Guard Your Mind Part II

June 25th, 2009

Don’t take wrong thoughts by speaking them (Matthew 6:25-31). When you speak the negative suggestions of the enemy, it is as if you sign for a package that is delivered to you. You don’t have to speak every thought that comes to your mind. Your mouth sets your course in life. Cast down thoughts by speaking the Word of God. Many Christians blame God or the devil for the strongholds they have developed, but we all have the responsibility to not allow evil thoughts to remain in our minds. Be mindful of the words you speak.

To guard your mind, you must first guard your heart (Matthew 15:19). There are three entrances to the heart: the eyes, the ears and the mouth. Your heart is the ground that will produce the “word seed” you plant, whether negative or positive. Words have the potential to produce a harvest in your life (Proverbs 4:20-27).
The law of receiving says that anything that enters your heart in abundance will overwhelm and overcome your life when acted upon. The right seed will grow the right harvest. The words you have allowed in your heart have produced the issues you are dealing with now.

To see answers to your prayers, you need to guard your mind (Philippians 4:8).
Consider these questions:
a. In what type of environment do you live? Your environment shapes the way you think.
b. What do you do in your free time?
c. Who are your closest friends? The people you associate with the most will have a strong impact on your life.

Close the door to negative thoughts by not allowing anything to speak into your mind.
