Romans 8:6
For to set the mind on the flesh is
death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.
I John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the
desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from
the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along
with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
There is
a mighty battle going on for control of your mind. Heaven and earth intersect
in your mind; the tugs of both spheres influence your thinking. I created you
with the capacity to experience foretastes of heaven. When you shut out the
world and focus on My Presence, you can enjoy sitting with Me in heavenly
realms. This is an incredible privilege reserved for precious ones who belong
to Me and seek My Face. Your greatest strength is your desire to spend time in
community with Me. As you concentrate on Me, My Spirit fills your mind
with Life and Peace. The world exerts a downward
pull on your thoughts. Media bombard you with greed, lust, and cynicism. When
you face these things, pray for protection and discernment. Stay in continual
communication with Me whenever you walk through the wastelands of this world.
Refuse to worry, because this form of worldliness will weigh you down and block
awareness of My Presence. Stay alert, recognizing the battle being waged
against your mind. Look forward to an eternity of strife-free living, reserved
for you in heaven.
and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Psalm 27:8
You have said, “Seek my face.”
My heart says to you,
“Your face, Lord, do I seek.”
