Purified Mind

 

    Every word that you store in your mental closet is used one way or another.  The narrative is lived out whether the information is true, fateful, hurtful, clean, true, or life-giving.  This is why you need to do a deep clean with God on what you are storing in your mental closet.  What can you ask God to remove from your thought process or forefront memory?

    It takes work, a lot of work for some, to clean out their mental closet.  You have to decipher what is true and what is a lie.  The more lies you remove, the more the truth becomes apparent.  Is there room for Jesus in your mind?  Or have you crammed it so full of nothingness that you don't have any room for him?

    Purifying your mental closet is removing one lie at a time.  Once you have space for the Holy Spirit to really get in there it starts happening very quickly.  Your mind becomes majestic, noble, and disciplined.  It hold value in the truth so you live a life of integrity.  

    Do not allow anything to pollute your mental closet or your self-esteem and self-worth is what will suffer.  Instead conform your mind to be pure.  Transform your thoughts to be able to forgive, love, be generous, honor and glorify God, and serve your purpose without confusion.  Infuse your mind with the truth to fortify it.

    It is not abut all the good things you can do.  It is about having a real relationship with your creator.  The Holy Spirit helps make that easier.  A purified mind makes it clear.  Pollution in your mind only causes confusion and indicates that you need healing from the root that causes you to sin.  A polluted mind will live a hypocritic lifestyle that can't serve God the way it was meant.

    Where do you struggle?  What do you need to face to clean out your mental closet?  What is keeping you from living a life of integrity?  God is the only one who can purify you.  It starts with faith, but continues in your mind.  

    The Holy Spirit speaks through your conscience.  If your mental closet is so polluted, then you will not be able to hear clearly.  He will not yell at you.  It also leaves you vulnerable to Satan to sneak in and distort the truth.  Do not live a double minded life.  It is exhausting and will tear you up inside.  Have what is going on inside of you match what you portray to the world.  Don't give Satan the power to unravel you.  Authentic freedom comes from accepting the truth and trying to live it.
