LESSON #12: MIND CONTROL

from the series ""The Greatest Lessons ever Learnt"

(based on a personal compilation about life).

Terry-Ann Scott

Do you have control of your mind? Thousand of thoughts travel throughout our minds on a daily basis and this happens so frequently that we may not recognize the sequence of our thought process. If this is treated slightly, we become exposed to elements that may endanger us.

The bible reveals that the mind is a battle ground for the believers. If the devil can get you to think a particular way or to believe his lies, then he has already caught you. Every thought comes from somewhere, and this is one way the devil tries to attack us, through our thinking. This is why Paul tells us clearly to be transformed by the renewing of our mind and Peter exhorts us furthur to gird up the loins of our mind.

If we fail to control our thought life or our thought pattern, we will ultimately become susceptible and even victims of our own thoughts. Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits become, character and character forms destiny. Anything you think, you will believe and anything you believe you will do or become.

Our minds are very powerful and this is why we must ensure we have full control of it as it can either work for us or against us. Phillipians 4:8 tells us how to think; think on things that is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, and the writer sums it up by saying, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. We have to learn to bring every thought captive to the obedience of Christ according to 2 Corinthians 10, because not every thought is our thouht. It is the plan of the devil to get us to think that his thoughts are ours, so we may become captive to it.

If you find it difficult to focus or to concentrate on anything or if you are aware that your mind strays easily, that may be the result of poor mind control or the lack thereof.

I'll leave you with one question. If you are not in control of your mind but it is actively working without your awareness (you later discovers this), then who is?

Gain full control of your mind and protect yourself from these elements of danger because if you are not in control. something or someone else is.
