Chapter 1
ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, WORDS, IMAGINATION, YOUR WORST ENEMY?
Our thoughts, words and imagination can be our worst enemy. It is the root to causing a good or bad situation to occur. Our life is lived out through our thoughts and words. Our thoughts are as powerful as the words we say. Our thoughts can deceive us and the words we say can be deceiving. There is a warfare going on in our mind. The battle is in our thoughts, not with one another. Our mind is like a computer it stores, retrieves, and processes everything we put in it. Our mind has no limits on what it is capable of imagining. Our positive and negative thoughts fights against one another. Most of the things people think and speak they bring to existence. Wicked behavior would not have an existence if people did not think, speak and imagine doing evil. Our body language and face expression tells others what we are thinking and feeling. The mind can think the worst of a person and situation before it thinks good about them. The mind can be easily trained and deceived by anyone. We train and deceive one another’s mind everyday. Everything we think and speak negative about our own and someone’s life can affect them and us.
When we put ourselves into a situation to make a decision there is always going to be a thought (voice) in our head telling us what to do and not. The outcome of our situation is determined by which thought (voice) we choose to listen to. Most people second guess their relationship, feelings and choices. There is nothing we can do good or bad without making a choice to do it. Our subconscious tells us not to drive drunk, go down that street or have sex with her or him. The voice of reasoning is a warning. It can come at anytime to save our life if we listen to it. This young man was going to take the train to work, but a voice in his head said take the car today. As he was driving to work he heard on the radio the train he was going to take derailed. This young man heard a voice in his head say skip going to the club tonight, but another voice said go out. The young man decided to go out and got into a car accident. Everyone in the vehicle lived but him. This young lady set her drink down at a party to go dance. When she came back to her drink a voice in her head said do not drink it. Her friend picked the drink up and before she could say something her friend drunk it. About ten minutes after the drink her friend passed out. Come to find out the drink was spiked with a rape drug. Most people think about what they are about to do before they do it. Sleeping with someone’s spouse does not just happen. Everyone has more than enough time to listen to the voice of reasoning before they kill, lie and cheat. It is a conscious decision that one makes to do wrong or right. When we do not think twice about hurting someone there is a problem with our conscious. It shows we do not care about ourselves and who we hurt in the process. Another thing it shows is we do not fear God of what He can do to us. There are many relationships destroyed, because someone did not care to use their conscious. Growing up with morals and values help us make a conscious decision to do right by ourselves and others. Anytime our mind tells us not to do what we’re about to we should always heed to it. If there be any confusion about what choice to make in a situation then it maybe something we should not be doing. Remember, God is not of confusion in the mind. God spiritually enlightens us to do the right thing and the Devil does the opposite.
Thoughts and words such as, I want a divorce, I am ugly and I want to die are some of the negative things we think and say to ourselves and others. We can speak into our situation or relationship, life or death. Our thoughts and words, good and bad can manifest itself. This is how powerful our thoughts and words are. Have you ever joked about something happening and it came true? It is like that saying be careful of what you wish for and say. Some people get what they ask for, but it is not what they wanted to happen. If we speak positive, but our thoughts are negative then the outcome of our situation will be determine by this. Positive thoughts about your situation and self overpowers negativity and confusion. Positive thinking gives you confidence and reassurance in yourself and situation. If you think you have the job, but say out of your mouth you do not. This would be of confusion. We cannot think negative and speak positive and expect a good outcome. We cannot be both. Everyone is capable of speaking and thinking positive about their situation and life. If our mind is not positive then it is negative. There is no in between.
Dominantly, everything we use good and bad are from someone’s imagination and brought to existence. Everything in the world that we use, we give it the power. Nuclear bombs are from someone’s imagination and brought to existence. It did not create itself and it cannot be activated unless man gives it the power. The games for playstation was from someone’s imagination. We give the characters in these games the power. Money has the power that it has because we gave it the power. Money cannot use itself. We make money work for us. Some people may not have a wicked imagination, but once in awhile have wicked thoughts come into their mind about something or someone. These people maybe angry at the time to have wicked thoughts. But, there are people who wake up and go to sleep imagining evil. We’re not only what we eat, we’re what we think. We can always cast out our wicked thoughts about someone or something. But, once we have brought our wicked thoughts to existence there is no turning back. To imagine murdering someone is wicked, but to bring murder to existence is evil and a sin. It’s wicked to imagine what a polar bear and rabbit DNA together would look like, but to bring it to existence is an abomination to God. Now, imagine God’s judgement for men who imagine wicked devices then bring them to existence.
We would not have so many hurtful thoughts in our mind if our heart did not get broken through life. Our heart will focus more on the bad things that happened to us than the good. Our heart is a for sure muscle that can be manipulated, broken and changed. We have to guard our heart with all diligence, because out of our heart will come the issues of life. What someone did and said to us is hard to forget, but can be forgiven. People have allowed the issues of life to cause them strokes, heart attacks and headaches. Holding on to what someone said and did to us is too much strain on the brain and heart. We have to forgive in order to live. God said “be renewed in our spirit and mind.” We have to renew our mind, spirit and heart with positive things everyday we live. We can be the cause of our own confusion in our life. We cannot partake and be of confusion. We have to get away from confusion. We have to cleanse our heart and mind of all evil thinking about someone or something. Evil will not have no partake in our heart and mind if we resist evil. Remember, God judges the heart of man. What a man think is in his heart. The Devil has been using us through our mind since Adam and Eve. The Devil will always remind us of our past and he uses the closest people to us to remind us of our past. Our past is not in our future and neither are the people who remind us of our past. The only way the Devil can get to our heart is through our mind. Once we renew our mind the Devil will not be able to get to our heart.
Most people lean on their own understanding. When people lean on their own understanding the issue becomes complicated and they make bad decisions. People who go on their own understanding are steadfast on what they believe in that they know nothing about. They live their life seeing things only one way. They have the same arrogance that got Lucifer kicked out of Heaven. We have to ask God for wisdom and knowledge to obtain understanding of all things that are processed through our mind. Once we have the understanding, we will make better decisions. Many people are in jail, dead, have killed and stole from leaning on their own understanding. They were steadfast on what they believe they had to do. Everything is worth taking a second thought or look, whether it’s religion, money, revenge, a man or woman. Adam and Eve leaned on their own understanding when they ate off the tree. Eve only
