What's On Your Mind?

Have you ever took a moment to just think?
What's going on in your mind right now?
Are you thinking about your job, your school work, your kids, the game that was on t.v. last night, what you're going to cook for dinner tonight, what you're going to have for lunch today? Really, what's going on in your mind?
A Mind is a Terrible Thing To Waste, is a slogan that was used in the Ad Council for the United Negro College Fund, back in 1972.
Today, 37 years later, this popular slogan is still used for various situations and organizations. There is power in those eight words. When you break down these eight words, you see that God is giving you a confirmation that He does not want your life to be idle. He does not want you to sit around doing nothing, but He wants you to carry out the plan that He has for your life.

A Mind
1Corinthians 1:10(nlt)
Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won't be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, in thought and purpose.
Working together on one accord, no matter what you are going through. God's desire is to see His children moving in the plan that He has for their lives. This is done by using your mind, by sitting and listening to the voice of God, and finding out from Him what He wants you to do in order to become unified with His plan.
God does not want you to have a mind of fear, but of love, power and discipline which comes directly from His Holy Spirit. By carrying out these three things, you will have a sensible and sound mind to carry out the Word that says;
2Timothy 1:7 (nkjv)
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Is A Terrible Thing
Joel 2:31(nlt)
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon will turn bloodred before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.
A mind can really battle something terrible!
You can sit and battle over something in your mind that has no real purpose in life or has already been worked out by God. So get up and do the work of the Lord!
The enemy can hold your mind captive for as long as you allow him, and he will place things inside of your head that may have no real relevance to your live. When you sit and let your mind wonder, without putting God in the midst of it, this will allow the devil to have playtime with your mind. This is his time to show you all of your faults and blame you for all of the wrongs in your life.

To Waste
Revelation 3:2 (nlt)
Now wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is at the point of death. Your deeds are far from right in the sight of God.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste!
God has blessed each and every one of us with a clear and sound mind. A clean conscience and a pure heart. It's when you allow an unpleasant feeling, thought and voice to come into your mind and begin corruption.
Allow your thoughts to be refreshed always with the word of God. Let the Holy Spirit take control of the things that go into your head, because remember, your mind is like a filter to your heart and it leaks out of your mouth.
The things of your mind and heart can either poison or bring forth fruit!
Use your spiritual weapon, which is the word of God, to break down the thoughts that causes your mind to be wasted. Hold every thought captive and make them accountable to the word. (2Corinthians 10:5nlt)
Do this by combating negative with positive.
"But I can't!" Respond with the word that says, "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." (Philippians 4:13nkjv)
"I know that God will never forgive me for what I have done!" respond with the word that says, "Your sins have been forgiven because of Jesus." (1John 2:12nlt)
