Our mind is the gateway to our life. All these evil things come from within and defile the man.-Mark.7:23.
Until you conquer the thought, you can’t conquer the act. Every evil thought will degenerate into an evil act. If you can’t stop the thought, you can’t stop the act.
To repent means to rethink. You can’t come out of any unwanted habit without sitting down and reasoning (the prodigal son called himself to a meeting).
There is a place for prayer. But until you reason, you cannot repent. Out of the heart proceeds evil thoughts that graduate to evil acts.
According to Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.
Until you change the way you think, you cannot change the way you live.

ON INFLUENCING, PERSUADING AND COERCING

◇ EveryOne is at Different Stages of Consciousness.
There is a Certain Stage YOU!!! Reach when YOUR!!! Only Intent is to Speak YOUR!!! Truth and NOT!!! to Convince Others of It, instead Inviting Them to Come to Their Own Conclusions and Truths whether in Agreement with YOU!!! or NOT!!!
As YOUR!!! Vibration Rises YOU!!! Progress YOUR!!! Evolutionary Journey of Consciousness and Gradually Come to Realise that ALL Have THEIR!!! Own, Unique, Individual, Personal Path for THEM!!! to Follow.
Put Simply, YOU!!! Cannot Convince a Baby to Walk when it is at its Crawling Stage as Walking is YOUR!!! Truth and Crawling is the Babys Truth until it Starts Walking and then Running.
To Try to Convince Others of YOUR!!! Truths is an Exercise in FUTILITY!!! and Largely POINTLESS!!! because The Only Constant is CHANGE!!! and ALL of Us ARE Creatures of CHOICE!!! CHANGE!!! and DECISION!!!

Love the Emerson quote, making clear the impact of our thinking. 2 Corinthians 10:5 gives us wise advice about our thought-life also: “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” God is always ready to help us fight against negative, hurtful, sinful thinking. He wants us to live the guilt-free and joy-filled life centered in all His perfection!

🙂Thanks for this wonderful input, Nancy. Agreed. That scripture is one of my favorites. “God is always ready to help us fight against negative, harmful, sinful thinking. He wants us to live the guilt-free and joy-filled life centered in all His perfection.” I love that. I believe we can’t think of failure and arrive at success. It’s poverty thought that makes poverty. Everyone gets what they think. We must discipline our thoughts before we can make headway in life.

This message was one I really needed to hear right now. There are some thoughts I need to change, to ensure the action I take and the habits that I create from it are ones directed towards God’s will for me.
Thank you.
