What Are You Thinking?

Romans 8:5-6 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The battle for our minds is alive and well. Our downfall or victory starts with our thinking. When we entertain the thoughts demons put in our minds, they eventually manifest in our actions. That is why God tells us to renew our minds in Romans 12. What we put into our minds about who God is, who we are, and what God is able to do in our lives, based on His Word, is what leads us to victory. When we stumble, it is God's Word and our time with Him that leads us back to Him. He promised that if we confess our sins, He's faithful & just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 Jn 1 & 2). The enemies doesn't want us to believe that truth, so that they can keep us away from God with our guilt and false thinking. Just as Jesus used the Word of God against Satan, so we too must use the Sword of the Spirit to lead us closer to God, and give us victory over the devils' attacks.

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Rom 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive Him and His free gift of salvation today (Rom 10:13).
