JCILM Control Your Emotions Part - 3 Life is filled with choices; choices that affect us on an everyday basis in everything we do. This means that our everyday choices are very significant. Our choices affect us and others in dramatic ways whether we see the result immediately or not. On His part God is gracious towards us whether we realize it or not, or whether we ever give Him thanks for His blessings. In fact, every good gift we enjoy comes from God. But the law of the harvest is clear - We reap only what we have sown. Galatians 6: 7 – 8 --- Do not be deceived; God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Since everything reproduces after its kind, God can never be mocked. Just as no one can sow peas and produce watermelon, or breed donkeys and produce thoroughbred horses, so no one can sow evil and produce good. We cannot sow discord and produce unity. We cannot sow lies and produce truth. We cannot sow sin and produce holiness. If we sow to the Spirit, we reap of the Spirit. If we sow to the flesh, we reap of the flesh. If we sow evil, we will reap evil. If we have filled our minds and hearts with what is evil, we cannot bring forth what is good. Hence it is important that our thoughts are in line with the Word of God. Deuteronomy 30:19--- I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live. If our thinking is in agreement with the Word of God, we will choose life for ourselves and our generations. Yet Satan tries to distract us by making the world look beautiful, attractive and desirable. He fills our mind with unimportant and distracting thoughts while we are attempting to worship and pray to our God. He emphasises the great, the rich, the honourable, the intellectual elite, the wise, the most honoured, and the sheer majority of people who do not trouble themselves with worshipping the Lord? He leads us to wrongly understand the implications of the gospel. The important point is that we should focus on the Word of God. The battle is in our minds. If we have control over the negative thoughts that come from Satan and act on God’s Word, we have won the battle in our mind and carve our way to success. Therefore no matter what happens we must always keep our mind focused on God and His Word. Today people are suffering from poverty, but also from lack of love. – Pope Francis Please Click on the links below for: December 2014 teachings Goa January 2015 teachings Goa Contact us: Bro.
