We have been talking about the mind. The mind is a horrible thing to waste. We need to be like Christ which means we need to have the mind of Christ. We need to as I talked about yesterday empty our minds and let God fill up our minds.
Empty our minds of all the worldly stuff and fill our minds with Christ!!!!
So now that we recapped, let's look at what we need to do after we empty our minds and let Christ fill them up.
If we empty our minds and leave it empty or if we empty our minds and fill it Christ and do nothing what will happen?
25 And when it comes, it finds the place swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in [the person] and live there; and the last state of that person becomes worse than the first.” Luke 11:25-27 AMP
If we leave and do nothing after we fill it up with Christ and as the verse says have it in order, you think the devil is going to say that is that, no he is going to bring more and more evil to do as John 10:10 says, 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]. John 10:10 AMP.
The devil does not want us to have the mind of Christ. The devil does not want us to pray and worship!!!
Humble our minds, our bodies, our soul+ Submit to God, and the devil flees+ draw near to God then he draws near to us= what we need to do is keep and have the mind of Christ.
6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded. James 4:6-8 ASV
I use the ASV Because I like the poetic of verse 8 which says, draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Draw nigh means to draw close.
