count for God when saturated with His standard, His Word shows is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and of a good report. We are to fill the thought life with whatever is of value and praise to God. Mark Twain wrote that a person's real life is in the head and is known to none but himself. All day long, the mill of a person's brain is grinding, and the thoughts are a person's history. What is your thought life, it matters to God and it should matter to you. Fix your thought on what is true, dismiss everything else that challenges the report God has published for your life.

Example Thought is the process of mental activity, ideas or notions, opinions, that what is formed in our mind, the process of thinking.

Exercise Read Philippians 4:4-8 Journal and Talk to God

Devotion Lord I pray for my thought life. What is on my mind? Your Word says that if I keep my mind on You that You will give my mind the peace and rest that my natural thoughts can't provide. I pray that I will fix my thoughts on what is true and right, pure and lovely, positive that have value and meaning, casting down every thought that comes to exalt itself above Your truth. I bring my mind under the submission of the Word of God that I may please and honor You in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
