Today's message talked about how we need to constantly remember that there is a war waging for our minds. Our minds are the reason we do what we do and restrain from other things. As it says, we are always bombarded by the media's view of what is right or acceptable and many times it is in direct violation of God's law. The effects of the "wastelands of this world" are seen all throughout the news and daily life. You don't have to look far to see someone not doing what is right. We need to safeguard our minds against these influences by staying in constant communion with Christ. When we hit those mountain top moments, we are experiencing a taste of Heaven. It's too bad we can't feel that way all the time. But when we stay focused on him and set our minds on his will, we can look forward to our next lives with Him.
Ephesians 2:6 "For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ."
Psalm 27:8 "My heart has heard you say 'Come and talk with me.' And my heart responds, 'Lord, I am coming.'"
Romans 8:6 "So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace."
1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the lover of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever."
