Colossians 3:2
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth”
Beloved,
How can you keep your mind and heart? How can you guard against time and space wasting imaginations? Clear your mind! Be careful of your intake and per adventure you have already exposed yourself to conversations, music, or other media that have sparked negative and space wasting thoughts in your mind and never lead to anything productive, clean your mind with the cleansing and purifying blood of Jesus. Exercise your Christian authority to bind any devil that is messing with your mind (2 Corinthians 10:4).
Next, set your mind and heart on the things of God, especially the word of the Lord. Read your Bible. Fill your environment with worship and fill your mouth with His praises. You cannot fight negative and unwanted thoughts with more thoughts. You must fight with your words echoing the word of God. Tailor your confession and meditation to the word of God. Be intentional about confessing God’s Word as your truth all throughout the day. This will help you to meditate on His word. This will combat the return of negative thoughts. Once you have cast out the negative, you have to fill the space with what will keep such negative thoughts from returning with full force. When you drive out the worldly thoughts that have been crowding your mind and keep them out by your habitual confession and meditation on the word of God and your covenant with Him, you make room for the mind of Christ to prevail in Your life. Beloved, take time and declutter your mind for more productive thinking.
I commit you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you NATIONS. I call you blessed.
