What is your mind full of today? Confidence, assurance and faith that you are loved by God and given a way to live in the victory Jesus paid the price for you to experience as a son/daughter of the Most High God or, are you full of fear, shame, guilt, remorse and negative self-talk! If you find yourself living in the latter scenario, you need a DETOX. You need a spiritual cleansing so you can receive a fresh new mental attitude that daily will propel you into the destiny that God desires for you. Ephesians 4:22-23 says, "And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new nature created in God's image." There was a price paid for us to have a new nature. God, through His exceeding precious promises, has seeds of greatness with your name on them as gifts that you must receive by faith.
It is a little bit like this. We live on a lake where our irrigation system is connected to the lake water... Every year we plant new grass seed and when it grows it looks so beautiful and well-manicured. But, inevitably after a bit of time, we get clumps of weeds from seeds coming from the lake water as well as airborne substances that land on the grass and get absorbed into the yard. Because of this, we pretty constantly have to uproot those weeds or we would have a yard full of course fast growing weeds that overtake the beautiful yard.
Our minds are like our yard. We need to Detox daily by pulling out negative "weeds" which come through being around negative people or maybe wrong decisions we have made are weighing on our minds and we are carrying around the ongoing pressures that are causing us to live a fear-based life rather than a faith-based life. Jesus said He came for the purpose of setting captive people free so they can experience peace filled minds and to liberate those that have been bruised so victorious living can be the end result.
Realize that a daily thought check can help you maintain a fresh mental attitude and keep you heading in the right direction!
