“Everything that we do in our lives always goes back to our minds..Amen..I mean considering the way we react in situations..to the way we speak to others..to the way we go forth in our lives..literally to everything that we do..it always starts in that mind of ours..for you see the word of God says that as a man thinks so is he..Proverbs 23:7..and out from the abundance of our hearts our mouths speak..Luke 6:45..so I always try my best to tell others and of course myself included to take time to refresh and renew your mind..clean out all that mess that this ole world and that ole devil tries to clutter up our minds with..because if we don’t we stay stuck in that old mindset..and them old ways..and when we do that we only remain..we don’t grow..we don’t move forward..we don’t forgive..we don’t let go..literally we just live there in them old ways..and we live there with them old mindsets..and there we stay..PERIOD!!”…and that guys is no place for us as children of the Lord to stay..Amen..for God wants us to grow..and yes we face things..and yes we go through things..but as well we grow up in the adversity..we change and mature through the hurts and the pains..kinda of like labor pains..but afterwards it yields a beautiful gift for us to treasure..the same with our lives and what happens in them..it makes us more compassionate and more understanding of others..for we all sin and have sinned and fallen short from the glory of God..Romans 3:23..do we willfully sin?..Hebrews 10:26..absolutely not..for the word says to be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect..Matthew 5:48..for you see for us to do just willfully sin is wrong on our part..so once again we have to help ourselves by helping ourselves..and we do that daily by them choices and them decisions it is that we ourselves make..and we do that by feasting and eating on them good things of life..spiritually speaking here guys..we do that by guarding our hearts..and our minds..we do that by reading the word of God..by listening to good wholesome praise and worship songs..we do that by casting down them thoughts and imaginations that try to come and exalt themselves against the knowledge of our Lord..2 Corinthians 10:5..so today start right now changing that old mindset..do that by renewing your mind..as the word says..be ye not transformed to the ways of this world but to be ye renewed that you may prove what it that good and perfect acceptable will of God..Romans 12:2..for you see the Lord has made us wiser than the enemy..Psalm 119:98..so don’t grab the bait that he tries to throw your way..don’t have a miserable day from what happened to you 20 years ago..Amen..for you see today is our gift..this day that we’re in right now..so let us all make the best of it..let us all have a wonderful day in the Lord..let us go forth shining like diamonds in the sky for all to see..sharing and spreading the gospel of our Lord..for today is a brand new day so let us all rejoice and be glad in it..Psalm 118:24..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
