Ever have racing thoughts, your mind jumps for one topic to another...I can relate been there... Where do your thoughts come from??? The brain??? actually our brain is only the processing center for our thoughts.
Consider this scripture:
Mark 7:21 For from within, [that is] out of the hearts of men, come base and wicked thoughts, sexual immorality, stealing, murder, adultery,
The error free Holy Bible says our thoughts represent what is in our hearts... If love is in your heart, then love is in your thoughts.. and likewise if hate is in your heart.. hate is in your thoughts.. whatever is in your heart will be in your thoughts..
The heart of unregenerate mankind can be described concisely by this scripture:
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick! Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?
This seems to be a hopeless situation... BUT, not for you, not for the blood bought child of the Living GOD!!!
-- Ezek 36:26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Totally took away the old heart which was beyond repair and we have now a new heart AND a new spirit...The candle of the LORD and our life force..
It is called the Born Again Experience..
Phil 4:8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].
Sincerely Yours
Ormond
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
