WHAT IS CONTROLLING YOUR MIND?

Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. (Romans 8:5-8 NLT)

Are you dominated by your sinful nature? If so, you really need a spiritual overhauling. Else, your entire life will be destroyed. 

We need to move into the paradigm of being dominated by the spirit of Christ, who alone can lead us in the right direction.

How to get out of the dominance of the sinful nature?

1. You should remember, as long us we live in this world, there will be a constant struggle between our flesh(sinful nature) and the spirit.

2. So, wilfully and consciously commit yourself to God and surrender your life totally to His control.

3. Believe in the Holy Spirit. Trust Him and follow / obey His instructions no matter how simple or silly it looks. Obedience to the Holy Spirit is the key to stay away from troubles.

4. Constantly feed yourself with the healthy food which is a desperate need for your inner-man. God's word is the best and foremost healthy food u can eat. The supplements can be the spiritual songs, messages, magazines, articles, godly fellowships,  etc...

5. Run away from the Junk that corrupts your mind and erode your spiritual values and growth, even without your knowledge. Eg, unwanted gossip, worldly entertainments that will slowly induce lust without your knowledge, contradictory write ups, unhealthy arguments, sedentary lifestyle etc..

6.There is no replacement for the personal time with God. More the time we spend with Him, more our inner transformation to be like Him will be. 

The world needs good Role-models. You are called and chosen to be a Godly Role-model. 

This is possible only when you are controlled by the Holy Spirit. Say 'NO' to the sinful nature and 'YES' to the Holy Spirit. You will surely be a success. May God bless you.
