The Fire of God - What is your focus? - Part 11
As you focus so your attentions follows....
*** Your heart becomes sensitive to whatever you focus your attention upon and your heart is hardened toward whatever you negate!
So hardness is to nullify or invalidate!
The following shows where the heart (thoughts) of most people are today...
Mark 7:20 - 23 (NIV)
20 He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them.
21 For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder,
22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person.”
Yet if you glorify, magnify and place a great value upon God; then you would put a greater priority upon the Lord and His Word. Then He would occupy more of your focus and attention rather that the other things in your life. If you start being more thankful, you will humble yourself and direct your attention away from the negative - destructive things and put more emphasis upon the positive blessed things...
This will place all your attention upon God and the good. Then you become sensitive to wherever you focus your attention! So when you glorify and thank God, your imagination will lead your heart to become sensitive toward God.
It is that easy .... Try it!
Otherwise if you are spend your time in the negative realm; listening to doubt, disbelief, fear, anger and the other negativity of the world! There is not any way for your heart to find the positive state of God. You can have knowledge but you do not allow it to set the position of your heart... Because you will become insensitive to the condition of your heart.
** Your imagination is where your thoughts take on power. So let it become the positive power of God in your heart and mind. Refuse to empower the negative, evil and your course will be positive and productive...
One of the main ways to do this is to learn to make decisions about certain things in your life; before being confronted by them later - then decision is already made....
No I will not do Drugs - Dope, nor will I steal, nor will I engage in adultery, or any homosexual sex or steal, lie or defile my body! {etc}
**Et cetera (in English; /ɛtˈsɛtərə/; Latin pronunciation: [ɛt ˈkeːtɛra]) (rare: etceteros) (abbreviation: etc.) is a Latin expression that means "and other things", or "and so forth". It is taken directly from the Latin expression which literally means "and the rest (of such things)" and is a loan-translation of the Greek "καὶ τὰ ἕτερα" (kai ta hetera: "and the other things"; the more usual Greek form is "καὶ τὰ λοιπά" kai ta loipa: "and the remainder"). Et means "and"; cētera means "the rest".
By making advance decisions make it easy to not fall into evil destructive events later.. I have learned this and used it to help me stay out of problem areas in my life...
Just learn that there are certain " No - do not go there areas in your life "
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That way you can control your thoughts and stop certain thoughts, and imaginations before they can enter your mind and become empowered. Just refuse to allow them any place in your mid... Then let peace rule!
" Let the peace of God rule in your hearts. " Colossians 3:15
Learn to determine your key life decisions before hand and thus not fall into many of the consequences of life later... I did!
