21st century, we are overwhelmed by a massive demand for information. Too long to absorb content from the most varied sources and authors that we don’t even know for sure who they are. To make known all kinds of products and services that generate desires for things that we don’t even need. A massive attack of ideas, full of useless information.
I don’t know if it’s the same as me, but as I drive from one point in the city to another, my eyes become insatiable and I read absolutely everything that goes through my viewing angle. behind a bus at a closed traffic light, my eyes come and go in the giant letters written on the back of the vehicle in front of me. I don’t need to think about what I’m reading, is it an autopilot?but even if it’s automatic, my mind records some information. And the fact is, there’s too much information collected on a normal day, but we don’t even realize how toxic it is. At home or in the office, in the gym or in the park, wherever you are, we are invaded by silent codes that permeate our minds.
- How can we empty our minds and not allow the waste we absorb to be part of our thinking and empty in our hearts?.
We cannot leave the mind empty, our thoughts are an active part of our mind, they do not stop, they are constant.
If there is no way to draw thoughts out of our minds, we must replace them with new thoughts, it is necessary to renew our minds with thoughts shaped by the Holy Spirit in the spirit of Christ.
Sheep, in a sincere conversation, would tell you that we must occupy the mind with thoughts that bring us the joy of living, that give us the strength to continue walking in this fiery desert of lies.
We cannot believe the lies that the world has told us and we still believe that we can live well in the midst of the afflictions of life. What strategy will your mind be able to operate on the wrong day if we have fed you inappropriate food?
The only answer we have for this is: take care of your mind and feed it to the truth.
If we are drenched in the thought of the world, we will sink into the despair of comparison, the shame of envy, the curse of dilation. Don’t fall into the trap, change your mind every day, reinforce your beliefs and repel everything. the patterns of the world that poison the mind.
Your imagination feeds on what you see, what you hear, what you read
Changing diets leads to changes in your mind. You can’t believe that keeping your diet of junk food [i] will result in a different outcome than what’s happened: tormented thoughts.
If we expect a new outcome, we must invest in a new action. When there is a desire to change the pattern of thinking of others that is clear, right, you will have to change the diet of your mind.
When I change diet, I start with a plan of what I’m going to eat during the week, after setting the menu, I go shopping, I usually buy the food in a trusted place where the food is selected and diversified, and then I prepare the meals to eat healthily.
If I plan a detox diet, I will make sure that an effective process of removing toxins from my body is carried out.
Therefore, we must do with our thoughts, a cure for effective detoxification to remove the world’s lies from our minds and place new and living thoughts that come from the Truth.
Really sanctifie them, their word is true. John 17:17
Just as we choose physical food, we must choose to eat well spiritually. The Word of God, of which we know the author, is sufficient for food, because we know that it is infallible and empowers us for all good works.
Renewing the spirit frees us from lies, reminds us of the precious promises of life here and eternal life. Besides educating us, directing us and correcting us, it’s very good!
“Isn’t my word fire, ” said the Lord, “and a hammer that breaks the wood?”Jeremiah 23. 29
Renewing our thoughts is as necessary as cleaning our body, we need a daily repetition.
When we have very dirty clothes, impregnated with dirt, we soak it for a while in soap, our mind also needs to be immersed for a while in Christ’s mind to get rid of toxins.
The detoxification of the mind should be daily, because every day our mind is bombarded with garbage, and let’s be sensitive, you don’t go to bed without taking a shower to get rid of the dust of the day and put on your pajamas. Similarly, your mind should not be neglected, as it is no less important.
Then, when your thoughts are in the storms of the world, let the Word of God crush each of them until they become dust and are transformed by the spirit of Christ!
Go ahead, sheep!
