Cluttered Minds

Friend, the world is busy filling our minds with sights, sounds, feelings, causing lust, sloth, anxiety, worry, depression, mental illness, physical ailments, of mind, body, soul and spirit.

To alleviate the overwhelming thoughts, the addictions, the cravings that all come from a disordered life, we fill our bodies and minds with the world's offerings.

We love to research, to discover new information, to seek out goods and services we think will occupy our time wisely and in ways that fulfil our desires.

Yet, still after years we are not satisfied, and we are not fulfilled, even in the slightest ways; we need to continue to hoard, to drink to excess, to increasingly delve into deeper and darker secret ways to satisfy our lust; for whatever it is we have chosen.

We hide behind all these activities saying to ourselves that we are very busy; we're occupied in this thing that has a stranglehold on us, and we have no time to share ourselves with others; like family.

We find fault with them and others, but not ourselves.

They're the ones. They have in many ways caused this ugly thing we are engrossed with; we believe!

No! It is a choice we made all by ourself. 

There may have been encouragement but we, ultimately knowing, it wasn't going to be good; for we do know our self; chose to do such and such!

Now, at our wit's end, we find our mind so full; so cluttered that we are glued to a spot and can't get unstuck.

We got our self to this point by choosing, and the only one who can help us is Jesus, Who died for that sinful situation we chose, to be conquered in us.

He went to the Cross knowing we would have this episode in our life; before we were even born. 

He sees all the possibilities of what the future may be for every soul He agrees may come into the earth realm; and what the future can be for us as well, if we allow Him to lead the Way out.

In Him we can overcome and have great victory and triumph over every sinful choice we have previously made.

We don't have to be trapped, anchored down, drowning in our sins.

He will give us clarity of mind. He will get rid of all the sins by His Holy Spirit conviction to our mind and heart; that the vice is wrong and needs to go, if we will allow Him to do so.

We must choose Him because He first chose us; and on The Cross, He proves that.

It is a necessary thing for us to forgo sinful behaviours when we receive His Forgiveness; for He is not coming back to pay for them again. In His Second Coming to the earth, He is coming as a Conquering King to take charge of the earth.

Satan's time will be up for this section of his sentencing.

Fill your mind with His Word, so that His Spirit can use Holy Words when speaking to you. This is how you will know it is of God when in your inner heart you hear His Word to you.

It could be as simple as, "My Grace is sufficient for you," when you are faced with a dilemma. 2 Corithians 12:9a

Don't worry, your mind will not be empty because all the clutter is swept away. No you will have room for beautiful Truth and Wisdom to fill all those spaces.

You will be a happier person in your soul and spirit no matter if the circumstances/consequences of a sinfilled existence in your flesh remain.
