Have you ever tried to reason with someone and point out to them that their actions are wrong, and in the process of the conversation had that person tell you that the only person they are hurting is themselves, so you have no right to tell them anything? I have. Did you have an adequate answer for that person? At first I didn’t, but since then God gave me some insights into His Word which really brings a different perspective to that statement.
Why was it that God destroyed the earth in the days of Noah? Think about it. Genesis 6:5-8 reads, “5 Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.”
What was it that caused God to destroy mankind? It was not because their actions were continually evil, but because the thoughts of man’s heart were continually evil. The scriptures tell us over and over again that if we allow sinful thoughts to linger in our minds then God will not listen to our prayers, and Jesus said that the pure in heart would be blessed because they would see God.
Don’t ever let the devil convince you that it’s okay to think about sin just so long as you don’t actually do it. God destroyed the earth because the thoughts of man were continually evil. If you allow sinful thoughts into your mind then God’s Holy Spirit will not be at home there and you will not enjoy being led by Him or having your life filled with His power.
How do you get victory of your thoughts? Memorize God’s Word and meditate on God’s Word. That is secret one to victorious living. Only when you allow God’s truth to fill your mind does His pure truth transform your life. Try it! Get the Navigators Topical Memory System and following the plan of memorizing two verses per week. It will change your life! That’s not my promise but God’s promise.
Soon I’ll be sharing with you secret number two. It’s powerful and life changing!
