Retaining your Salvation through the Mind
Last night my sleep was unstable. I woke up numerous times throughout the night. The last time before actually getting up, I heard in my spirit, “Guard your mind cause in it are the issues of life”.
Salvation means deliverance, rescued, freed from a life of sin. “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind ….,” Romans 12:2. Salvation has caused this transformation and to retain it, we have to guard our minds. If we are to live for and serve God, our thoughts have to be subservient to God. The mind is the first factory we need to labor in, this determines our salvation.
Think of your mind this way: a famer sows seeds on his farm and does not take care of it. The weed, thorns and thistles take over because of neglect. How does this profit the farmerÉ The Bible calls this man slothful, Proverbs 24 :30-31. We have to careful of the issues of life that takes root in our minds. The first example given in the Bible of this is when man was defiled by the enemy, Genesis 3:1-5.
“Casting down imagination, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled,” 2 Corinthians 10:5-6. Guard your mind to retain your salvation.
God Bless.
