Sins of the Mind


Believers often justify themselves and they say that they have not done this or the other sin but they forget that with their minds they have been dwelling where they should not have been. They have been in their minds doing things that God hates. They have been fornicating in their minds, in their minds they hated other people, they killed other people, in their mind. Maybe not physically but in their mind but God knows our heart. If we fornicate with our mind then we are already guilty as Jesus also said in  Matthew 5:27-29 “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY’; 28but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29“And if your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out, and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.” Many people say I am not an adulterer but in his heart he has committed adultery.
Are you faithful to Jesus? Is your mind always set on Christ or do you allow your mind to carry you away because God knows our heart, He knows our mind. We must stay focused on Jesus and pray continuously so that we can overcome and stay faithful to Him or else even our mind will carry us away and cause us to sin as Jesus also warned His disciples. I read from Matthew 26:41 "Keep watching and praying, that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
 Are you faithful to Jesus all the time? Is your mind set on Him? Do you truly love Him because He knows our hearts? We must stay focused on Him keep on watching and praying that we fall not into temptation.
May Jesus bless you.
