COMBATING THOUGHT CONTROL!


COMBATING THOUGHT CONTROL!

Rom 12:2
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Rom 8:6-7
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

           Why are we so angry? Why is our collective spirits so unsettled? It is because we are being trained to become a thoughtless mob! Every waking – and some sleeping – moments are being programmed by some device. The sounds of a gentle wind or the soft splashing of a nearby brook have been replaced with an electronic buzz.

           We loathe the quiet but it is just that quiet we need. We are spirit beings encased in fleshly hardware. One day that hardware will fall away but we will continue to be spirit beings. It makes sense to do proper spirit maintenance.

           Spend less time with your devices and more time with your friends. I haven’t even mentioned spending more time in prayer because that is foundational. Put down your phone and have a real – eye to eye – conversation. It will amaze you. Better yet, find a place of solitude and quiet and allow yourself to hear the still small voice of God.

Dear Lord, help me to eliminate the angry noise so that I may hear and enjoy your voice. AMEN
