Dear Friends,
I’m being blessed by this sermon series, the power of words. Words are indeed powerful, for they are fueled by the same breath of life that was given to us by God. But before words are formed, in that split second before they come out of our mouths, they were first a thought. The battle ground for our minds is ongoing from cradle to grave. I find that the more I surround myself with God’s people, God’s beauty, God’s word and God’s music, the easier it is for my mind to have holy, righteous and spirit-filled thoughts. May God bless you as you give your mind to Him in all things. Peace and Love, Scott

Let Me Control Your Mind. The mind is the most restless, unruly part of mankind. Long after you have learned the discipline of holding your tongue, your thoughts defy your will and set themselves up against Me. Man is the pinnacle of My creation, and the human mind is wondrously complex. I risk all by granting you freedom to think for yourself. This is godlike privilege, forever setting you apart from animals and robots. I made you in My image, precariously close to deity.
Though My blood has fully redeemed you, your mind is the last bastion of rebellion. Open yourself to my radiant Presence, letting My Light permeate your thinking. When My Spirit is controlling your mind, your are filled with Life and Peace.
Genesis 1:26-27 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Romans 8:6 6The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.
