''The Achilles heel of man is his mind, since he is so prone to intellectual pride, especially in matters to do with religion.It was with unerring judgement about human vulnerability,therefore, that Satan blinded, not the
emotions,or the will,but the mind of man''[Paul Barnett][1 Corinthians 8 v1-2] One of the great and wonderful changes that come into our lives when we come to Christ,we begin to think different.No longer do we believe the lies of Satan,or society,we begin to have a new mind set.We begin to evaluate things differently,we see wonders of creation,we see the danger of riches,we who were once blind, now can see. Before we became a Christian our minds were full of sinful imaginations,these imaginations are strongholds.[2 Corinthians10 v5]In Romans 1 v16, we read that the gospel
of Christ is the power of God unto salvation,to everyone that believeth.
Writing to Christians at Corinth,Paul declares'' that the wicked shall not
inherit the Kingdom of God. Do not be deceived; Neither the sexually
immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers,nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves nor the greedy, nor drunkards nor slanders ,nor swindlers ''But he goes on to write that they had ceased from these things,when they trusted Christ[1 Corinthians 6 v9-11]Whatever bondage
we are in,Christ can deliver us from mind sets,that are destroying us.
A prayer.
Dear God we thank for Jesus your son,who died to forgive us,and to set us free,Amen.
