THE MIND OF CHRIST SUSTAINING YOUR MIND

August 1

eloved of God, do you have a problem with forgetfulness? Do you worry that you may be slipping in your mind? One of the greatest services that your Father in Heaven does for you is to guard your mind and bless you in your thinking! If you fear and worry about the way your mind works, or seems to slip, at times, this very worry, and fear will invite the Evil One to attack you and devise ways to add more fear and anxiety to your life, saying to you: "see, there is further proof that you are losing your mind, where is your God now!" You may have a bad report about your mind from the doctor. However, to the Christian who trusts his/her God with their entire life, you must remember that in the “stripes” of Jesus there is healing for your--- mind, body and soul. This is His promise to you. Regardless of any report, or only if you think that your mind is slipping, you must place the words of God's promises ahead of any fear. He says, "For God hath not given thee the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." (II Timothy 1:7) It would be healthier for you to place yourself in line with the promises of the Lord God than to bow down to fear! Beloved, even if a Christian were to completely lose the powers of their conscious mind, the Lord God will preserve and bless and cover that Child of God, presenting them to the Father in their difficult condition. They are the same person that they were when they first committed their hearts and lives to the Lord Jesus Christ! This is important for those of you who have mothers and fathers with difficulties with their thinking. Also, your mind is like a tape recorder. Many elderlies who have troubles with their minds will at times say some very bad things! In the brain is recorded all overheard conversations. These expressions are not from their heart, simply from their memories. Rejoice, your Father will keep and preserve all His children until the day of rewards in heaven!
